Synopsis:

Protagonist of the film is Morgan Leaffy, low-level British diplomat recently assigned to the post in newly independent African state of Kinjaja. For him the mission in African hellhole is equal to punishment, but his problems are only starting when he receives an important task from his ambitious boss Arthur Fenshawe. He must convince country's Professor Adenkule, country's most powerful politician, to give lucrative oil-drilling rights to British company. Another problem is local superstition that risks create major diplomatic scandal. Leaffy's efforts to solve those problems are hindered by his own womanising habits and some really embarrassing health issues. The only person who might aid Leaffy is Dr. Alex Murray, altruistic Scottish physician.
