Quote : "Well as a scientist, I'm more interested in things with six legs than two. No doubt I'm in the minority."



Dr. Moran has discovered that a tribe of natives down in the Amazon Jungle have a tree that when fed beautiful women, will produce an elixir that can bring the dead back to life. The doctor brings the tree back to England with him and with the help one of the Amazonian natives named Tanga, the doctor proceeds to feed beautiful women to the tree in order to secure the elixir for himself so that he can secure his place as the man who discovered a way to bring the dead back to life. Unfortunately, Tanga has other ideas. How many women will this great tree beast consume? How many native nipples and bongo solos will we have to endure? How low can a blonde's IQ actually get?
