| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Road to Morocco |
|---|
In one of the best Crosby & Hope pictures, Jeff and Orville aka "Turkey" are American stowaways on a mediterranean ship that sinks, which is Orville's fault no less, and they end up drifting aimlessly to a desert shore. In the nearest Arabic city, Jeff sells Orville into slavery for $200, but instead, he ends up somehow engaged to the Princess Shalmar. Jeff catches up with them and falls for the princess as well, and attempts to "rescue" his friend from a life of luxury and take his place.
