Milo Jackson (Conway) is a forlorn assistant coach who travels to Africa, where he finds a jungle man named Nanu (Vincent). Milo swindles Nanu into leaving his home country for the US, and gets the Tarzan-like man a tutor named Jane (Dayle Haddon). Unfortunately, the tutor has a jealous, scheming boyfriend.
