When British officials discover that there are massive oil reserves within the borders of Ninjana -- a West African country that up until very recently was under colonial rule -- they search for a way to cash in. Unfortunately for the Brits, they put their trust in Morgan Leafy (Colin Friels), a dim-witted diplomat far more interested in booze and women than oil profits. Louis Gossett Jr. and Sean Connery co-star in this comedy of manners.
