A Budget

of $1 million on this lame can of drivel? So it says in the budget section. Johnny should not have left the series as his drunken paunch would have served the world with a more realistic jungle jerk. Instead they gave us this and George Zucco and Benji the banjo boy are the main reasons to watch. That and the T Man's "magic shoes".

Let it be unsaid: insignificance is the locus of true increpation.

Most of the $1 million must have gone to Johnny. It sure wasn't spent on a script or special effects.

This is the only weak film of the 12.

There were other weak ones besides this winner.
