This is the one that started it all, the first of the famous "Road" pictures starring Bob Hope and Bing Crosby as a team of irrepressible bachelors who end up in the most exotic places! This time it's Singapore, and the scenery gets steamy with the addition of Dorothy Lamour as the beautiful live-in housekeeper they bring home. When junior shipping mogul Josh Mallon (Crosby) comes too close to getting hitched, he and his best buddy Ace Lannigan (Hope) run to the furthest point they can find on a map - Singapore. On one of their pub-crawls, they discover Mima (Lamour), who is being tormented by her bull-whip toting dance partner. They rescue her and she becomes their co-habiting caretaker. All is fine until Josh and Ace both fall for Mima, but in the end good friends and true love find their way home.
