I'm not surprised to see that this film has yet to get 5 votes-- What an oddity this is!The story in short: Two teams of American newspaper reporters (one team: male, the other: female) set out on a Pacific ocean liner when the Japanese suddenly bomb Pearl Harbor. The ocean liner is torpedoed, and through a string of immprobable events, both teams wind up in the Australian Outback!Despite the stock footage of Australian aboriginal tribes, there seems to be plenty of room in this under-an-hour quickie for wartime plotting and a stream of off-color puns that are occasionally quite hilarious.Despite the American actors, you can tell this was made in another country, (Australia) if only because some of the one-liners and puns would NEVER have made it past American censors.Although it drags in spots, this low-budget shortie is not a bad little flick.
