Episode Summary & Review
Summary
A parody of the Hope/Crosby Road pictures is done in this episode as Duckman and Cornfed act as chaperones for Ajax’s class trip to the Sudan. Ajax is kidnapped. Duckman and Cornfed must rescue Ajax from a Sultan, his Fakir and a beautiful princess.
Our Take
A full-on Hope and Crosby riff that mostly earns the gimmick, with Cornfed’s deadpan playing perfectly against the song-and-dance absurdity. Some of the gags run longer than they should and the princess subplot is filler, but the musical numbers are surprisingly committed and Ajax’s spaciness lands a few good laughs. Worth a watch if you like the show’s weirder swings, though it’s not an essential one.
