Daredevil stunt driver Eddie Miles has been hired to drive Count Borgia's second car in the "African International Rally;" he immediately gets himself fired by humiliatingly defeating his boss in a test race. Mischief-maker Playboy's writer J.J. Dalton asks her editor to send her to cover the race; she will be the navigator for Freddie Selkirk, her pilot friend. The editor, enticed by the idea of having her many miles away, consents.
On arrival, she finds out Freddie will be unable to run (or do anything else for that matter), so she buys a decrepit car and looks for a pilot, just as Eddie is looking for a car to drive. After he demonstrates his nerve-racking driving capabilities and the poor condition of the car, he suggests J.J. interview Count Borgia while he steals an engine from him. That's the beginning of their disagreements.
As the three-day rally progresses, they manage to smooth things over, strike a friendship, and start a romance. A young baboon joins them, and together they face the dangers of the wilderness, cunning natives, and the dastardly opera-singing Count Borgia, who together with his minion Feodor, will stop at nothing to get his revenge and win the rally.
