Description: Burt Darwin is a collector of world religions. Lady Chanel Mallory, a former hand model, has married into the aristocracy and loves romance novels. Her husband Lord Percy, a pompous cynic, mistakenly thinks she's French. Sister Mary dresses like Mother Teresa and believes flossing is blasphemous. Four passengers on a cruise ship, thrown together by chance, take an ill-judged excursion into modern-day Benin. Amongst angry Kings, sarcastic pythons, fortune-tellers and Vodun gods, the hypocrisies and venality of the misfits are revealed with hilarious and unforgettable results. Oh, and one of them saves the world --
