Synopsis by Clarke Fountain

The diminutive, loincloth-clad Bushman from the Kalihari Desert who starred in The Gods Must Be Crazy and in its sequel also appears in this Hong Kong comedy. In this story, N!xau (playing himself) has just finished saving a wealthy asian businesswoman from a lion, and has somehow become entangled in her luggage as it is being loaded onto her private jet, bound for Hong Kong. When he finally escapes from the jet's luggage compartment, he is in that ciy, and must use his incomparable tracking techniques, forged in the desert, to find the woman and get back home. Along the way, he foils some jewel thieves, and teaches the wealthy businesswoman that there's more to life than money and a high-consumption lifestyle.
