Theatrical Release Information | See Details About All Versions
In the ninth and final episode of the "Honeymooners Trip to Europe" story arc, the Kramdens and the Nortons embark upon an African safari as the last leg of their vacation, even though wives Alice (Sheila MacRae) and Trixie (Jane Kean) would rather go to the Riviera. While the girls do all the cooking and cleaning, Ralph and Ed do the "great white hunter" routine, though Ed is only able to bag a rabbit. Ultimately, Ralph realizes that the safari was a big mistake, though he'll never admit this to Alice. The songs, by Lyn Duddy and Jerry Bresler, include "Boys Who Bring 'Em Back Alive," "We Must Be Out of Our Minds" and, inevitably, "It's Fun to Come Home." A full-color remake of a Honeymooners sketch that originally aired live on April 13, 1957, "Petticoat Jungle" was telecast December 10, 1966, as an episode of The Jackie Gleason Show. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
