This film shows a strong Tex Avery influence, and copies Avery's blood transfusion gag from Crazy Mixed Up Pup.

Reception

Motion Picture Exhibitor (October 1, 1958): "Featuring modernistic drawings, this concerns an American hunter in Africa who tangles with a small native who comes to America and turns out to be a purple people eater. The cannibal finds the loud mouthed hunter. There is an accident. The hunter is given a blood transfusion from the cannibal, and this makes him a people eater, too. Fair."[2]

gollark: I mean, turtle quarries are meant to do that, they are just not able to do it very well right now.
gollark: I've decided to just accept the effective post-scarcity of basic mineable resources.
gollark: Yes, that is correct.
gollark: You can also do that in CC+Vanilla.
gollark: My pack's got NuclearCraft, which is probably the coolest way, and requires actual thought, but you can still make lots of RF easily.
