Plots(1)
Coach Archer (John Amos) is more famous for losing than winning, but a fateful African safari with his wacky assistant (Tim Conway) leads them to a boy wonder named Nanu (Jan-Michael Vincent) -- who just might give them a winning streak. Coaxing him to America is one thing, but the laughs never stop when Nanu meets Jane, fame, and brings the jungle to the gym on his way to becoming the World's Greatest Athlete.
