Gillis of Chicken Run, Tennessee, he who has come to town in search of a talent agent so that he can get into show business as a singer. Herbert, Winnie and Dobie quickly fall under the charms of Virgil, but Maynard smells a sneak and phony. Based on the advice of talent agent Charles Wayzak, what Virgil's act needs among other things is better costumes, a female sidekick with good legs (which he sees on Dobie's girlfriend, Grace Grimsby), and a testing ground to gage audience reaction. Using manipulation masquerading as southern charm, Virgil goes about trying to acquire these, which requires, among other things, Herbert's $300 and more. Can Maynard eventually unmask the true Virgil T. Gillis to Dobie, Herbert and Winnie?

Indeed, the jungle and the expedition prove to be too much for Dobie, both personally and academically. Maynard, on the other hand, is in his element, he who ends up impressing both Dr. Burkhart and Clydene. To win Clydene back from Maynard, Dobie goes on a trek for what is considered the most prized artifact in the jungle: a shrunken head. With the help of Mr. Himelmayer, an ex-pat who is known as the most influential man in the jungle if not perhaps a little shady, Dobie does manage to buy a shrunken head.
