In this road to Hong Kong and parts far beyond, Chester and Harry (Hope and Crosby) are a couple of failed vaudeville stars looking for a way to riches in the confidence game. Chester's memory goes kaputz, and the two end up involved with Diane (Joan Collins), a spy looking for a secret formula, and a bunch of hoodlums who plan on sending up a rocket to the moon with special equipment allowing them to rule the planet earth. The pair of heroes gets caught in the rocket instead of the originally intended monkeys, and the monkey business continues in outer space -- where it seems to be all along. In this mixed collage of events, several stars pop up in cameo roles: Peter Sellers, Dean Martin, David Niven, Frank Sinatra among them. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Steve Crum, Kansas City Kansan
Forced gags, and Hope & Crosby creak along in the last Road picture.

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Occasionally bright attempt at recapturing the old 'Road' pictures doesn't quite make it
