 From this point forward, the plot is driven by a combination of slapstick and suspense, for Nanu's destiny as the "World's Greatest Athlete" will annoy several powerful people who are used to getting their way.Nanu's innocence, Archer's scheming, Jackson's ineptitude, Gazenga's outraged wisdom, and the Machiavellian plotting of the villains all play roles in the action as the film heads toward the final track meet.The atmosphere of American competition does indeed threaten Nanu, but he is saved from disintegration by love interest Jane Douglas.
