Avery was getting ready to really skewer travelogues. This shows him finding his feet.
This was actually banned for the musical interlude. Showing the natives doing the cakewalk then a scat version of 'Sweet Georgia Brown' probably would rub a few the wrong way. But it was done with affection. Right down to the scatting of the Fats Waller clone.
Otherwise it's just a series of spot gags. Avery did spot gags well and this is no exception.
The egghead character makes an appearance here too. Apparently, Egghead was a caricature of a radio comedian that never made it. Avery was a fan so that's the reason for his use. He would later morph into Elmer Fudd. (Really!)
There's enough here to get a few laughs out of anyone.
