Jy is my liefling (Frans Marx)

This is a film, blending romantic, comedy, action and musical elements in a madcap caper about diamonds, love and a pet baboon. Willie Willeboer, a nerdish young journalist, loses his job. He decides to write a book and lands up at Bosparadys game farm, home to Oubaas du Toit and his lovely daughter Ans. Willeboer rescues a baby baboon from a cheetah, names it Fielies, and the two become inseparable. In the meantime, Willie finds a diamond in the veld. He hides the stone, not realising it was deliberately thrown from an aeroplane by thieves who know it has magical powers. The crooks attack Willie, but it is when they shoot Fielies that he loses his temper and takes them hostage. When Willie hands over thieves and diamond to the police, his luck changes: Ans returns his love and Fielies wakes up from a coma.
