The Adventures of Nigel and Corky

... They were on a rickety old plane that looked like I could've been flown sometime during the fifties, everyone was snickering and making comments about it when all of a sudden the engines started to sputter and die. The engines went out and the pilot was forced into attempting a crash landing, he dint do too good and the only survivors were Nigel Frumpton, a world famous explorer and professional treasure hunter and Corky, the pilots assistant, see Corky was a little slower than normal and the only reason he worked for the pilot is because the pilot felt sorry for him.

As they gathered all the supplies that were salvageable Nigel was trying to come up with some sort a plan. After they were ready Nigel explained to Corky that they were going to continue with the expedition while looking for some sort of civilization where they could get a hold of someone to come help them. It didn't really look too likely for a while because they were stranded deep in the middle of the thick jungles of South America.

Nigel being the expert he was didn't over react to the situation and calmly let go of the snake and at the same time quickly cut off a nearby vine from the tree and ran over to Corky, by this time he had sunk to his waistline and was getting pretty impatient with Nigel. Nigel tossed him one end of the vine so he could hold on while he tried to pull him out of the death trap. After nearly ten minutes of pulling as hard as he could Nigel finally got Corky out of the puddle.
