Bomba and the Jungle Girl (1952)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by Ford Beebe
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Bomba goes deep in the jungle in search of his parents where he finds a tribe being ruled by a false king. I'm not sure if the jungle girl of the title was supposed to be white teenager Karen Sharpe or the black woman trailing Bomba, neither of whom are very important to the plot. Anyway, Bomba finds his parents buried in a cave. A diary explains everything, including Bomba's last name, which was "Hastings", but his first name is not revealed.
