Pygmy Island (1950)

Columbia Pictures
Directed by William Berke
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

In Jungle Jim #5, Weissmuller helps the Army find a missing doctor while stopping foreign agents. Everyone is after a pygmy tribe's native plant whose fibers can be used for military applications. Jungle Jim wrestles a rubber alligator and tangles with a man in an ape suit on a bridge over a gorge. However, the lasting impression is of little people in loin cloths swinging from tree-to-tree on vines. Billy Barty and Billy Curtis never had it so bad.
