The Lost Volcano (1950)


Monogram Pictures
Directed by Forde Beebe
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, Allied Artists)
(Turner Classic Movies)

Bomba the Jungle Boy befriends little squirt Tommy Ivo, who can't convince his parents that Bomba isn't a figment of his imagination. However, when a gold knife with jewels is discovered, greedy poachers kidnap the kid and force him to lead them to the treasure hidden deep inside a volcano. Bomba comes to the rescue but is captured. They are all taken to the volcano but it erupts, conveniently killing the bad guys but sparing everyone else. Juvenile nonsense, even for Saturday matinee fare.
