Sheffield was starting to outgrow his character by this point, the 9th Bomba movie since 1949. Here he is credited as "John" Sheffield instead of the usual "Johnny", a subtle acknowledgment of that very fact. This time around, a Hollywood crew is in Africa to get film of animals in action. Bomba reluctantly agrees to help after hearing that one of them is a murderer and the police are on the way to make an arrest. Unfortunately that leaves plenty of time to kill a few animals for the sake of entertainment. I'm not sure the producers of the real film realized that the plot condemns the very film they are making!
