Jungle Jim rescues jungle girl from natives who killed her parents. The girl, platinum blonde Anita Lhoest in her only screen credit, has no speaking parts until late in the film, but can communicate with animals by whistling. Treasure hunter Buster Crabbe, a former Tarzan himself, dives in a lagoon after lost gold, which features some good underwater action scenes with skeletons. Otherwise, this is a bad movie even by Jungle Jim standards, with loads of stock footage, stereotyped natives played by white men covered with dark makeup, rubber alligator wrestling and comedy relief from an anthropomorphic chimp and his dog sidekick.
