Obviously, time to call in Bomba the Jungle Boy (Johnny Sheffield). Heis summoned via the jungle drum wireless-telegraph, and Barnes asksBomba to go to the cheesy back lot set and try to locate Gatesby, thegeologist who was with Greg (Arthur Space) and Hardy (LaneBradford.)Bomba finds the body of Gatesby but…lucky him and theviewer—he also finds Lita Sebastian (Laurette Luez), who is out inthe jungle looking for her father, Pedro (Martin Garralaga),aPortuguese guide, and the cheesy jungle set now looks better than itdid. Through the help of jungle drums and his animal friends, all stockfootage except Kimbbo the Chimp, Bomba leads Lita to where her father,and a large number of natives, are being held as slaves by Greg andHardy, who have found diamonds in the crater of an extinct volcano,known locally as The Mountain of Diamonds. Lita is captured by Greg,but Bomba has summoned help and Gerg and Hardy flee but not withoutfirst staring a landslide on the enslaved workers. Bomba has a lot of work to do before he can restore order to thisjungle. |
