This is pretty standard jungle fayre with Buster Crabbe leading the cast as a group of explorers try to find the legendary "City of the Dead" deep in the African jungle. This is a largely under-resourced effort peppered with plenty of interesting animal archive (not always played in real time!) as t ... he team have to combat the natives, disease and some hungry lions and snakes as they track down a city that bore a starting resemblance to Angkor Wat. Crabbe himself is not involved in their trek, he is a local doctor trying to obtain a serum that will help the local population fight off disease. His attempt to retrieve this medicine from a sunken wreck allows him to get his shirt off and offers us a brief "Tarzan" impression, but for the most part the rest of this is all just a bit basic and roughly hewn together, with plenty of shrieking from the damsel in distress Shiela Darcy and an ending that sort of peters out rather than delivers anything.
