***SPOILERS*** The usual non violent and peace loving Bomba, Johnny Sheffield, the jungle boy takes the gloves off and keeps his loin cloth and underneath briefs on in taking on a number of poachers who are out to shoot his elephant friends for their precious ivory tusks.
Gunning down their guide Game Warden Mark Phllips, Guy Kingsford, Warren & Collins, John Kellogg & Myron Healey,are now free to gun down as many elephants as they want and take their Ivory tusks across the border of the game reserve into Portuguese territory. With Warren impersonating the late Mark Phillips the two poachers have a field day in gunning down helpless elephants until Bomba arrives and puts their plans on ice. By him organizing his elephant friends with the help of his monkey sidekick to strike back at the poachers with the fury of an unstoppable elephant stampede.
It's not just the elephants that we and Bomba get to see in the film there's also pretty Lola,Donna Martell, who's helping the local natives with her boss spinster schoolmaster Miss. Banks, Edith Evarson, on their A.B.C's. So that they get get educated enough to be able to read the works of Milton Melville and Dickens that she has ready or them in her school library.
It's when both Warren & Collins plan to raid the secret cave that tons of ivory tusks are hidden in that the very naive chief Nagaila, Martin Wilkins, told them about that Bomba springs into action. There's also the fact that the two poachers later kidnap and are holding both Lola and Miss. Banks hostage and threaten to murder them if they don't get what they want- the information that Bomba has-in finding the secret cave. That also gets Bomba a bit, quite a bit, hot under, since he doesn't wear a shirt, the loin cloth in him dealing with them.
***SPOILERS*** Violent ending with the elephants coming to Bomba Lola and Miss.Banks rescue and putting and end to both Warran and Collins,who had by then had a falling out, dreams of wealth and glory. It was the worst of the two Warren, who shot and killed his partner Collins and wounded Lola, who ended up getting the worst of it. In him being trampled to death by the rampaging elephants whom he was planning to do in for their ivory. As for Bomba he's now back swinging on tree vines with his monkey friends in the jungle and eating his favorite diet of coconuts and bananas. And thanks to Lola in her teaching Bomba to read and write English he plans to find a newsstand,if there's one in the jungle, and get the latest edition of the Wall Street Journal New York Times and Washington Post and catch up with the latest business and news of the world. That's if he can somehow come up with the cash to buy them.
