Although tigers aren't found in Africa in this film there is an African voodoo tiger cult. This could be for two reasons explains Phyllis Bruce a researcher from the British Museum no less. One, tigers were introduced to Africa by westerners or two, in ancient times tigers did live in Africa and some of them yet survive. The only actual tiger in the film is one belonging to Shalimar the exotic dancer and when she and other chorus girls are involved in a plane crash the tiger escapes. Also involved in the story are head hunters, a trio of villains and an ex-Nazi hiding out as a trader but who knows the location of lost Nazi gold. So this Jungle Jim film has lots of plot and Jim in his usual way, aided of course by Tamba the chimpanzee unravels the strands.
Johnny Weissmuller in his ninth outing as Jungle Jim leads a mainly uninteresting cast though the film is livened up at one point by Jean Dean giving her all in a voodoo dance. Praise must also go to the tiger itself which in the course of the movie battles a crocodile, a water buffalo and a leopard. In conclusion, apart from Ms. Dean and the tiger it's an uninspired entry in the Jungle Jim canon.
