Synopsis

Stranded in a West African colony without her passport, an American singer discovers that enemy agents want to use her for their plans. She escapes into the interior and finds shelter with a scientist and his assistant. Their expedition becomes involved in the pursuit, while help arrives from a local leader who overturns their expectations.

Historical context

The film combines a jungle-adventure setting with wartime espionage. Its colonial viewpoint and racial stereotypes remain visible even when the educated African chief proves more capable and reasonable than the outsiders assume.
