A diamond smuggler works with one tribe to war against another tribe and thereby gain unfettered access to the diamond mine whose owners he has killed. It’s up to Jungle Jim (Johnny Weissmuller), working with Inspector Bernard (Richard Stapley), and with the dubious assistance of the chimp Tamba, to put an end to the scheme in a fairly standard adventure that is the last of the Jungle Jim films (though Weissmuller would make three more nearly the same, but with the character name changed to “Johnny Weissmuller”).

  Mildly recommended for fans but little to offer others. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 340 for 2021.
