A skeleton is discovered by Tony Cooper (Ian Colin) and Dalton (James Carew) in the African bush. With the skeleton is a letter to Wilkins (James Harcourt) in London. Cooper naturally makes the very long trip to act as the postman. Wilkins, an ornithology obsessed clerk, says the letter is from his brother and that he discovered a fortune in diamonds in Africa.
Cooper and Wilkins recruit Trevor (James Craven) and Carol (Joan Gardner) to fly them to Africa. The natives are friendly though the other white men already there not quite so. Dalton is also rather annoyed at Cooper who he thinks has tricked him out of the diamonds. The diamonds are discovered but then the deaths begin. Who is killing off the party to keep the diamonds for themselves?
A straightforward film with a basic story padded out with plenty of wild animal and native footage. More a murder mystery than a jungle adventure though you pretty much guess who it is before very long. Not a bad little film at all.
