Big game hunter Burton (Don Harvey) turns up in the jungle with a group of natives and a tiger in a cage, however he is not here to massacre defenceless animals, he is hunting for a boy. A boy who is rumoured to have been bought up by chimpanzees after his parents were killed in a plane crash. That does sound a bit familiar doesn't it?
Tawa (Robert Cabal) has in fact been bought up by Trader Kirk (Forrest Taylor) and his friendly natives who live alongside chimps. Burton tries to lure Tawa back to civilisation using the image of the lights of Broadway as the best thing in the universe. This is truly a very strange film.
Not a great deal happens in this film, it has all the usual jungle and noble savage tropes and is padded out with plenty of stock footage of wild animals. Ray "Crash" Corrigan also turns up with his gorilla suit to do his usual unconvincing ape act. Not a good film by any means but watchable enough especially if you like seeing chimpanzees messing about.
