Glenn Saxon stars as George an explorer who is called on to lead an expedition into the jungle to find a plane that crashed a few years before.
George has been in the same spot on a previous trip and was saved from hostile natives by a beautiful jungle woman, and he himself is anxious to go back and have several questions answered.
George leads a young woman named Isabel (Evi Marandi) on the expedition as it was her father who was flying the plane and she wants to see if any of the very valuable Chinese treasures he had with him survived the crash.
On the trip they run into hostile natives, double crossing crooks who want the treasures for themselves, and a giant maneating plant. Luana (Mei Chen) watches them silently from the trees to learn their customs and ways.
She ends up saving the expedition on numerous occasions and then Isabel learns that Luana is her sister. Luana was the product of her father's marriage to a Chinese princess.
Chen as Luana has no lines in the entire film, but she displays a beautiful look of innocence thru the entire film. This film looks beautiful and was obtained by Sinister Cinema by way of special arrangements with Fred Olen Ray's Retromedia.
I have always loved these types of pulp adventure films and this is no exception. It's fun, it moves quickly and the leading ladies are lovely as always. The giant plant is cool as well as the arm wrestling over scorpions. Check it out.
