The film is short as it runs only 60 minutes, and the plot is very simple, but I did find myself enjoying it.
A hunter in South American, Mr. Samson (David DeLie) falls for a young woman named Morena (Angelica Morelas) and they seem to hit it off very well. That is until a tribe picks her out to be a new virgin sacrifice.
Samson had witnessed one of the ceremonies when he was a child and sfter Morena is kidnapped, he follows thru thr jungle in order to rescue her. This takes up most of the screen running time and it culminates in a fight to the death between Samson and Tumic (Antonio Gutierrez).
You get a lot of nice jungle footage in this film as well as some bondage and nudity, which was very rare in films in 1960. This is available on a DVD from Something Weird, if you can find it.
I wasn't bored with the film at all, but I saw so much potential that was overlooked. If you get a chance to see it, you might like it, but then again you might not. Judge for yourself.
