African Treasure (1952)

In the heart of the African jungle, a mysterious wave of silence sweeps over the district, drawing the attention of Andy Barnes. He learns that three diamond smugglers posing as geologists disappeared in his region weeks ago. Among the missing is Gatesby, a name that echoes ominously through the dense foliage. Simultaneously, a hunter named Pat Gilroy arrives, shrouded in intrigue, his true identity concealed beneath the alias of an escaped convict, Roy DeHaven. Amidst this chaos, the drumbeats of the jungle call upon Bomba, the Jungle Boy. Barnes entrusts him with the mission to trace the enigmatic Gatesby. Bomba’s journey through the wilderness, guided by the symphony of jungle drums and his loyal animal companions, reveals a chilling discovery—Gatesby's lifeless body. However, the jungle also unveils hope in the form of Lita Sebastian, a resilient young woman scouring the wild for her missing father, Pedro. Together, Bomba and Lita follow a trail of clues that lead them to their village, only to find a haunting tableau of death and despair. Their quest for answers takes them to a remote location where Pedro Sebastian had once reported fertile grounds, potentially harboring a treasure of diamonds. As the harsh reality dawns upon them, they find themselves confronting ruthless criminals exploiting the natives in a merciless diamond excavation operation within an extinct volcano, known locally as The Mountain of Diamonds. Concurrently, the local government official unknowingly welcomes the infamous DeHaven, whose ill-equipped safari raises suspicion. With chaos reigning in the once tranquil jungle, Bomba is tasked with the monumental challenge of bringing justice to the wilderness and putting an end to the diamond smugglers' reign of terror, all while guiding Lita in her quest to find her father. The fate of the jungle and its inhabitants hang in the balance in this riveting tale of courage, mystery, and survival.
