Synopsis
Amos P. Stitch, a likable alcoholic who is one of the wealthiest men in America, has a reputation for carrying out his whims. After listening to a lecture about an African expedition, Stitch hires the lecturer, explorer Jim Franklin, to go with him to Africa to get animals for a zoo Stitch wants for his Westchester County home. Because Jim says that there are no mice in the jungle, Stitch purchases one to see if elephants are really afraid of them. When their taxi driver says that he has always wanted to go to Africa, the driver and taxi are brought on board the ocean liner. In the jungle, Jim hires as an assistant Alec Bernouth, a German who warns of a tribe that sacrifices humans and relates that a white girl, known as the jungle goddess, was lost in the jungle as a baby and, having grown up with the animals, has never been seen by a white man. After they trap a lion, the jungle goddess sneaks into the camp and releases it. By placing a mirror in the jungle to attracts the goddess, Jim traps her, but after Bernouth, lusting for a white woman, attacks her, Jim fights him off and sets her free. Meanwhile, Stitch and his servant Oscar, a black man from Harlem who wants to return, put Stitch's mouse at the feet of an elephant who runs off terrified. While Bernouth tells the tribe that sacrifices humans that Jim has locked up the goddess, she returns and kisses Jim, who is uneasy about his reaction to her. After the tribe captures Jim, Bernouth attempts to rape the goddess again, but Stitch and the taxi driver rescue Jim, who is tied to a stake, by scaring the tribesmen with gunshots and the car horn. Jim fights Bernouth and just as Bernouth is about to shoot him, a gorilla, alerted by the goddess' chimpanzee friend, grabs Bernouth, after which Jim and the goddess embrace.
