    A brother and sister "Robert & Judy Maitland" are trying to turn some jungle acreage into a rubber plantation so hire a group of the natives to help out by "cutting down the trees so they can plant more trees". The couple - via the auspices of local commissioner Charles Irwin - try to convince our tousled hero "Bomba" (Johnny Sheffield) to help out; but he is determined to track down a man-eating panther that has been terrorising the locals. In order to speed things up, "Robert" tries to burn down part of the forest and chaos ensues... Add to the mix a seductive Lita Baron and it's not just the embers that start to smoulder. The story is quite weak, and the sets (and animal library footage) really do let the look of it down badly - but Johnny Sheffield does have something quite cute on screen and though it does take most of it's 70 minutes to get going, it's still quite a fun jungle caper.

The Emerald Forest

For ten years, engineer Bill Markham has searched tirelessly for his son Tommy who disappeared from the edge of the Brazilian rainforest. Miraculously, he finds the boy living among the reclusive Amazon tribe who adopted him. And that's when Bill's adventure truly begins. For his son is now a grown tribesman who moves skillfully through this beautiful-but-dangerous terrain, fearful only of those who would exploit it. And as Bill attempts to "rescue" him from the savagery of the untamed jungle, Tommy challenges Bill's idea of true civilization and his notions about who needs rescuing.
