    Storyline

    Edit
    Nona Brooks, former member of a stranded theatrical troupe, earns a temporary living singing in a café in Duakwa, British Rhodesia, Africa. The café owner is secretly in league with two foreign agents with a goal of making the natives restless. American explorer Larry Mason leaves for the jungle with his servant, Jeff and a safari. Nona escapes the café into the jungle but is followed by the agents as, unknowing to her, she is carrying a report of the agent's activities. She joins the safari just as all hands are captured by a tribe of natives. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net>

    THIS QUOTE IS WRONG "Cannons to the right of me! Cannons to the left of me! And I ain't got no health insurance!'
    HE ACTUALLY SAYS CANNIBALS to the right of me! CANNIBALS to the left of me! And I ain't got no health insurance!

    CANNIBALS NOT CANNONS!
