With plenty of stock footage in the jungle, Uncle Grant shows some jungle movies to his niece and nephews. The narrator explains
about the mysteries of Africa. Grant and his friend, wild animal trainer, Clyde are searching for a lion. They run into Jo Carter, the animal trapper.
While Jo shows them around her place, a native accidentally starts a fire that burns most of Jo's estate. Gorman, Jo dad's father
partner, stops by for a visit and to pay his respects for her bad luck losing the animals she's caught. Grant and Clyde offer to help
Jo. They decide to go after a gorilla, that's where the big money is.
On the safari, our heroes realize that Gorman is tracking them. They find gorilla tracks and set a pit to catch the gorilla. Gorman
catches up before the gorilla gets trapped. Lifting it out of the net, the gorilla attacks Gorman but is rescued.
Later, Gorman tells Clyde where there might be some lions. Clyde and Grant track off for the lions. They meet with the commissioner
who warns them about approaching the grounds of some tribes and to beware of the tsetse fly.
On safari, the stock footage of more animal ensues. Spotting a pride of lion, they catch a lion. Grant is getting sick and gotten sleeping sickness. Clyde decides the best bet is going through the tribal lands. They run into Grubbs, a trapper who saved the chief's son and is now imprisoned by the tribe. Clyde decides to leave Grubbs behind but find his hidden boat.
Cutting to the "TOO DARK TO SEE" scene, some shouting and screaming ensues. Clyde and Grant use Grubbs and Tribe's king as hostage to escape.
Later, Grant is about to leave but gets a call from Clyde who has tip on where he can get some black panthers. Grant and Clyde jump
off into adventure again....
