Captive Girl is the fourth Jungle Jim film produced by Columbia Pictures.

[1][2] It was also Weissmuller's second teaming with his fellow former Tarzan and Olympic Gold Medal swimming champion Buster Crabbe after Swamp Fire (1946).

He is to escort Chief Mahala, returning after studying in the West, to regain the leadership of his tribe.

Hakim keeps his power by making sacrifices of prisoners bound in gold chains and jewels who are thrown into the Lagoon of the Dead; these victims included the Martindales with Hakim seeking Joan to prevent her testifying against him after Mahala gains control of the tribe.

Using scuba gear, Barton seeks to gather the gold and jewels of the drowned victims for himself.
