Jungle Mystery

Jungle Mystery is a 1932 American pre-Code Universal 12-chapter movie serial directed by Ray Taylor.

Various expeditionary parties head to Zanzibar to search for a legendary cache of ivory and a missing explorer named Jack Morgan.

The film is noteworthy for its extensive use of stock footage of various jungle animals, many of them repeated frequently throughout the serial.

Although it had been believed lost for many years, the original nitrate negative was in fact still in the Universal vaults.

It was preserved in 2016 (along with the edited 1935 feature version which ran only 75 minutes) and officially re-premiered at the Cinecon Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, CA during the 2016 Labor Day weekend.
