[2] Jean Preston (Patricia Morison) is determined to find her fiancé, Greg Jones (Bruce Edwards), who went on a safari and didn’t come back when expected.

She travels to Akbar, India with Greg’s father, Colonel Jones (John Miljan), who also narrates the film, together with Wayne Monroe (Keith Richards) and the Professor (Wilson Benge).

Although the clerk acts like he knows nothing of Jones, he immediately makes a suspicious phone call when the group leaves the lobby.

While Jean unpacks in her room, a native woman named Tondra (Vida Aldana), who spied on the group in the hotel lobby earlier, knocks on the door.

They also pick up famed safari cook, Gabby (J. Edward Bromberg), who likes to recite the poem Three Fishers to his pet monkey and tells stories of escaping his wife with belligerent verbosity.
