Jungle Jim hurriedly prevents chief religious official Wombulu (Charles Horvath) from slaughtering an African native as an offering to the tiger god Tambura.

The furious voodoo practitioner lunges for Jungle Jim with a knife, only to be shot by hunter Abel Peterson (James Seay).

However, Jim receives a last-minute notification that Major Bill Green of the United States (Robert Bray) has come with Commissioner Kingston (Richard Kipling) to meet businessman Karl Werner (Michael Fox).

Werner, who operates in the jungle, is believed to possess knowledge of the artworks' whereabouts.

Werner claims to not know anything about the looted art pieces; Green rebuts him by labelling him as a "Nazi" who aided the looters.

The natives, who are about to massacre Jim, see the tiger and kneel on their knees, believing it to be Tambura.

Jungle Jim stops Peterson in his tracks and rescues Werner from the hunter's clutches.

Sam Katzman was in charge of production for Columbia Pictures, while Samuel Newman wrote the screenplay.
