Bomba the Jungle Boy number 11:
Bomba (Johnny Sheffield) is hunting a black leopard that has a
predeliction for killing humans when he bumps into Linda Winters (Beverly
Garland), a movie actress trying to track down her husband Fred (Donald
Murphy), who has fled the USA after he had embezzled quite a sum of money.
Bomba is quick to track down Fred, but he doesn't want to have anything to
do with his wife anymore, even though she promises to take care of the
embezzlement-affair. But no, Fred haas hooked up with crooked guide Pulham
(Barry Bernard), and together they are heading for a diamond mine headed
by Sanders (Harry Cording) to buy some diamonds from him behind the mining
company's back.
Thing is, Pulham gets greedy eventually, too greedy for his own good,
and so Sanders kills him in cold blood and has his body hidden away in a
cave, then tells Fred, who doesn't know about his partner's unfortunate
death, to make a getaway on his own. Somehow, Fred is persuaded to do just
that even if he has no jungle experience - but when heading to
God-knows-where, he bumps into Bomba and Linda, but before he and his wife
can get into an argument, the black leopard attacks, and while Bomba takes
him on in fight, Fred and Linda hide in a nearby cave - where they find
the corpse of Pulham. Fred realizes he is down on his luck and the only
way out is to kill Bomba while he's fighting the leopard, as this
way it would look like an accident ... but as he is to do just that, the
police arrives, shoots the gun right out of his hands, and arrests Fred
while Bomba has finally succeeded in killing the killer leopard.
Nothing big, not even within the Bomba series, but like
most films of the series, an ok jungle adventure of the cheap variety.
