[edit] Plot
The film took the premise of that year's Phantom Empire but transferred the lost civilization, motif from the west to another popular serial locale, the African jungle. Scientist Bruce Gordon comes to a secluded area in Africa after realizing that a series of electricly induced natural disasters had been detected in the area. There he finds Zolock, last of the Lemurians, in a secret complex under a mountain.
Zolock had created the natural disaters as a prelude to his attempt to take over the world, holding a brilliant scientist there hostage with his daughter. He had also forced the scientist to create mindless "giant" slaves out of the natives as a private army. As the serial progresses we learn that the sceintist had also turned another tribe, the Wangas, into white burley haired midgets.
