[edit] Trivia

This was the serial debut of Linda Stirling.
The look of Tiger Woman's costume obviously has nothing to do with tigers (it has spots rather than stripes, for example). However, it is possible that it is meant to be a Jaguar costume and the title should be The Tigre Woman instead (due to its South American location). Another explanation is that the costume was designed to have a Tiger-like appearance but the studio could not acquire Tiger-design fabric in time for shooting.
The serial is also known as "Perils of the Darkest Jungle" and was made under the working title "The Tiger Woman of the Amazon"
