Plot

edit

Prince Ali wants the Golden Idol of Watusi and hires a ruthless hunter to get it for him. Bomba has the idol and, with the help of Commissioner Barnes, Eli, and a beautiful archaeologist from the British Museum (Anne Kimbell), he foils Ali's plans. Ali and the hunter are noticeably more cold-blooded than most of Bomba's adversaries.
