Charles Bickford stars in this pre-code potboiler from Universal. A woman (Rose Hobart) goes looking for her missing husband (Bickford). She finds him on a tropical island, an alcoholic doctor working for a jungle prince. The prince is very horny so look out, Rose. A corny and mostly dull B movie that gets ample use of stock footage of various animals, especially crocodiles. Jungle pictures can be very exciting but Tarzan this ain't. The climax involves the wild animals forming a union over harsh working conditions, leading to a revolt just as the island's obligatory volcano pops its top. Despite all this seemingly fun stuff, the movie is pretty much a snoozer.
