Plot Summary
A lion trapper [and his daughter] rendezvous with his hardheaded partner in the African jungle. Bomba befriends the girl, Jean, and explains to her why trapping lions is not right, and she comes to understand him; he later sabotages the men's plans, and with assistance from local Masai natives and lions, runs them off. In this film, Bomba uses the word "Ungawa" for the first time.
