Orphaned and raised by wild animals in Kenya, Africa, Sheena became the queen of the jungle. She championed the local natives, protected animals, and battled evildoers. Sheena was a proto feminist in leopard skin, being the only genuinely independent woman on television in that era. Sheena broke early 50s stereotypes. It is a series that has grown in popularity and importance over the years.

A young girl journeys to Africa to find her father, an explorer who vanished in the jungle. Battling Nazis in Africa with the help on a Jungle Queen named Lothel who can walk through fire. Very unusual serial for the time with 3 leading women and lots of black actors. Plenty of plot twists with good production values and great cliffhangers.

She was discovered in Germany by famed producer Max Reinhardt who signed her to be the understudy for Marlene Dietrich in leading roles, launching a stage career in Germany and Austria. Her success was instantaneous, and she was given a contract by the British International Film Company.

African explorer Jim Franklin is hired by eccentric millionaire, Amos P. Stitch, to capture animals for his private Westchester estate zoo. Stitch, who is perpetual drunk, provides much of the comic relief. He also wants to know if elephants in the wild are afraid of mice. Their expedition is secretly observed by The White Goddess, a white jungle girl, aka The Savage Girl. Having grown up with the animals, she warns the animals of the dangers of being captured. She, of course, releases the animals they do capture. The expedition eventually catches her by luring her with a shiny hand mirror. Naturally, complications ensue.
