By David the Bruce June 7, 2020
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.
