With his infant daughter, he has settled in the African jungle and in the ensuing twenty years, because of his ability to cure the native ills, has assumed virtual control of the Masamba tribes.

The tribes possess vast diamond mines which are coveted by a criminal element which is using Shamba (Prank Lackteen), witch doctor jealous of Dr. Meredith's control over the tribe, as a tool to further their nefarious interests. They lure Dr. Meredith away from the jungle and he is murdered by Slick Latimer (Gerald Mohr).

To secure the sacred amulet which is believed by the natives to be the secret of Dr. Meredith's power. Shamba attempts to kill Nyoka (Frances Gifford), Meredith’s daughter. Jack Stanton (Tom Neal), Latimer's former companion, rescues Nyoka and Assists her in her efforts to recover the amulet, which is valuable because it contains the secret of the entry to the Caves of Nakros, where the diamonds are kept.

Latimer works with Shamba and with Dr. Meredith's twin brother, who poses as the former so successfully that even his own daughter fails to realize the deception.

Through fifteen thrill-packed episodes Nyoka, Stanton and Curly Rogers (Eddie Acuff) face dangerous adventures. Finally, the jungle wreaks its vengeance, the criminals come to violent ends and Stanton and Nyoka assure the natives that the diamonds will be used for their good.
