It's been 15 years now that Isabel's (Maria Perschy) husband
crashlanded in the African jungle, and a bag full of diamonds and his
daughter with him. Now Isabel is sure that her husband and the diamonds
are lost, but she's also sure that her daughter has survived and has now
become legendary white junglegirl Kilma (Eva Miller), so she sends her
brother Johan (Paul Naschy) along with documentary filmmaker Albert and
his team to the jungle to try and locate her. (Need I say Isabel is
totally right on that account?) Of course, Isabel has sent her little
team to the jungle not one moment too soon, because a trio of cutthroats
have already managed to locate her, and they are of course after the
diamonds. But Kilma's mighty handy with the whiplash ... Somehow, Albert
manages to win Kilma's trust and does his best to try and convince her to
return to civilisation and her mother with him - but Johan has ulterior
motives, he wants to get rid of Kilma to eventually inherit his brother's
fortune, so he hooks up with the bad guys and lures her into a trap.
Albert on the other hand has long fallen in love with Kilma, so he will
stop at nothing to save her - which he does in a finale in which Johan
redeems himself by keeping the leader of the baddies from killing Kilma on
the spot, and yet Johan and the head baddie both are doomed to die in
quicksand, a fate almost shared by Kilma, until Albert shows up to save
the day ... Low budget junglegirl flick that, apart from the
junglegirl in question carrying a whiplash, has little to distinguish
itself from other similar films - and yet I somehow rather enjoyed it.
True, the lack of budget shows, the acting isn't too great,the directorial
effort is uninspired, the script is overly clichéed, and the film is not
half as erotic as other films of similar ilk (there's no nudity involved
here) - but then maybe I'm just a sucker for junglegirl flicks to begin
with ...
