Jungle Doctor Ramar (Jon Hall) & his companion professor Ogden (Ray
Montgomery) learn of the evil cult of Kaa, which regularly feeds people to
crocodiles should they - or their family - not be able to pay ransom. But why
are they so feared all over India ? Because the followers of the Kaa-cult
have the strength of 5 men. So while Ramar's friend, the Maharajah (Edgar
Barrier) has his subjects go on a massive crocodile hunt (which allows the
insertion of massive stock footage), Ramar decides to discredit the followers
of Kaa by capturing one of them ... which is (naturally) not quite as easy as
it may sound, & in the end Ogden ends up being a prisoner of Kaa. But by
now Ramar has figured out that all the cult's followers must be on some drug
that temporarily gives them superhuman strength ... so when he would succeed to
spoil their drug ... Soon, for the life of Ogden, Ramar challenges the
highpriest of Kaa to a hand-on-hand duel ... but sees to it that his servant
Zahir (Victor Millian) puts something into the highpriest's bucket containing
his drug ... & so, when the highpriest feels a little weak during the fight
& takes a sip of his drug, he ultimately seals his fate, & the fate of
the cult ... because of course Ramar wins their fight & the cult loses face
with all those who feared it, & ultimately the cult's followers will die
from the drug's after effects, as Ramar explains. One of the duller
episodes of Ramar of the Jungle, as too much sloppily pasted in
footage of natives going crocodile hunting slows down the proceedings too much
to stay interesting ... especially since this footage does not make too much
sense in the context of the storyline (it rather seems that the cult of Kaa has
become a crocodile cult only because crocodile hunting footage was
available).
