Because he's got such a big heart, Sheena's (Irish McCalla) friend Bob
Rayburn (Chris Drake) agrees to take Nugu (John Wilson), a young native
who just tried to rob and kill him, back to his tribe, accepts lame Biago
(John Clytus) as his guide, and promises to accompany impoverished
scientist Doc Becker (Frederick Becker), who's looking for some rare
wonderdrug only to be found at some particularly savage natives.
Ultimately though, Bob's generosity pays off when he and his gang have
been captured by Nugu's father (Virgil Richardson) and are about to be
killed, but Nugu saves them, basically because Doc Becker has once saved
his life ... One of the weaker episodes of the rather mediocre Sheena-series,
an episode that's way too obvious in carrying its pro-generosity message,
to a point where no plottwist comes as a surprise anymore while the story
is much too constructed to convince in the slightest.
