Impressively idiotic no-budget adventure tale made partly from heaps of reused footage from the 1927 silent serial, Perils of the Jungle. The funny thing is that director H.L. Fraser (who was a writer on the old serial) passes off scenes from the earlier film as contemporary here, to brain-damaged effect. The actors from 1927 do some great swashbuckling as they battle jungle natives, run from lions and swing from vines. Meanwhile, in the new scenes all that poor Ray Corrigan can do is stand on the sidelines and watch the action, “spellbound” or “glued to spot” out of fascination (as he says in his narration), not lifting a finger to help his friends and looking like the biggest wimp of 1945. You know how bad that re-edited version of Godzilla with Raymond Burr is? This is worse. You’ve gotta see it. The first laugh is in the opening credits where the actors are simply listed as “Ray Corrigan – Lorraine Miller – and An ALL-STAR Cast“.
