Queen of the Amazons

Summary: An H. Rider Haggard knock off
Review: Several small stories or scenarios stung together with old 1947 African native footage tossed in as filler. However on the safari there is a real mystery. And as always it is the last person you would suspect if it was a person.

Jean Preston (Patricia Morison) has traced her betrothed (since childhood) to Africa. She is accompanied by her potential father-in-law, his bug loving friend, and a person that considers himself a substitute should they fine the betrothed has met his demise.

Now they need a guide. You guessed it the guide (Robert Lowery) thinks women have no place there. She must convince him with her skills. Mean time it looks like the betrothed was on a mission to find ivory poachers when he disappeared. And the new guide must pick up the trail. Naturally they will need a cook and a bunch or natives. Then there are the stories of a white queen (Amira Moustafa) who captures betroths and bumps off intruders.

So will they be able to pass by locust plagues, man-eating lions, a mysterious curse, and those lonely, long sultry African nights alone in the bush?
