In the skies over Africa, a passenger plane is hijacked by a gangster, but runs out of fuel and crashes in unexplored territory. Burke, the pilot, becomes the leader of the now-marooned group, which includes the gangster, a ruthless financier, a spoiled heiress who is willing to commit murder to get what she wants, and a blind woman. Crocodiles, quicksand, storms, a killer gorilla -- all of nature conspires to make their Dark Continent stay a short one. When they encounter a mysterious white-bearded hermit, he teaches them how to cope, and even find peace, in the savage wilderness.
In the suspense tradition of the film classic Five Came Back, this jungle melodrama shows human beasts getting a chance to change their spots, as acted by the blue-ribbon B-movie cast of Rory Calhoun, a pre-Red Ryder Jim Bannon and former major studio leading ladies Audrey Long and Virginia Grey.
