Similar
to (but far better than) Jess Franco's WHITE
CANNIBAL QUEEN, here's the story of a young white girl kidnapped
by a tribe of cannibals. It all starts with a battle between an angry
tribe of savages and a team of explorers. Apparently the attack was not
unprovoked as one of the hunters had stolen a sacred jar full of gems
from the natives. Everyone in the expedition is killed and devoured but
the cannibals take a baby girl back to their village. Many years later,
a female explorer named Lola gets her hands on a map and a diary detailing
the location of a valuable treasure. She puts together a team of people
for a jungle safari but some thugs overhear the plan and infiltrate the
group. This leads to lots of misadventure and double-crossing until everyone
arrives in the tribal village where they discover the white girl, now
a young lady named Mazizi, and her cannibals.
Ratno Timoer
(born Ahmad Suratno in East Java, Indonesia) was a popular actor before
turning to directing in 1974. He made a handful of martial-arts supernatural
films, mostly with Barry Prima (i.e., Devil's Sword and
Return of the Ninja), before embarking on this project. It would
be in last venture as he suffered from acute arthritis and retired after
this picture. Mr Ratno Timoer died from a stroke in December 2002 at age
60.
