Thoren Hardy Krüger is a German expedition member who is attacked and captured by the Botos in Africa. He narrowly survives when a long-haired, topless wild woman persuades the tribe to spare him. This encounter fuels a growing fixation, and he enlists Kersten and Keller to help capture the mysterious woman.
Back in Germany, Theo Amelongen [Rudolf Forster] is a shipping magnate who, along with his nephew Viktor [Reggie Nalder], reads about the wild woman’s discovery, and Theo suspects she could be his long-lost granddaughter Liane, who vanished eighteen years earlier when the family’s ship sank.
Theo sails to Africa, and Thoren escorts Liane and Dr. Jacqueline Goddard [Irène Galter] to the Amelongen household.
Liane’s tribesman friend Tanga sneaks onto the ship with Liane’s pet lion, Simba.
