Movie description:
A young boy finds himself orphaned in the jungle after the murder of his parents. Soon, an ape adopts him and raises the child as its own. As the time passed by, our young hero begins realizing he is somehow different from his gorilla family and sets off on a quest where he eventually will live a lot of adventures.
An African safari is attacked by savage natives and the sole survivor is an infant who is adopted and raised by gorillas. As he is growing up, his only human friend is a native cannibal boy he happens to meet in a chance encounter. He grows to be a young adult, discovers white civilization, and meets a beautiful white girl who becomes his mate. They have a son who becomes the second jungle boy in the movie, and the three of them prevail through perilous adventures.
Well-mounted jungle tale is basically the »Tarzan« story, but that name is never mentioned, thus avoiding lawsuits. What makes this one unusual is the fact that the first half of the film shows the titular character as an infant adopted by the apes (not gorillas) and as a boy growing up as a member of the ape tribe and meeting his first human, a cannibal boy out on a solo lion hunt to avenge the death of his father. As he grows up he becomes a local legend, the White Ape. And when Europeans get wind of it, an expedition is mounted to find this »missing link«.
