A nasty Arab prince is in Africa, looking to retrieve "The Golden Idol" of Watusi. In flashback, we see Bomba (Johnny Sheffield) took the small statue from dastardly Paul Guilfoyle (as Ali Ben Mamoud), who stole it statue from the Watusi people. The "Bomba" film series was nearing its end with this substandard episode. The edited-in segments involving lions look especially cheap, but the entire production is amateurish. There are only a few highlights, if you're inclined to watch; they are shot at the swimming hole and involve some underwater photography. The pretty guest female figure, blonde Anne Kimbell (as Karen Marsh), goes for a swim with Bomba. She wears a modest, one-piece black bathing suit. Bomba wears his immodest loincloth and excels in a solo swim near the end, when he shows where "The Golden Idol" is hidden.
