Featured review
**SPOILERS*** Spending most of her adult life in the African jungles American missionary Dr. Jackson not only helped hundred of natives to see the light and better their and their friends and families lives but also helped herself to a fortune of some $20,000.00 in gold nuggets. that she found, with divine guidance, all around her mission grounds. Dr. Jackson also picked up in the wilds of Africa and secretly brought back home to America a jungle ape-man that she called Ingeena.
Back in the states Dr. Jackson decides to make out her will and leaves everything that she owns, her house as well as her stash of gold, to sweet and pretty Eleanor who just got married at the local church to Robert Lindsey where Dr. Jackson was one of the invited guests. It turns out that Dr. Jackson knew both of Eleanor's parents who were killed in a tornado when she was only 10 months old and has been looking after Eleanor, behind the scenes, all that time. It's not fully explained in the movie but you get the impression that Dr. Jackson was in love or even had an affair with Eleanor's father before he married another woman her mother.
After having her lawyer Mr. Bradshaw make out her will Dr. Johnson goes down to her laboratory and secret basement, where she keeps Ingeena hidden from the public. After mixing some chemicals she becomes very excited yelling that she just discovered the greatest secret in the history of mankind. As she runs upstairs to check out what composite of the formula she just discovered is Ingeena gulps it down, thinking that it's some kind of new and exotic jungle fruit drink, and then suddenly goes bananas breaking out of the basement and attacking and killing Dr. Johnson.
The movie "Son of Ingagi" is an all-black comedy horror movie even though one of it's major stars, Laura Bowman as Dr.Jackson, can easily pass for white. The Lindseys, who had everything to gain by Dr. Jackson death, are suspected in not only her murder but later in the deaths of both Dr. Johnson's scheming and criminal brother Zino as well as her lawyer Bradshaw. Whom both the wild and crazy jungle ape-man Ingeena murdered.
Robert & Eleanor moving into Dr. Johnson's home have no idea that Ingeena is roaming around and raiding the ice-box and stuffing himself with baloney and salami sandwiches while no one was looking. Having detective Nelson put on the case he always screws things up by sleeping on the job and trying to help himself to a free meal which the clever Ingeena always beats him to.
Ingeena for his part starts to take a strong liking for Eleanor whom he then kidnaps and brings down to his secret hideout, the Lindsey's basement, to have a good time with. Being so enchanted with Eleanor's beauty the absent-minded Ape-man doesn't realize that he knocks over a gas lamp setting the basement and entire house on fire,
Robert looking for Eleanor and noticing that there's smoke coming out from behind the wall of his bedroom goes together with the just awakened and totally bewildered Det. Nelson to the basement. After finding and slugging it out with Ingeena Robert rescues Eleanor and makes it out of the house and right into the arms of the police, lead by Det. Nelson's boss Chief Graves. It turns out that the apparently burned to death hero Det Nelson staggers out of the bushes with two sacks full of gold coins and nuggets that Dr. Johnson had hidden in her house. Robert & Eleanor thinking that they lost everything that the had in the world are now, with the gold belonging to them because of Dr. Jackson's last will and testament, rich and can start a new life and finally put the unpleasant and deadly episode that they had with ape-man Ingeena behind them.
