Jungle Jim - Pygmy Island

Marauding elephants, hungry crocodiles, and a gorilla-gone-ape are among the hazards when Jungle Jim tries to save a local company from falling into the hands of enemy agents. The "pygmies" of the film's title are actually white midgets, who are ruled by Barty, one of Hollywood's favorite little people.

PYGMY ISLAND was entry number five in Columbia's "Jungle Jim" series. Johnny Weissmuller is back as Jungle Jim, who this time around leads a search for missing WAC officer Ann Kingsley (Ann Savage). He'd better hurry; enemy agents are also on the trail of the heroine, who became lost while searching for material vital to the U.S. defense program. Somewhere in the foliage is a tribe of white pygmies (!), who cast their lot with Jungle Jim against the bad guys. Highlights in PYGMY ISLAND include a stampeding elephant herd and a couple of fierce jungle battles pitting our hero against a crocodile and a gorilla.
