The movie begins in India and quickly switches to Africa. A lady is looking for her fiancé who disappeared when going on safari. This is the thin plot that was created to justify the use of a bazillion feet of stock footage of African wildlife--some of which was grainy and in slow motion! In many ways, it felt and looked a lot like a second-rate Tarzan picture--that is until a bunch of White women appeared in the heart of Africa! These "Amazon women" were naturally luscious babes--complete with 1940s style perms!! I found this really easy to believe...and if you do as well, I have some oceanfront land to sell you in Iowa.
At one point in the film before they luckily stumble upon the Amazons, a member of the search party says to another something like "I think I know who the guilty party is....I'll tell you in the morning". To me and those knowledgeable in B-movies, this means "I will be killed in the next scene...it's been nice knowing you"!! And, surprise, surprise, the guy is worm food in the very next scene! Well, just after this, the Amazon queen sends word to the party that she'd like to meet them--at which point she tells them that she is in love with the missing fiancé--and he wants to stay there with her. This is fortuitous, as his fiancée who led the expedition had already shown signs of falling for their guide. Once again, what amazing luck. And, when a traitor in their midst shows himself to be the murderer and is about to have the White men killed, luck of luck, the men manage to fight back and escape! Wow, what wonderful luck....once again!! Overall, it's a typical low-budget African adventure movie--about what you'd expect. A semi-engaging plot, occasionally competent acting, silly dialog, women standing by helplessly as the men fight (this was even true of the "Amazons" much of the time--what wimpy Amazons!) and lots of cheap stock footage.
By the way, in a sad note, this bevy of White ladies have a very strong 1940s mentality about race, as the leader explains that they have talked about inviting in White men to join them--presumably because the Amazons are against interracial relations. However, it sure seems that when you live in the middle of nowhere in Africa, you can't be that choosy.
