Congotanga, West Africa, has no extradition laws; the government is controlled by foreign gangsters, headed by Carl Rittner ( Tonio Selwart). The latest plane from Europe carries Louise Whitman ( Virginia Mayo), (fleeing a French murder charge), and Mannering ( Raymond Bailey), who pays resident hit man O'Connell ( Michael Pate) to kill her. Through a chain of circumstances Louise, O'Connell, and heroic surveyor David Carr ( George Nader) end up alone in the jungle on Carr's mission to determine the true border of Congotanga... in which Rittner is keenly interested.
