The Lost Volcano


The Lost Volcano is a 1950 American adventure film. It is the third in the 12-film Bomba, [the Jungle Boy] series, based on the Bomba series of juvenile adventure books.

Plot

The parents of a young boy named David Gordon think that Bomba is just David's imaginary friend. David is kidnapped by a pair of crooked jungle guides who are searching for a lost city's treasure. Bomba rescues David, battles a crocodile and, with the help of an erupting volcano and a python, defeats the villains.

Cast

The Los Angeles Times wrote: "Every small boy who sees this film will wish he were in David's shoes, for the production is a small boy's adventure paradise, as, along with jungle man Bomba, the lad swings from tree to tree. Pretty soon, if this business keeps up, small boys going through forests will he looking up in the trees for ape men like those heroes. Indeed, Tarzan now has a formidable rival in Bomba."
