Law of the Jungle is a 1942 American adventure film directed by Jean Yarbrough.

Synopsis

An American singer, Nona Brooks, is stranded at a hotel in a British West African colony (implicitly from dialogue, Sierra Leone)[1] because her passport is missing. It turns out agents of Nazi Germany, in collaboration with corrupt/sleazy hotel owner Simmons, have stolen her papers, then try to use her for their nefarious schemes.

Brooks flees and encounters American paleontologist Larry Mason in the jungle. He and his assistant Jefferson Jones give her shelter, then fend off unfriendly natives while Simmons is murdered by the villainous German agents. All looks hopeless until the tribal chief turns out to be a reasonable, Oxford-educated man who helps Larry and Nona out of their jam.
