Lady Evelyn Bagley finances an expedition into the African jungles in search of her long lost son. The expedition is led by Bill Boosey, a hunter and guide, and includes among their number Professor Tinkle who is looking for the near-mythical Oozalum bird. Things soon start to go wrong - Lady Evelyn's son, now a Tarzan-like ape-man, abducts a young woman, a gorilla wreaks havoc in the camp and the men get their hopes up when they are captured by a tribe of beautiful women from the lost world of Aphrodisia!
