Blonde Savage (1947)

Diamond-mine owner Mark Harper (Douglass Dumbrille) hires pilot Steve Blake (Leif Erickson) and his pal Hoppy Owens (Frank Jenks) to search for a hidden jungle village whose natives have made trouble for his mine operations. They crash near the village and discover that Meelah (Gale Sherwood), a white girl brought up by the natives after Harper killed her parents for their property is the head of the village. Returning to the mine, Harper, already suspicious of what they may have learned and jealous of the attention his wife Connie (Veda Ann Borg), is paying to Steve, has them jailed while he leads an expedition against the village and Meelah.
