Library synopsis: [En] The film opens in Kenya where three men carry out a £ 150,00 bank raid. One of the gang, Albert, decides, later that there is only enoughmoney for himself and he promptly shoots the pther two. But one of the men, called Burt, is not dead, and he avows vengeance, devoting his life to the search for Albert. He joins a safari and meets and falls in love with a jungle queen called Eva, who was lost in the jungle as a baby and brought up by gorillas. For some unknown reason, the gorillas have become hostile and will not obey her commands anymore. Burt stumbles across a cave, and inside finds Albert who has become a mad scientist. With the money from the bank raid, Albert has bought all sorts of weird and wonderful equipment with which he is able to send out an electronic signal, making the gorillas obey his every command. He tells Bert that when he has finished his experiments he will be able to control man in the same way and then he will be able to rule the world. Written by Eric Marks
