They went all the way to Cam- bodia, way over in Indo-China to get this weird and wild assortment of savage jungle fora, fauna and animalia, and the result is start- ling, and awe-inspiring.
Against the background of Ang- kor-Thom and Angkor-Vat, mag- nificent ruins of a civilization that existed a thousand years ago, a "dramatic cyclorama of exciting ep. isodes is unreeled; men and wom- en battling wild animals; savage beasts battling each other; a" sa- fart of women struggling against ancient superstitions; and the age- old superstition of ape-worship.
