"If anyone asks after me, you never saw me." Whilst working in an undefined Asian country, an English photographer (Ivan Rassimov) kills a man in a bar fight and retreats into the jungle to photograph the wildlife. There he is captured by a tribe who use him as a slave, but he catches the eye of the chief's daughter, a fact that keeps him alive, and eventually he marries her, forgetting all ideas of escaping.
The film that supposedly kicked off the Italian cannibal genre, is in reality a mildly diverting drama, with a bit of animal cruelty thrown in.
