action
In order to search for Harry, a missing aviator comrade, the two friends Jim and Tom, both pilots of an internationally operating oil company, undertake a rescue operation accompanied by adventurous events, which takes them into the Brazilian jungle. Harry's last sign of life comes from the Rio Beni, where Jim and Tom take off with their seaplane. Probably Harry had to make an emergency landing there. A mysterious map, a copy of a Spanish document from the 16th century, also refers to a temple and a golden goddess statue.
In the Amazon region, the two Europeans have to fight with villains led by the river boatman Jeff, who are themselves in search of the gold treasure, and fight off javelins, blowpipes, deadly traps and poisonous arrows such as snakes. A “danger” of a completely different kind awaits Jim, whom a hydrogen-blonde siren named Aloa, who is venerated as a “white goddess” (but is actually just the daughter of a German doctor who grew up in the jungle), flirts hard. One day the entire squad, which some locals and the shabby adventurer Bernard have joined, is ambushed: headhunters capture Aloa, a shrunken head dangling in front of her insinuates that her fate seems to be sealed. The men undertake a rescue operation. And by the way, Harry is also found.
