Eccentric millionaire Stitch (Harry C. Myers) decides to go to Africa one day in order to catch a few animals for his new zoo. Since the cab driver mentions he'd love to go to Africa himself, Stitch invites him along and they go across the jungle in that taxi. Rather unique, I'd say. Along with the experienced hunter Franklyn (Walter Byron), they find the adventure they are looking for and meet the white jungle goddess (Rochelle Hudson), only to be faced with treachery and dangerous natives etc. in a life-or-death struggle.
"The Savage Girl" may not be on the same production level as "Tarzan the Ape Man" which was shot in the same year and featured Maureen O'Sullivan in her first appearance as Jane. However, it is still good fun and an important early predecessor for many films about jungle women that followed. Rochelle Hudson doesn't only have killer looks, but also the acting abilities to express a lot of things without words, from curiosity to anger. Unfortunately, she has to scream for help a bit too often. In later movies of the genre, jungle goddesses obtained more power over animals and men so if you said they rule the jungle, it sounded more true than in this case.
