In the territory north of Mount Kenya, a mysterious killer terrorizes the natives—until the arrival of Professor Pete Woods, who reveals he's actually a police officer hunting a dangerous criminal. When Sheena and Bob Reynolds attempt to capture the murderer Chief M'Rugu at a waterhole, they fall into his trap and find themselves imprisoned in a pit with no way out. With danger closing in and time running short, Sheena must rely on her animal allies to mount a desperate rescue before M'Rugu can strike again.

Uncle Otto

Uncle Otto stumbles into an archaeological puzzle when a bone becomes the center of a domestic dispute in this 1940 humor tale. What starts as a simple matter of digging up the past quickly turns into something far more complicated for the cantankerous old fellow. It's a lighthearted romp that proves even the smallest artifact can cause the biggest headaches.
