In the heart of the African wilderness, two rival teams of scientists embark on a perilous quest to uncover a mysterious formula, sparking a thrilling adventure filled with danger and discovery.

Three doctors, Trevor, Bracken, and Phillips, embark on a mission to Africa to find a cure for infantile paralysis, accompanied by Trevor's wife and son Jan. Upon discovering the formula, Trevor's colleagues conspire to steal it, leading him to hide half the formula on his son's wrist.

Fifteen years later, Bracken and Phillips return, searching for Jan, now a young man, who has been raised by the jungle animals.
