Samoa Regina della Jungla (Samoa, Queen of the Jungle)

---

Mr. Loman, Mr. Wang is waiting.

Thank you.

SAMOA, QUEEN OF THE JUNGLE

Mister Wang?

Your name, please?

Clint Loman.

Come, this way.

Welcome, we were expecting you.

Sirs, this is Clint Loman,

the chief of our expedition.

Hans Mller and Joe Stark,

two veterans of the jungle.

Doctor Schwarz. I hope

to never have need of him.

Professor Dawson, geologist

and diamond expert.

Nancy Wyler, his secretary.

Alain Duval and Pierre Moreau,

two men whom

you'll find very useful.

Have I heard of you?

It's possible.

Well, I think everything's clear.

However, it's best

to recap the situation.

Will you take a seat?

I beg you.

The boat will dock here,

on the Borneo coast, at Bandung.

You'll travel through the jungle

to the village of Sumiyaki,

where you will wait

for the boat which

will take you up the river Sarawac

to the falls.

Your guide will be Kama, a Malay.

He knows the river very well,

you'll find him useful.

Beyond the falls,

probably in this area,

should be found the

fabulous diamond deposits.

Of course,

you might not find anything.

The stories of large diamonds

we've heard from the natives

could be pure fantasy.

In that case,

I'd be the only loser.

I've already paid you

a tidy sum to participate

in this expedition.

If you find the diamonds,

half of the fortune

will be split between you,

and the other half will go

to poor Mr. Wang.

That should be reasonable.

Like always, Mr. Wang.

I've known you a long time,

and I trust you,

but this time, the job is tough.

Diamonds can easily corrupt

the most loyal men.

Once again, I think

I make myself clear.

Like always, Mr. Wang.

But my fears

are not justified.

I have the means to

find anyone,

wherever he might hide.

At your service, Mr. Wang.

All is ready, captain?

Yes, we can leave tomorrow.

Perfect.

This is captain Santor,

the boat commander who

will lead you

to the isle of Borneo.

You will leave tomorrow at dawn.

Gentlemen, good luck

until we meet again, I hope.

Ready to lower the sails!

Hurry!

Prepare to drop anchor!

Tie the ropes to the hull.

If all goes well, captain,

we will be back in 2 months.

The porters will accompany

you to the river.

Has someone alerted Kama, the Malay

who will take us to the falls?

Yes, he awaits you at Sumiyaki

with a motorboat

and all the necessary equipment.

Good luck.

Thank you, captain.

Let's go.

You think we'll find this

diamond mine?

All comes to those who wait.

Move ahead!

It's not for the diamonds

that I am here,

but for the spirit of adventure.

I hope I can be of some use.

I've never been in the jungle

but I know of the dangers.

Me, I've been.

Quite often. But I don't know

all its dangers.

Always watch your back.

Alcohol?

Yes, only medicinal.

Ahead!

There's the river.

I'm Kama.

I'll take you to the falls.

Let's go.

If anyone wants to turn back,

it's now or never.

Later, it will be too late.

Load the cargo.

Careful.

Careful, gently.

To starboard.

We mustn't run aground.

Gently now,

there isn't much depth.

Don't hit the propeller.

We have to stop,

it's getting dark.

Night falls quickly in the jungle.

Kill the engine. Dock.

Slightly to port.

Gently.

It looks tranquil.

We'll camp here.

Pitch the tents.

Kama... Monitor that side.

I'll keep watch here.

I'll come with you.

You should stay

with the others.

I'd rather stay near you.

I'd feel safer.

Don't move. We're in no

danger. They're fighting.

That's the law of the jungle.

It's always the strongest

who survive.

What happened?

What did they say?

Nothing.

They looked terrified.
