The tale is set in 1910, during a fictional revolution in Honduras.
Jim Corbett (Glenn Ford) was hired to ensure that a large sum of money came to the deposed political leader. Sylvia Sheppard (Ann Sheridan) and her wealthy husband Harry Sheppard (Zachary Scott) are unwilling hostages of Corbett, who is accompanied through the jungle by some criminals.
Sylvia, the unfaithful wife, eventually falls in love with Corbett. They encounter various dangers, including crocodiles, “tiger fish,” large snakes, biting ants, huge swarm of stinging insects, malaria, and armed insurgents.
