From the same studio that gave us "The Lost Continent" (1951) comes this obscure sci-fi adventure in the same vein, with Cesar Romero again cast as the leader of an expedition in search of prehistoric creatures.

The exotic beauty of co-star Sulochana replaces the exotic beauty of Acquanetta. Also starring Rod Cameron and Marie Windsor (as a princess).

In this story the adventurers head for India instead of a jungle-topped plateau, and they're looking for mastodons instead of dinosaurs. The biggest difference between "The Lost Continent" and "The Jungle" is that the former used in-door sets and unskilled animation, while the latter features a few East Indian locations and real elephants with applied hair to regress their evolutionary look a few hundred thousand years.

The trick isn't entirely effective, but the effort should be appreciated. Despite it's low budget, it's a lively yarn with a brisk pace provided by William Berke's direction and Carroll Young's script.

This rousing trailer promotes the movie well, but for some reason it doesn't show (or even mention) the mastodons. I guess they don't look good enough to be considered an effective selling points.
