Ayant fui la civilisation, le Dr John Meredith a élevé sa fille Nyoka dans une tribu indigène vivant dans la région des marais inexplorés de Simbula. Récemment sorti de prison et aidé de son complice Slick Latimer, son frère jumeau Bradley Meredith le fait assassiner et prend sa place pour s’approprier les diamants cachés dans le temple perdu de Nakros.

Dr. John Meredith has been driven from civilization by the criminal activities of his twin brother Bradley Meredith. With his infant daughter, he settles in the African jungle, where his ability to cure the native ills has resulted in his virtual control of the Masamba tribes, who possess vast diamond mines coveted by a gang of crooks.
