El tesoro de la diosa blanca (1983)

Africa, a jungle in the heart of the Dark Continent. An expedition searching for treasure is captured by a wild tribe. The furious natives want to kill the intruders, especially expedition leader Payton. The situation seems hopeless when, all of a sudden, a half-naked white girl named Liana appears and saves the adventurer’s life. The treasure hunters then return to civilization. Back home, Payton and his shady friend and colleague Pereira try to uncover the mysterious beauty’s origins. Bedridden Lady de Winter suspects that the girl, who is about eighteen, may be her long-lost daughter, who—as well as the child’s father—has been missing since a plane crash. The terminally ill aristocrat therefore finances an expedition to find her presumed daughter, which her greedy relatives Matthew and Lita are also supposed to join. Matthew, one of Liana’s cousins, has other plans, however, along with his younger wife. He wants to prevent Liana, the rightful heir to the family fortune, from returning home and, if necessary, murder her. Rofo, a local guide, joins the expedition team of Pereira, Payton, Matthew, and Lita. Before long, disputes over who is in command complicate the official mission. It also becomes clear that some members of the expedition are more interested in the gemstones believed to be in the tribal territory than in the “white goddess.” When the group finally reaches the remote tribal territory, one of the expedition members cold-bloodedly shoots a native. From then on, the intruders are hunted down and killed off by the tribe’s priestess. At the end of the film, the remaining member of the expedition, Pereira, is murdered, even though he has by then become Liana’s lover. Dan, Liana’s father and the tribe’s chief, kills the outsider, believing he must protect his people; this is received with approval. The respected chief and the white goddess remain in the wilderness as members of the tribe.
