The story

Jeremy Taylor is traveling through the Amazon rivers along with his wife and daughter when his boat gets attacked by some Indigenous cannibals who eat his wife Elisabeth and take Jeremy prisoner. The little girl Léna manages to hide inside the boat, even though the cannibal witch doctor and his son Yakeké find her fainted on the side of a river and carry her to the village, where she gets worshipped as the "white goddess." After having suffered an arm amputation, Jeremy flees from the cannibal tribe and, rescued, manages to return to New York. His recovery, both physical and psychological, is still slow.
