A kidnapped actress, a ransom mission, and a cannibal cult converge on a remote tropical island.
The story
Aspiring actress Laura Crawford is kidnapped by her manager, Jane, and three thugs while preparations are underway for Laura’s new film. They take her to a remote, jungle-covered tropical island and demand a large ransom from the studio owner. The island proves especially dangerous: its cannibals regularly sacrifice women to a godlike monster. The studio boss hires Vietnam veteran Peter Weston to lead a rescue mission, accompanied by Jack, a helicopter pilot. When the ransom handoff erupts into a shootout and Jack is wounded, Laura escapes into the jungle, where the search for her grows increasingly perilous.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
The aspiring actress Laura Crawford falls victim to a devilish scheme devised by her manager, Jane. Together with three thugs, Jane kidnaps the actress while preparations are underway for her new film. They then take the starlet to a jungle-covered tropical island, far from civilization, to extort a hefty ransom from the studio owner. Unfortunately, the kidnappers choose an island where cannibals regularly sacrifice women to a godlike monster with enormous eyes. Meanwhile, the studio boss prepares a rescue mission and hires Vietnam veteran Peter Weston, who travels to the remote island with his companion Jack, a helicopter pilot. The ransom handoff turns into a wild shootout, during which Jack is wounded. Laura uses the confusion to flee into the jungle. After some time, she falls into the hands of the cannibals. As the search for Laura continues, her kidnappers are picked off one by one. In the meantime, Peter and Jack manage to take over a small yacht belonging to the kidnappers, which is anchored off the beach. Peter, a seasoned fighter, then sets off to search for Laura again, while the injured Jack stays by the boat with an unknown accomplice. A little later, he is killed by the “cannibal god.” Peter eventually finds Laura held captive by the primitive tribe. At the end of the film, Peter faces the evil cannibal god in a duel and defeats it. With the monster dead, the islanders break free of their hated cult. In the final scene, a visibly relaxed Peter returns to civilization with the half-naked Laura and the ransom money.
