Africa 1959. A Dutch millionaire, accompanied by his daughter, travels in his private aircraft with a cargo of diamonds. Trying to prevent a kidnapping attempt, the kidnapper shoots the pilot, and the aircraft makes a crash landing in the impenetrable jungle. Fifteen years later, the legend of Kilma, the Jungle Goddess, spreads from the native tribes to the ears of Isabel, who decides to search for Laura, her missing child lost in the plane crash. She hires a television reporter and explorer, Albert, to do the research for her, accompanied by Johan, Laura's uncle. However, three poachers also learn of Kilma, by a native who had stolen a big diamond out of her - and they haste to find her, and to find more diamonds. Albert finds Kilma first, who is actually Laura, but he is reluctant to force her to abandon her natural wild companions - the jungle animals she has grown with.
