What happens
Jungle Jim is a 1948 American adventure film directed by William Berke and starring Johnny Weissmuller. It is based on Alex Raymond's Jungle Jim comic strip and was distributed by Columbia Pictures. It is the first picture in the Jungle Jim series that consists of 13 films originally released between 1948 and 1954. In 1954, Columbia turned over its Jungle Jim rights to its television subsidiary, and in the last three films on Weismuller's contract, he portrays "Johnny Weissmuller", an idealized version of himself instead of Jungle Jim. Jungle Man-Eaters (1954) is the last entry in the series, after which Weissmuller starred in the Jungle Jim TV series. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
