What happens

Jungle Moon Men is a 1955 American adventure film, the fifteenth film in a series of jungle-based adventures from Columbia Pictures starring Johnny Weissmuller, the first thirteen of which feature the comic strip character Jungle Jim. It is the second of three films featuring Weismuller as an idealized version of himself, clearly based on the Jungle Jim character. The film was directed by Charles S. Gould and written by Dwight Babcock and Jo Pagano. The film centres on jungle roamer Johnny Weissmuller and his team attempting to rescue an acquaintance in the jungle of Baku, which is inhabited by "moon men" worshipping an apparent Moon Goddess. Filming took place in May 1954 in California. It was theatrically released in the United States in April 1955. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
