synopsis
Bill Phillips, his wife, Tom Guardia and a group of adventurous land developers from the Pan American Highway Commission make their way through the unfriendly jungles of Central Panama (where white men not welcome.) Bill tries to gain the trust of the dangerous Cuna tribe, so he and Eve live amongst the natives and participate in their ritual ceremonies and drink jungle moonshine. Meanwhile Guardia and the others confront a hostile tribe of headhunting jungle women, are savagely tortured and sacrificed (this footage was added to the documentary style travelogue to liven things up a bit.) Needless to say, the Highway Commission finds an alternate route through the defiant jungle.
