Plot

[edit]

The parents of a young boy named David Gordon (Tommy Ivo) think Bomba (Johnny Sheffield) is just an imaginary friend of their son's. Luckily, they learn differently after the boy is kidnapped by a pair of crooked jungle guides who are searching for a lost city's treasure. Bomba rescues the boy, battles a croc, and with the help of an erupting volcano and a python, finishes off the bad guys.
