The Lost Volcano is a 1950 American adventure film. It was the third in the 12-film Bomba, the Jungle Boy series, based on the Bomba series of juvenile adventure books.

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.

Reception[edit]

"The Production is a small boy's paradise", said the Los Angeles Times adding that "Tarzan now has a formidable rival in Bomba."[1]
