Transcript
African drums are talking, on and on into the night boom the drums. Speaking of voodoo, witchcraft, mystery and menace. Their rhythmic beat breaks through walls of silence to bring you a story of Africa, that land where anything can happen.
Professor Antoine Edwards, while in Africa searching for a lost race, comes into possession of a mummified head that talks. It's language according to the professor is one that he with another man has been studying for many years and which he attributes to the lost Atlanteans.
This talking head has been directing their travels, but it led them into a dangerous situation with a tribe of cannibals dominated by an unknown white man. Through the efforts of an guru, a huge musai prince, they escape and press on to climb a circular range of mountains.
reaching the top they find themselves standing on the edge of what appears to be a gigantic extinct volcano. There is an earthquake and the slab of rock on which their standing starts to slide down into the crater with the professor, Lorna, Jack and then Guru holding on for dear life.
Wanna, Wanna, wake Wanna, devil, devil home. Oh, what is it, Uncle, Guru, leave me in peace. Gonna wake, now, oh, no, no, no, no, no, kill them all, leave me in peace, I just shut up, shut up.
