The Jungle Princess
The Jungle Princess is a 1936 American adventure film directed by Wilhelm Thiele starring Dorothy Lamour and Ray Milland.
Plot
A man named Christopher Powell is in a big game hunting camp in Malaya with his fiancée Ava and her father Colonel Lane, capturing wild animals. While out hunting he is attacked by a tiger, and Melan, his native guide, runs away, leaving Powell for dead. But the tiger, Limau, is the pet of Ulah, a young woman who grew up by herself in the jungle. She and Limau were once orphaned by each other's parents. She rescues Chris and takes him back to her cave, where she nurses him to health and falls in love with him. When he eventually returns to camp, she follows. Ava is jealous, and the natives see Ulah or Limau as demons; all of which leads to a lot of trouble.
