Crime fighter (Doc) Clark Savage, Jr. (Ron Ely), a man of superhuman strength and protean genius, is engaged in a series of experiments at his Arctic laboratory retreat.
Suddenly, Doc receives telepathic thought from his circle of associates in New York, "The Amazing Five," the five greatest brains ever assembled in one group, telling him something is wrong. At once he heads for America and his penthouse.
Doc
joins his associates, Ham (Darrell Zwerling), the world's smartest
laywer,
Monk (Michael Miller), the greatest living chemist, Long Tom (Paul
Gleason),
the greatest electrical wizard, Renny (William Lucking), the finest
engineer,
and Johnny (Eldon Quick), the world's greatest expert on archeology and
geology.
They are waiting for Doc with some very sad news, that Doc's father has died from a rare tropical disease in the small South American country of Hidalgo. Doc suspects, however, that there has been foul play connected with his dad's death.
The
group departs for Hidalgo in Doc's plane, unaware that Doc's deadly
enemy,
evil Captain Seas (Paul Wexler), the man behind the dasterdly plot, is
docked in the nearby Hidalgo Harbor aboard his yacht with a group of
stunning
women, such as Karen (Robyn Hilton), Adrianna (Janice Heiden) and
surrounded
by a collection of some of the world's most evil criminals.
Upon learning that a strange and distant lost tribe willed Savage Senior some mysterious land, Doc asks to look at the records in the land office of orderly Don Rubio Gorro (Bob Corso). Unfortunately, only now is it discovered that the papers are missing. At this point a strange series of attempts on the lives of Doc and his friends ensue, but all are thwarted.
Doc
then gets unexpected help from Gorro's incredibly beautiful assistant,
Monja (Pamela Hensley). As she grew up near the site of the lost tribe,
Monja offers to lead Doc and his friends to it. They begin their
dangerous
trek through the wild jungle.
As they approach the area of his father's claim, Doc separates from the group to check the setup on his own. He discovers it is the site of a fabulous, eternally bubbling gold mine; the local tribe had given his father land worth billions! He finds that Captain Seas -intent on stealing the mine- has been operating here for some time- and is using slavery to force the tribe to gather the gold for him.
Monja
and The Amazing Five are captured by Captain Seas' men and made
prisoners
in a dank cave. Captain Seas tries to kill them all using the green
death
virus he had utilized to kill Doc's father.
Luckily, Doc suddenly appears and overpowers the Captain, forcing him to release his friends, who are treated with a special antidote which saves their lives.
Meanwhile, the Captain's men attempt to escape with a fortune in gold. But wait a minute! Suddenly, an upheaval in the earth, caused by exploding dynamite, triggers the pool of bubbling gold to erupt, covering every one of the villains (except Captain Seas) with a shower of molten metal, and turning them into dead golden statues.
Tribal
Chief Chaac, grateful that his village has been freed, gives the gold
land
to Doc, who intends to use it in his never-ending battle against evil
malefactors.
He returns to New York to his "Rehabilitation Center" with Captain Seas
and performs a special kind of acupuncture brain surgery on the
villain,
turning Seas into a kindly Salvation Army band leader. This is Doc's
method
of dealing with the criminals he captures, correcting their criminal
tendencies
by brain surgery.
Just as Doc closes the book on this bizarre
case, he receives another urgent call for help in battling a new band
of
villains- and he roars off into the sunset in his quest to make the
world
a just and good place in which to live.
