In order to play a hoax on a scientific expedition sponsored by a rival magazine, Ben Lyon disguises himself as a "white savage," the very prize for which the hunters are seeking. The search takes them down into' the tropical jungles. Then the "white savage" is capWred after he pursues the scientists on the back of a mammoth, brontosaurus. . "Trigger _ Fingers," the other . attraction, is a quick-«iction story interpreted by Bob Custer, new F. 8.0. western star, who ' has come straight from the unfenced Texas Range to the confines of a motion picture lot.
