In this TV jungle adventure from 1954, the brutal Crocodile cult of Kaa is kidnapping villagers and threatening to sacrifice them if a ransom is not paid! The cultists have superhuman strength, and Dr. Reynolds (Ramar) sets out to discover the source of their power, destroy the cult and rescue the villagers...

Dr. Reynolds and his pal Professor Howard Ogden are running some experiments in their jungle lab. They're working away, when...
Their helper, Zahir, brings one of the local villagers to tell his story about how his wife was kidnapped by the Crocodile cult and will be sacrificed because he could not pay the ransom to save her! So, Dr. Reynolds and Professor Ogden go into the jungle and rescue the man's wife.
The Maharajah calls for Ramar and Howard to visit him. He wants to talk about the Crocodile cult and all the problems they are causing in that area, our heroes agree to help out...
The jungle is full of those Crocodile cultists, they're keeping tabs on the good guys.
The villagers are being attacked by crocodiles and must fight them to survive!
Then, one of the cultists, high on the special liquid, attacks Ramar and starts squeezing the life out of him! Howard hits the maniac in the skull with his gun three before it knocks him out! Ramar heads back to the camp but the dude wakes up and captures Howard!
Ramar has discovered the source of the cultist's power and makes something to counteract it. He then hears that Howard has been captured, so, he goes to the village of the cultists to confront them. He does some hoodoo to confuse the bad guys as he talks to Howard about the situation...
And, he has Zahir pour his counteracting fluid into the crazies' urn of power ade...
The leader and Ramar square off to see who's the most powerful. After the big lug tosses Ramar around, his power seems to have diminished and he drinks almost all of the contaminated liquid...
After another round, Ramar cleans the leader's clock and all the cultists run away while being chased by Ramar's men, bringing an end to the cult of the Crocodile God... Amen!
In the fifties, all these kids' shows had a good laugh at the end, like this one... Tune in Wednesday when we're back with more cool junk, just for you!
