Synopsis by Robert Firsching
This came from Larry Buchanan, the director of Mars Needs Women. Jenny Neumann takes a group of men into the jungles of Kenya to look for her husband, and instead finds a tribe of caveman-looking "Near-Men" who all seem terribly attracted to her beautiful blond hair. Needless to say, after a tedious and lengthy set-up which seems to be reenacting various scenes from Il Dio di Montagna Cannibale, Clan of the Cave Bear, and the same year's Tarzan, the Ape Man, they manage to have their way with the unsuspecting white woman.
