The Tiger Woman (or Perils of the Darkest Jungle) - 12 Chapters Movie Serial (1944) - Allan Lane and Linda Stirling

Linda Stirling is a jungle girl lost in the South American rainforest and ruling a native tribe. The serial's plot is a variant on the common "land grab" plot - in this case, the villains attempt to run the natives off the land so that they can claim its valuable oil reserves. Evil oil speculators in South America, led by Morgan (George J. Lewis) and Walton (LeRoy Mason), attempt to drive away a native tribe and their leader, the Tiger Woman (Linda Stirling). The Tiger Woman, a white woman, might be the lost heiress to a vast fortune, and later plotlines in the serial are built around determining her true identity. Allen Saunders (Allan Lane) of Inter-Ocean Oil wants to develop the oil, too, but unites with The Tiger Woman and José Delgado (Duncan Renaldo) to stop the bad guys (LeRoy Mason and George J. Lewis).
