Allan Quatermain, grieving from the tragic loss of his son, longs to return to his beloved Africa. He sets out in search of a lost white tribe, the Zu-Vendis, ruled by two beautiful sister Queens. Quatermain's companions are the indefatigable Sir Henry Curtis, Captain Good, and the magnificent Zulu warrior Umslopogaas. The journey is incredibly dangerous, and after a fantastic underground journey by canoe, the heroes are embroiled in a bloody civil war.
