==Synopsis==
Henry Morton Stanley (played by George Walsh) is sent to darkest Africa with a female reporter (played by actress Louise Lorraine) to find the missing British explorer Dr. Livingston.  As the two of them travel through Africa, they stumble across a gang of slavers who at one point take the girl prisoner and even auction her off to the highest bidder.  After dispensing with the slavers, Stanley and the girl eventually locate the missing Dr. Livingston in the heart of the African jungle.

The serial was based on the real-life story of Henry Morton Stanley and his two-year hunt to find Dr. David Livingstone in the African jungles. Even with that, not all of it is factual. For example, the run-in with the group of slavers was added into the serial to make it more interesting to watch.
