Baclanova, as Tania, is the Russian-born wife of Brook, the commissioner of a land deep in the African jungles. She is an evil woman who uses jungle magic to seduce young men, and then disposes of them when she is finished. The first to fall for her magic is Brook's assistant, Fenton.
She has her way with him, tires of the boy, and causes him to kill himself by a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Brook's kid brother, Hamilton, comes to the jungle to replace Fenton. Baclanova tries to do the same to him. He is stronger than his predecessor, but succumbs nonetheless.
Learning that his brother has fallen prey to his wicked wife, Brook puts poison in her orange...
