Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Lost City of the Jungle is a 1946 film serial produced by Universal.The "United Peace Federation" is a private organization, founded by a deceased billionaire, dedicated to the prevention of war and to stopping "warmongers". One of those warmongers is Sir Eric Hazarias (Lionel Atwill), an arms dealer, a friend of fascists, and an all-around bad guy. Sir Eric is in pursuit of "Meteorium-245", a rare element that (somehow) will allow whoever has it to successfully defend themselves against atomic bombs. The UPF is determined to stop Sir Eric, so they send their best man, agent Rod Stanton, in pursuit.Stanton sees Sir Eric's car go plunging off a cliff, but has suspicions that Sir Eric isn't really dead. He's right, as the man in the car was an impostor. The real Sir Eric, who has adopted the alias of Geoffrey London, is off to the fictional not-Tibet country of Zalabar, north of the Himalayas, to find meteorium. His plot involves the archaeological expedition of one Dr. Elmore, who is searching for an ancient "lost city" believed to be somewhere in Zalabar. Dr. Elmore has no idea that Hazarias is using him and his expedition for an evil plot. Stanton and the UPF for their part have no idea that Sir Eric is not really in charge of the bad guys, and that in fact his "secretary" Malburn is the real boss of the operation.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Rod Stanton goes flying off to the Himalayas in pursuit. Coming with him is Stanton's pretty daughter Marjorie, who also has no idea of Hazarias's evil plot and is simply hitching a ride. Much derring-do and many exciting cliffhangers ensue.Lost City of the Jungle ran for thirteen half-hour episodes. It was the next-to-last film serial produced by Universal, as the rise of television would soon make film serials obsolete. | |

In Episode 10, "Booby Trap Rendezvous", instead of lying in wait for Rod Stanton at the expedition headquarters and shooting him In the Back, the bad guys set up a booby trap with a charge of dynamite and a box precariously mounted to fall on the detonator. A brawl ensues when Stanton arrives while the mook's back is turned. | |

Booby Trap: In Episode 6 the entrance to the tomb of the Glowing Goddess is protected by a hidden spring in the steps. A Mook puts his foot on the step and triggers a death trap in which poison gas is pumped into the chamber. He dies. Rod Stanton follows and does the same thing, and is himself being overcome by the gas when the episode ends on the cliffhanger-of-the-week. In Episode 10, "Booby Trap Rendezvous", instead of lying in wait for Rod Stanton at the expedition headquarters and shooting him In the Back, the bad guys set up a booby trap with a charge of dynamite and a box precariously mounted to fall on the detonator.

Real Life Writes the Plot | |
| Lost City of the Jungle / int_786bf97f | comment |
Real Life Writes the Plot: Lionel Atwill (Sir Eric) was very sick with cancer when this serial was being filmed. He died before shooting was finished. The producers, not willing to start over or waste their footage of big star Lionel Atwill, re-jiggered the plot. Malburn, who originally was just supposed to be Sir Eric's assistant, was elevated to The Man Behind the Man and the real leader of the organization. The plot was re-shuffled to move most of the footage with Atwill to the second half of the serial. Also, a Fake Shemp was used, sometimes to be Sir Eric in disguise, sometimes shot behind or from a distance to disguise the fact that it was a double. | |

Fake Shemp: A double was used to complete some scenes after the death of Lionel Atwill, sometimes in disguise as Geoffrey London, sometimes shot from behind or from a distance. In Episode 4, an entire scene with Geoffrey London in the casino is done with other characters talking to the double, who is shot from behind, with awkward insertions of the same closeup of Lionel Atwill's face. The conference between Sir Eric's gang and the natives in episode 11 is shot with similarly awkward shots of Atwill in closeup, with his body double carefully hidden by other actors in other shots. | |

Faking the Dead: Apparently by accident. The presumed death of the fake Sir Eric Hazarias in a car crash (it was a double) leads to the real Sir Eric Hazarias seizing on this chance to go to the Himalayas under the identity of "Geoffrey London". | |

Running Gag: "System", the one Gambling Addict at the Light of Asia Casino who keeps confidently asserting that this time he has a foolproof system and is guaranteed to win. In the last episode it's revealed that System is actually an agent with the United Peace Federation. And he finally found a system, as shown by the huge pile of chips he's won. | |

Mighty Whitey: It turns out that Indra, the really sexy white lady who owns the "Light of Asia" casino in Pendrang, is actually the ruler of the whole of Zalabar. Apparently the locals are perfectly willing to let a hot white woman run their country. | |
