In East Africa, British deputy Andrew Barnes and his assistant Eli are visited by hunter Pat Gilroy, who asks Andy to bring him to the nearest village where he can hire native guides. Their discussion is interrupted by a radio message from the Commissioner in Nairobi, informing Andy that the last hunting expedition, consisting of Professor Catesby, two Americans and Pedro Sebastian, a native guide, has been missing for days. Meanwhile, Bomba, a young white man who has been reared in the jungle, is saving Pedro's daughter Lita and her servant from a lion attack. After he wrestles the lion to the ground, Lita thanks him and explains that they are searching for her father. Bomba decides to accompany them and has his chimp friend, Kimbbo, send a message throughout the jungle asking for information. He then hears a drum message from Eli, who is also looking for more information about the missing men. Bomba drums back that he is bringing Lita to Chief Nomgola's village to look for clues, but when they reach the village, they find only the dead bodies of Professor Catesby, Nomgola and several natives. Just as the chimps return to inform Bomba that they have located the hunting party, one of the Americans, Greg, spots Bomba and Lita. After Greg grabs Lita and shoots her servant, Bomba escapes into the river. He then drums a quick S.O.S signal to Andy and Eli and follows Greg and Lita. While Eli translates the signal, Andy finds a wanted poster that reveals that Gilroy is actually notorious diamond smuggler Roy de Haven. De Haven, seeing the poster, immediately forces Andy to sail him to Nomgola, and although Andy lies to Eli that everything is fine, Eli deduces something is wrong and follows the pair. In the jungle, Bomba rescues Lita, who leads him to a nearby crater where her father recently discovered diamonds. There, they see that Greg and the other American, Hardy, have enslaved Pedro and Nomgola's tribe and are forcing them to mine the crater for diamonds. They watch as Greg returns to the site and informs Hardy that they must leave because an indestructible jungle boy is after them, but Hardy refuses to go until de Haven meets them, as planned, to help smuggle the diamonds. Although Greg guards the mouth to the crater, Bomba slips inside via a secret underwater entrance. As soon as he dives into the water, however, Greg captures Lita and brings her to Pedro. Later that night, when Hardy finally allows his slaves to rest in the cave, Bomba attacks him, and although Kimbbo throws rocks at Greg to keep him at bay, Hardy overpowers and imprisons Bomba. In the morning, Bomba frees himself and the others, but just as he escapes, Greg and Hardy deliberately start a landslide which traps everyone else in the cave. While Pedro leads the slaves in an attempt to dig their way through the cave wall, Bomba watches Greg and Hardy race into the jungle. By swinging on vines and swimming through river short cuts, Bomba overcomes the two Americans just as they find a motor boat on the riverbank. He jumps on board and struggles with Hardy. At the same time, Andy and de Haven appear around the bend of the river, followed by Eli. Eli attacks de Haven, allowing Andy to shoot Greg. After Bomba knocks out Hardy, the three smugglers are rounded up on one boat, to be brought to the Commissioner. Pedro and Lita, safely out of the cave, join the party, but when Lita turns to thank Bomba, she finds that he has already slipped back to the jungle

In the African jungle, Bomba, who was taken from his family when he was very young and reared by the now-deceased Cody Cassidy, struggles to read his foster father's diary, then brings the book to Commissioner Barnes. Barnes reads that Bomba's parents, John and Laura Hastings, were mapmakers who were staying with a tribe headed by Chief Gamboso when they were murdered. Eager to learn more about his parents, Bomba travels across the jungle, swinging from vine to vine until he reaches Gamboso's village. On the outskirts, he spots beautiful Linda Ward swimming and jumps in to save her from an approaching crocodile. Misunderstanding Bomba's intent, Linda swims away from him in fear, but then sees him wrestling the crocodile and shoots it. Grateful, she brings Bomba back to Gamboso's village, where her father is finishing a government inspection. Bomba asks Gamboso and his daughter Boru about his parents, but is told that the only person who would have any information is his old nurse, tribe member Linasi, who is dead. Despondent, Bomba leaves, but is followed into the jungle by Kokoli, who informs Bomba that Linasi is alive and will tell him his true history. Kokoli leads him to Linasi, who is blind, and then disappears while she describes how she saved Bomba as a boy after his parents were killed by Gamboso. She was then blinded by Gamboso to keep her from informing the police, and Bomba's parents were buried in a cave above a village called Jeruti, along with his father's diary, which details the whole crime. Just as she begins to describe the path to the cave, Linasi is killed by a poisoned dart. Boru and her warriors appear and, blaming Bomba for the murder, bring him back to the tribe. There, Linda's father, who believes in Bomba's innocence, reminds Gamboso that since natives cannot punish white people, the young man must be brought to the police. Linda, however, refuses to accept this arrangement and holds Boru at gunpoint until she releases Bomba, who runs into the jungle. Later, Kokoli hears Gamboso and Boru plan to kill the Wards as soon as they leave the village the next day and informs Bomba. Bomba does not completely trust Kokoli until the native reveals that Linasi was his mother and that his father, the real chief of the tribe, was killed by Gamboso, who then murdered the Hastings when they witnessed the coup. The two locate the Wards, who are trekking with a safari team to the next village, and warn them. That night, Boru's men attack their camp and kill all of the safari team, though Bomba saves Ward and Linda. Bomba sends Kokoli to ask Barnes for help and leads the Wards toward Jeruti. After days of hiking, they finally reach the village, only to find it attacked and abandoned. While Ward and Linda barricade themselves in the longhouse and await Barnes, Bomba climbs into the treetops to search the jungle for Boru. He spots her dispersing her men out in a long line and, assuming she will be no threat, begins to search for his parents' cave. When Kokoli arrives with Barnes and two other men, Linda rushes to inform Bomba of their arrival. Just as she finds him, however, Boru's men set fire to the jungle around Jeruti and the pair is trapped. After Bomba and Linda witness Boru being hit by a falling tree limb, they drag her and her lieutenant into a nearby cave. There, Bomba finds his parents' graves and the diary. As Linda reads the story of Gamboso's murderous takeover, Boru attempts to blow a poison dart at her but is foiled by Bomba. While Bomba then fights with Boru's lieutenant, Linda struggles with Boru until both natives are overcome, and Boru throws herself into the fire. Days later, after the fire is brought under control and Gamboso has been sent to jail, the commissioner names Kokoli as the new leader of the tribe. When the Wards look for Bomba to thank him, however, he is gone, and Barnes explains that Bomba acts not to receive praise but only to see justice accomplished
