Twenty years ago, Seiichiro Watanabe, his daughter Reiko, and Reiko's uncle Kenkichi went to Africa after asking their friend Dr. Shiga, who had disappeared after exploring Africa, and Tokio Shimamura, who has a local beast garden. Was welcomed. Seiichiro's actual purpose was to find a pile of diamonds in a letter he had previously received from Dr. Shiga. Tokio also knew the purpose, and the two decided to work together. The party traveling through the jungle was attacked by a group of human-eating aborigines and separated. Reiko saved a young man who was attacked by a gorilla on the way to escape and defeated the gorilla. The young man, called Bruva, was a wild child who did not know the human language and lived with animals in the jungle. While living with Bruva, Reiko realized that Bruva was the deceased child of Dr. Shiga. Bruva was a young man who did not know the dirt of the human world. The two became intimate, and Bruva gradually learned Japanese. However, when he came to look for Reiko, Bruva disappeared after being shot by a man's gun, and Reiko was taken back. Eventually, the party found a pile of diamonds, but at the same time they were attacked by a human-eating race. He was saved by Bruva who pulled a beast in a dangerous place. The party boarded the boat to bring Bruva back to Japan, but in the voice of the beasts who were reluctant to say goodbye, Bruva jumped into the river again and returned to the jungle. Reiko also followed him into the river.
