This exploitation film starts off with an introduction setting up the story. The story is told by a narrator who starts by giving an academic presentation at a conference. The film/documentary is supposed to be film shot in Angkor Cambodia right before or during World War 1. This black and white film is a combination of stock footage with exploitation inserts shown as a "documentary". The "documentary" is based on the sacred monkeys. This film is a pre cursor of the later "Mondo" films which were so popular in the 1960's. It follows the same basic script in which "explorers" are going into a sacred place in a mysterious land. One of the selling points is obviously the scenes of topless native women (these women apparently were hired out of LA brothels). This is not an accurate of well done film. It should be viewed only in a historical context of exploitation films shot in the 1930s. This film apparently was shown a lot during the 40's - 50's in exploitation theaters.
