Nagana (1955)
Film Synopsis
Shortly after he is released from prison, Maurice Leblond allows himself to be sweet-talked by a man named Charlier into joining him on an expedition to Cameroon. Ostensibly, the expedition is a philanthropic one, intended to cure the natives of sleeping sickness or 'nagana'. In truth, Charlier's real motive is to get his hands on the natives' enormous stock of gold, a bounty which he is sure will make him a very rich man. When Charlier's secretary Geneviève discovers his intentions she gatecrashes the expedition and joins forces with Maurice, who is equally appalled by Charlier's motives, to thwart her employer. In spite of their best intentions, Cameroon is still a wild and dangerous country, and their survival is far from assured...© James Travers
