American aviatrix Jane Dodge crashes her plane in the jungle. Constructing a costume out of giraffe hide and parachute cords, she goes in search of people. Jane observes Nurla, claiming to be the Moon Goddess, deceiving the inhabitants of Towla Village into helping her steal sacred pearls from a neighboring village. Jane intervenes and prevents bloodshed between the two villages. The people of Towla have Jane fight a leopard to prove her worthiness, then designate her Rulah, their "jungle goddess."

Joan's editor gives her a bracelet containing a miniature movie camera and sends her out to find a story. After several flops, Jane becomes the "100,000,000th" visitor to the library and wins a rare edition of "Treasure Island." She tosses the book in the trash but two criminals show up to steal it, because it contains clues to the location of a stolen payroll. Joan foils the crooks and recovers the loot.
