Synopsis

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill sends Jane and the Colonel on a mission to prevent the diamonds of the fabled Lost City from falling into enemy hands. Journeying to Africa where they are joined by Jungle Jack Buck, their quest is dogged by Nazi agents Lola Pagola and Heinrich.

Jane and the Lost City emulates the mild eroticism of its source material, having the heroine lose items of her clothing several times during the narrative. Despite this, the film was released as PG (Parental Guidance) in the USA. [1] [2]
