King of the Wild is a 1931 American Pre-Code Mascot movie serial.

Plot

Robert Grant, framed for a coup in the Indian country of Ranjapur, escapes from prison to Africa in search of the real villains. Here he meets Sheik Mustapha (Boris Karloff), who has evidence to clear him, and the location of a secret diamond mine.

  • Nora Lane as Muriel Armitage, Tom Armitage's sister

The stars of King of the Wild were intended to be Harry Carey and Edwina Booth but filming on the MGM film Trader Horn (1931) went over-schedule, forcing Mascot to recast.[1]

Also appearing in the serial was explorer Albert DeWinton. He later went after explorer Percy Fawcett who had disappeared in Brazil several years earlier. DeWinton also disappeared in the Amazon in early 1934 and was presumed dead.[2]

Production

King of the Wild is sometimes misreported as an alternate title for the serial King of the Kongo, which also starred Boris Karloff.[3]
