Bomba is a young man about 13 or 14 years old. He can not remember his parents, so something must have happened to him or his parents. He simply can not remember. Raised by a man named Cody Casson in the Amazon rain forest, Bomba the Jungle boys wants dearly to find out who his parents were, and where they are.
One day, while roaming the Amazon jungle, Bomba meets the explorers Dorn and Gillis and in doing so, saves their entire camp from a savage jaguar attack. Promising to return one day, they leave gifts (including a pistol) and then head for the coast while Bomba soon runs into a party of dreaded headhunters from the distant Giant Cataract. After escaping their clutches initially, the jungle boy secures the friendship of a local tribe,the Araos, before racing back to Cody, to defend all he holds dear.
Combating snakes, a cayman, vultures, pumas and vampire bats, Bomba returns to the hut he shares with the old naturalist, Cody Casson and by trickery, courage and the stout friendship of his local animal friends, they defeat the marauders.
Cody, who experiences moments of lucidity, recalls the names "Laura" and "Bartow" and adds that Jojasta, the Medicine Man of the distant Moving Mountain, can shed some light on Bomba's parentage. It is to this terrible land that Bomba will go to next, in his quest for knowledge of his past and origins!
