Output (English): Fortune hunter Dan Rockland George Segal comes to West Africa pretending to be a geologist. He is actually employed by Kramer Harry Andrews, whose business is diamonds, and when Kramers workers discover a huge uncut gem, Rockland is sent to retrieve it. He and his African guide Matakit Johnny Sekka have opposition to contend with, first from Capt. Karl Ludwig Ian Hendry, who is Kramers security chief, and another is the diabolical Plankett Orson Welles, who resents Rocklands interest in a woman named Erica Ursula Andress. The jewel is brought to Kramer and named The Southern Star, but at a party to celebrate the find, a power blackout leads to chaos. The diamond is gone. Matakit flees on a pet ostrich. Rockland sets out after him, with Erica coming along. Ludwig and his thugs are also in hot pursuit. Plankett gets to Matakit first and takes him prisoner, setting a trap that leads to a shootout. In the end, just when it appears the diamond is safe, more ostriches show up and one of them just might have it.
