After 15 years in Europe as a successful musician, Kisenga returns to his native Africa. There he finds that his tribe is in danger of being wiped out by sleeping-sickness since their witch doctor, Magole, will not let them move to healthier land. Kisenga is helped in his battle against superstition and death by the District Commissioner and a young British doctor. One of Thorold Dickinson 's most distinguished films, this was noted for its beautiful colour photography of Tanganyika and music score by Arthur Bliss.
