The novel by RIDER HAGGARD dramatised by VICTOR PEMBERTON with The first broadcast of Rider Haggard's immortal romance. Life exists; why then should not the means of preserving it also exist? On Leo Vincey's 25th birthday, the contents of the box that Horace Holly has kept in safe-keeping for his ward, send them on a strange adventure, to find, among the great mountains and swamps of Africa, the beautiful white woman who rules over a savage people who have never seen her. She. who has power over all things living and dead, and whose life is-eternal: She-who-must-be-obeyed.
