This episode is based upon the 1st of two adventures of a little jungle boy named BONGO. I just happened upon the eBook Rental for this story because it was featured as the 2nd part of Adventure television station, whose free preview pages included the very title used in this #128, in the synopsis.

Anyway, Atom take the role played by the jungle boy.

!28 starts with Atom & Ochanomizu on a doomed airliner over the Amazon jungle; the passengers bale out:




This is the last we see of Ochanomizu, though that seems strange.

Atom finds one passenger remains, & flies away with her:



Milly & most of the other characters are the same as those in the manga. Milly has her papa's journal, & I am guessing is searching for him.




As it was pouring when they landed, Atom & Milly sought refuge in a tree's hollow trunk.




I believe this guy got the role of Shibugaki's papa in the 1980s version.




I find this guy's appearance a bit disturbing, though I do not want to discuss it publicly.


Is this Japanese?






Papa's journal


continued--

After some explanations, peace:

But the men (who had been exploring when Atom & Milly dropped in) have departed.


Oops, papa's journal is missing!







Sorry, I must keep the image count low, so there lacks continuity here. Atom has driven off the giant snake & saved the explorers.





They hope this cage will keep the snakes from getting them, but they roll themselves into a large ball & slam into it.








Following the map in papa's journal--

This series has a theme of Atom making friends with female dinosaurs.

Recall the mama dino who repaid Atom for saving her baby from the T-rex by saving Atom from the magnetic rock. Let us not forget Bebei, whom the pig-aliens brought to earth; & now, this friendly plesiosaur, who is actually rather pretty in this version, but was not so, in Bongo.





They descend into the crater, & find a tunnel that leads them to:

A big solid door & a pull-chain.








I have the frames for a GIF of Lamp stuffing his pockets, just ask & send me your email in a PM.

Atom says they must leave all the treasure behind.





Yes, the sombrero guy kills Lamp.

Omg lol

Thanks for sharing, jeffbert!

Yeah thanks Jeffbert

Now if they were both smoking cigarettes...!

I'm trying to figure out how Milly is supposed to be - she appears to be older than 9 -- and so does Astro -- and Tezuka did draw him for a time a little taller and leaner (as he appears here). I like the 60's anime for what seems to be Astro becoming a "young man from a little boy" -- and I often wonder what Tezuka would have done with Atom's character if the public hadn't demanded he remain a younger child.
