After fifteen years of research in his jungle laboratory Prof. Chakravarty has at last succeeded in finalising a formula which would increase the life of man considerably.

But wild animals suddenly attack the village. As the three run up to the ballon, Chakravarty is killed by a tiger. Uma runs up to her husband. In the meantime the balloon flies up with the child all alone in it. Poor Uma, who has lost her husband and son so quickly, goes mad . When the balloon comes back to earth after a storm, Dada, the human chimpanzee, takes up the lonely child in his care. . Seventeen years after Seth Durgadas comes to Vanrajpur with his adopted daughter Leela who believes that the long lost son is still alive as Zimbo the Jungle man. Along with one Biharilal a doubtful character and Chalak a good hearted but simple man, they all start in search of Zimbo under the able guidance of Dilawar. . On their way they are attacked by a group of junglemen, who are in reality the guardians of the frontiar beyond which lies the secret kingdom of Queen Maya. Informed by Dada, Zimbo comes up in a spectcular fashion and rescues Leela and the party. Bihari sees the taweez in Zimbos neck. As Zimbo is about to embrace Seth Durgadas, the mad Uma turns up and scares him away. Bihari goes to shoot Zimbo but is foiled in his plan by Leela. . Next day as Chalak is preparing his meals, Dada comes up and steels it away. Bihari shoots at Dada who is badly wounded. Leela is disgusted with Bihari. Later on Bihari finding Leela alone goes to make love to her when Zimbo crops up and carries her away. . In Zimbos treetop abode Leela is innocently harassed by the simple Zimbo. Then finding the wounded Dada she extracts the bullet from his arm and wins the gratitude of Zimbo. At night Leela decides to sleep in a cave, but runs away all frightened to find lions playing like kids with Zimbo. . Next morning Leela is thrilled to see Zimbo fight with a tiger. The lovers are happy in their dreamtime world when Jugal, Mayas lieutenant traps Zimbo and carries him away. This is seen by Dada. Hearing Leelas cries for help Durgadas and party rush forward and re-find her alone. . In her palace, Queen Maya tries to win the affection of Zimbo by dances and songs, but Zimbo has thoughts of Leela alone and pushes her away savagely. Jugal challanges zimbo to a duel and is miserably defeated. Maya garlands Zimbo as the victor. Just then Durgadas and party led by Dada come up and Zimbo escapes. But all the rest of them are caught. . Bihari turns traitor and in return for his freedom suggests to Maya to free Dada who is bound to go to Zimbo and thus Zimbo is bound to come back to free Leela. That is how it actually happens. . In a spectacular climax Zimbo comes up with his friendly elephants and frees Leela, Durgadas and all.
