Not a great pulp action-adventure flick with a lead actor with not a whole lot of charisma, still...
Jake Speed
Jake Speed (Wayne Crawford) is the lead character in some of the biggest page-turners of the 1940s.

Accompanied by the victim's sibling, Speed flies to Africa to see if he's up to the task.
