Curse of the Voodoo

Stock footage of African scenes follow the titles before a narration begins. "Africa, a country that for centuries was hidden from civilised man. Africa, a country of grandeur, power, beauty and sudden death."

"Africa, where primitive tribes still practice evil religions which weave a dark web of death around all who sin against their Gods. One such God is Simba . . . the Lion. And for any man who dares to kill the Lion, the penalty is death."

Radlett (Tony Thawnton) aims and fires at a Lion before Mike Stacey confirms that he "got him". There's a suggestion that exteriors were shot in Regent's Park but by the looks of it, this is somewhere on Chobham Common in darkest Surrey.

Leaving Radlett with Major Lomas, Mike Stacey (Bryant Halliday) goes in search of the wounded animal.

Enraging the Simbazi people by killing the sacred Lion, Mike follows his wife Janet back to England.

Following a bad dream about Africa and the Simbazi, Mike sees a Simbaza Tribesman (Nigel Feyisetan) in the bar of his hotel before following him outside. Facing east on Fife Road in Kingston upon Thames, Greater London with Station Buildings in the distance.

Looking around, Mike believes that the Simbaza may have boarded a bus.

John opts for the bus stop at the bus station on the main A307 as it leads into Kingston with the street named Weston Park in the background. (SJ)

Hopping onto the bus, Mike climbs the stairs to find a white Man taking his seat before turning around to face the Simbaza.

After another encounter with the Tribesman at his lodgings, Mike travels to Hampstead Heath.

Sitting on the heath, Mike lights a cigarette before looking up to see two Simbazi Tribesmen in traditional dress running towards him with spears.
