The Golden Idol is a 1954 American adventure film directed by Ford Beebe and starring Johnny Sheffield, Anne Kimbell and Paul Guilfoyle. It was the tenth in the 12-film Bomba, the Jungle Boy series, based on the Bomba series of juvenile adventure books. It was produced and distributed by Allied Artists
Prince Ali wants the Golden Idol of Watusi and hires a ruthless hunter to get it for him. Bomba has the idol and, with the help of Commissioner Barnes, Eli, and a beautiful archaeologist from the British Museum (Anne Kimbell), he foils Ali's plans. Ali and the hunter are noticeably more cold-blooded than most of Bomba's adversaries.
