Two original mimeograph brad-bound scripts for the motion picture Jungle Girl, loosely based on the Burroughs novel of the same title, an Estimating Script and a Cutting Continuity Script, both 8.5 x 13, 424 and 309 pages long. The Estimating Script is dated February 17, 1941, and contains episodes one through fifteen, with the first episode 70 pages long, and the other episodes approximately 25 pages each. Both covers have brief pencil notations done in unknown hands. Episode titles from the serial include “Queen of Beasts,” “River of Fire,” “Treasure Tomb,” “Jungle Killer,” and “Diamond Trail.” In fine condition, with front cover of Cutting Continuity script detached, one missing episode from same script, and expected handling wear. Scripts are housed in custom designed green quarter-length boxes. Released in 1941, this classic cliffhanger was quite unusual for the period—it was the first attempt to feature a female lead in an action-orientated movie serial, with Frances Gifford starring as Nyoka, the Jungle Girl.
