At the start of the tale, Bomba is portrayed as a young boy adept at surviving in the treacherous jungle, where he must remain vigilant against both animals and hostile natives known as headhunters. After reuniting with a friendly monkey named Doto, Bomba reflects on the recent loss of his companion, Jojasta, the local medicine man who could have revealed information about his parents. Soon, he detects a threat from the headhunters, leading to a sudden attack that forces him to draw on all his skills to evade capture.
