Jeremy Taylor is traveling through the Amazon rivers along with his wife and daughter when his boat gets attacked by some Indigenous cannibals who eat his wife Elisabeth and take Jeremy prisoner. The little girl Léna manages to hide inside the boat, even though the cannibal witch doctor and his son Yakeké find her fainted on the side of a river and carry her to the village, where she gets worshipped as the "white goddess."
After having suffered an arm amputation, Jeremy flees from the cannibal tribe and, rescued, manages to return to New York. His recovery, both physical and psychological, is still slow. Ana's presence is decisive; the doctor who, after having cured him with love, gets engaged to him. But Jeremy is obsessed with retrieving his daughter, who he believes of seeing reflected images on the shop window. Thus, after 10 years, he manages to organise a new expedition in the cannibals' land, financed by a billionaire lover of adventure, Charles Fenton, and his partner Barbara Shelton.
During the journey, the members of the expedition get killed one after the other by the natives hidden within the vegetation. Only Jeremy, Ana, and a young photographer reach the village, but as prisoners, the doctor gets immediately eaten by the cannibals.
Léna, who has grown and has married Yakaké, the witch doctor's son, seems unable to recognise her father, but when she learns the day after tomorrow that the two men will be sacrificed, she decides to free them at nighttime. Jeremy begs her to return to the United States with him, but Léna does not want to leave those who are by now her place and her people.
Jeremy returns to the village on the way back to expend his resources. He sneaks into the tent of Léna and takes hold of her. Whilst he is leaving the village, he still gets found by Yakaké, who, in the river, in front of the mayhem of the natives, faces up in a rustic duel before the photographer, defeating him, and then Jeremy himself, who manages to have the upper hand despite his amputated arm.
While Yakaké does his usual salute to his "White goddess", Jeremy and his daughter return to civilisation.
