Dr Hert Dickey and his bride Elizabeth Parker completed a nine month journey through Peru and Brazil, filming head hunting among Jiveros in eastern Ecuador. The honeymoon couple, with film staff, spent ten weeks among head hunters, during which Dickey saved an Indian from a venomous snake and was rewarded with a cured head.
