Made during MGM's transition from silent to sound movies, Untamed was Crawford's first talkie. It was the first role as a leading man for Montgomery, who made several silents before this film.
An oil prospector, Henry "Hank" Dowling (Lloyd Ingraham), has raised his free-spirited daughter, Alice "Bingo" Dowling (Joan Crawford), in the jungle of South America. He asks his friend, Ben Murchison (Ernest Torrence), to come work with him on oil wells that have made him rich.
