Jungle Menace (1937) is the first serial released by Columbia Pictures.

Based on the success of Republic Pictures's 1936 serial Darkest Africa, starring real-life animal trainer Clyde Beatty, Columbia made this exotic jungle serial starring real-life animal collector Frank "Bring 'Em Back Alive" Buck. Set in the fictional land of Seemang in Asia, Buck plays the role of Frank Hardy, a soldier of fortune who intervenes in and investigates attempts to run a rubber plantation owner and his daughter off their land.

It was directed by Harry L. Fraser and George Melford, and filmed in black and white in Stockton, California, USA.

In 1946, material from this serial was re-edited into the 70-minute feature film adaptation called Jungle Terror.
