Stirling was immediately popular in The Tiger Woman. Due to her impact, Zorro's Black Whip was quickly put into production with her as the main star.[2]
Linda Stirling is a jungle girl lost in the South American rainforest and ruling a native tribe. The serial's plot is a variant on the common serial and B-Western "land grab" plot - in this case, the villains attempt to run the natives off the land so that they can claim its valuable oil reserves.
