The stories

“Scaly Sentinel of Taboo Swamp”

A gang of criminals believe that a scientist can lead them to a giant, solid gold statue. Kaänga pursues them into the Voodoo Swamp where they all learn that the idol is a living dinosaur.

An Indian rajah comes to Khefra in order to steal the ancient Black Diamonds of Kaa.

Ivory hunters penetrate deep into Tabu's jungle where they encounter a tribe of mute men who kidnap Steve, the safari leader. Tabu learns that Steve had visited the tribe many years before and, after killing their king, had ordered the men's tongues cut out. The king's daughter has her revenge of Steve, with Tabu's approval.

Counterfeiters swindle Andy but lose their counterfeiting plates in the process.
