The stories

“Domestic Animals, Number 15: Domestic Goats”

Facts about goats

“The Sixth Man”

The Phantom allows himself to be shanghaied so as to take part in Queen Sansamor's game. Six men fight to the death to win their way to a tent and fight the Queen's champion, the winner to receive a fortune in jewels. The Phantom wins through to find a death trap and an executioner, rather than a fair fight. He breaks out with Devil's help and proves that the Queen's jewels are paste. Her disgusted soldiers arrest and depose her, ending the rigged tournaments.

“A Breathtaking Experience”

A leopard jumps King, plunging both into a jungle pool. King gambles that he can hold his breath longer, and wins.

The survivor of a pirate raid founds a line of Phantoms who war on pirates.
