The stories

“The Historian”

Heg manipulates Smith and Jade in order to deliver false messages ordering the Jungle Patrol to stand down. The Phantom captures Heg and his boss and sets things right, never revealing that he is the unknown commander.

“Safari Into the Unknown”

Track Hunter and Oloo investigate a legend of pigmy lions and elephants, but discover that the stories arise from eating hallucinogenic mushrooms.

“Grandpa”

Appalled that his granddaughter loves a mysterious masked cave-dweller, Grandpa ushers a parade of eligible bachelors through her life -- which shocks the Phantom when he arrives unannounced for a visit. When Bob and Diana are attacked by grizzly bears while hunting, Bob valiantly defends her, but it's the Phantom who kills one bear and drives off another. He later captures two gunmen robbing the Palmers, convincing Grandpa that Diana's suitor is exactly what he should be -- which is what she's wanted all along.
