The stories

“The Adventures of the Girl Phantom”

In a story frame, The Phantom tells Diana of how one of his ancestors became ill. Fearing that the Phantom's absence would threaten jungle peace, his twin sister Julie took his place very successfully, but at last crooks discovered that she was "only" a girl. They tracked her to the Deep Woods and made away with some of the Phantom treasure. She recovers the treasure, but the crooks lose their lives in a waterfall through rejecting her instructions. Her brother never realizes her ruse.

“Flash Gordon and the Space Pirates [Part 3”

Forced down by a meteor strike on their space ship, Flash and Patch encounter hypnotic globes and a huge predator, which they fend off with a ray gun before blasting off again.

“The Invisible Demon”

Several jungle folk, finally including the Phantom, are terrifyingly whisked into the sky by an unseen captor. Dr. Krazz is working with the Mytors, an underground race who want human samples for study in preparation for conquering the earth. The Phantom frees Mabawa and K'Wago, sending Krazz in their stead, and escapes, dynamiting Krazz's lair so as to end the Mytor threat.
