Synopsis

An escaped con steals a uniform from the Phantom, then blunders into an annual tournament without understanding the local language. When a Wambezi wrestler beats "the Phantom," the wrestler becomes ruler of the jungle for a year, appalling all the elders. The real Phantom beats the wrestler (to everyone's relief), and captures the crook, who still has no idea what has gone on.
