- Synopsis
- The M'buka tribe have problems with drought, so Pantha and Dane decide to try and find a solution. As they approach the village they spot a table top mountain in the distance. This had been used by US air troops, but although a fertile piece of land with its own lake, it was inaccessible from below. Pantha cleverly formulates a plan to get a vine to the top of the mesa for her to climb and establish a more secure vine system to pull up the tribe and their possessions.
