First Line of Dialogue or Text

Near the edge of the Bengali jungle, armed revolt flares in the streets!

Genre

adventure; jungle

Characters

The Phantom [Kit Walker]; Diana Palmer; Doctor Luaga; Bababu; village chiefs

Synopsis

Bababu, who has overthrown the freely-elected Dr. Luaga, terrorizes the country. The Phantom, commissioned by the U.N., captures him and reluctantly acquiesces when the chiefs insist on trial by combat between the two rivals. The scholarly, slightly-built Luaga is clearly over-matched, but the chiefs know what neither Bababu nor the Phantom know... that Luaga is an expert at judo.
