Still on his way to the coast with "good friend" Professor Kent and professional harpy Sheila Hanlen, Congo Bill comes across a strange sight!
Bill's careful choice of words seem to indicate that other ethnicities being buried up to their necks might not be such a big problem. Also, for you in-the-know hepcats out there, the red sky in the background places this adventure squarely during the Crisis on Infinite Earths!
But - what's this? Looks like that crazy fool Bill has stumbled onto the only 1940's-era jungle film to actually film in a real jungle!
The effects of the inter-dimensional crisis have already taken hold, changing history so that Professor Kent's first name is now James, not Joe as previously recounted. Is this the only change to affect our heroes? Stay tuned, Jungle Bunnies!
Well, fantastic. Not only has Sheila insinuated herself into Bill's boys-only he-man adventure club, now she's an actress all of a sudden? Miss Hanlen, I know Maureen O'Sullivan, and you're no Maureen O'Sullivan. I hope the script calls for her to be buried up to her neck. Or even better - mauled by a ferocious lion!
Oh, but...damn, seems like the lion wasn't really supposed to attack. There's a saboteur on the loose!
Hmmmph, those sissy Hollywood types, always giving up so easy. Don't worry, mama's boy, Bill has a plan!
Ah, the old plant-a-fake-clue-to-draw-the-killer-out scheme, eh? Well played, CB!
Seems the local natives have a cave stocked full of precious elephant tusks, which the assistant gaffer wants all to himself. Will he succeed? Well - the film's working title isn't Jungle Justice for nothing...
It sure is, Bill. That's not all that's over, as we find out in the next adventure, as you reach - The Coast!
