All language subtitles for The.Phantom.1943.AMZN.WEB-DL.DD+2.0.H.264-alfaHD

In these unexplored jungles

live the native tribes
who for generations

had been ruled by
a great leader:

The Phantom, the Ghost Who
Walks, the Man Who Never Dies.

The supreme ruler who,
throughout the years,

has taught them to live
together in peace and harmony.

But one day, the peaceful
stillness of the jungle

is broken by the weird
and sinister sound

of the native tam-tams
that had long been silent.

It is a message
from The Phantom,

telling the leaders
of all the tribes

to gather together for
an important meeting.

And soon, at Tonga village,
the home of The Phantom,

the chiefs, medicine men,
high priests and witch doctors

begin to gather to
await the appearance

of their leader and counselor.

Looks like business
is picking up.

I feel a refreshment
mood coming on.

Let's go into the
bar and have a punch.

That's an idea.

Four punches, please.

Yes, sir, Professor Davidson,

how do you like our strange
country by this time?

Very much indeed, what
little I've seen of it.

Have you any word
yet from Mr. Smith?

No, but I'm sure
he'll be back today.

I'll let you know as
soon as he arrives.

Tell me, do you know why
they're beating those drums?

Some sort of a native ritual,
I don't know much about it.

I've only been here
a short time myself.

Oh, there's Dr. Bremmer.

He's been to the
interior many times.

He can probably tell
you all about it.

Dr. Bremmer!

I'd like to have you
meet Professor Davidson

of Melville University.

How do you do, Professor?

Doctor's our only
physician here in Sai Pana.

And this is my
niece, Ms. Palmer,

and Mr. Anderson, Mr.
Prescott, my two assistants.

How do you do, gentlemen?

Welcome to Sai Pana.

The professor wants to know
the meaning of those tam-tams.

Oh, so you're curious
about our drums?

Well, they're what
the natives use

for a jungle telegraph when, uh,

oh, but I don't suppose you
ever heard of The Phantom.

Isn't that the native legend
about the Man Who Never Dies?

Exactly.

Whenever there's trouble
brewing, he uses those drums

to call a meeting of
all the tribal leaders.

Does such a man really exist?

Oh, yes, he does.

And the natives really
believe him to be immortal?

They do indeed, but naturally,

we know him to be nothing
more than a clever showman

who exploits the ignorant
savages' superstitious fear.

Where does this Phantom live?

At the Tonga village,
about a day's journey

into the interior.

Very interesting indeed.

I'd like to run
across him sometime.

I think you'll find that
rather difficult, Professor.

Chiefs, leaders, men
of wisdom and knowledge,

I have called you
together because I fear

there are forces that will
menace your peace and happiness.

There has been no
war among any of you,

but I have reason to believe
that there are evil influences

trying to destroy
the way of life

under which you've
lived and prospered.

It has long been known --

No, Suba.

Leaders.

Stay here in Tonga until
I return to tell you more.

Master, I saw you
struck by poison dart.

Brought juice of tubiana flower.

You must drink quickly.

No, it's no use,
it'll only delay

the action of the
poison for a short time.

Moku go search for man
who shoot poison dart.

No, that's not important now.

Pen and paper.

I'm going to send a
message to my son.

Moku, I want you to take this
note to Rusty at Sai Pana

Come in.

Phantom send message to you.

Cable my son
at Melville University.

Tell him to take a plane
to Sai Pana at once.

Put that with the
rest of Z-17's reports.

Oh, come in, Long.

Hi, Kriss.

Well, did you get rid
of the immortal Phantom?

Yeah, he got it right where
the chicken gets the ax.

Nice work, sit down.

Now, with the Phantom
out of the way,

we'll be able to force
the natives to help us

with the construction of
our secret airbase at Zoloz.

That ought to be a pushover.

What's our next move?

There's a Professor Davidson

stopping at the
Trade Winds Hotel.

He's preparing to take an
expedition into the jungle,

but he won't leave until after

he's had a meeting with Smith.

So?

I want you to find out what
a university professor wants

with crook like Singapore Smith.

I'll do my best.

Who is it?

Joe Miller.

Oh, come in!

Hi, Singapore.

I want you to meet
Professor Davidson.

He's been waiting a week
for you to get back.

Oh, sorry to keep
you waiting, Professor.

I'll see you later.

After we've
corresponded for so long,

I'm glad to meet you in person.

Did you bring the keys?

I have them right here.

Good, then let's see how
they match up with mine.

Oh, sit down.

Now, let's see what
we've got here.

There, there it is.

There's one piece missing.

I knew it would take seven
pieces to complete that map,

but felt certain that, with
your three and my three,

would be enough to
give us the location

of the Lost City of the Zoloz.

Looks like you thought wrong.

I see now that it is
absolutely necessary

to have the seventh
key to determine

the location of the treasure.

Well, that being the case,

we might as well
forget the whole thing.

I have no idea where
that key can be found.

According to
legend, it should be

in the possession
of one of the tribes

somewhere here in these jungles.

I wouldn't gamble
too much on a legend.

There are over 50
different tribes

living in that
plague-ridden country.

Some of them are
none too friendly.

Nevertheless, I am
determined to take

my expedition in there,
even without your help.

Well, it's up to you.

When do you want to start?

Just as soon as possible.

I think I can line up a pack
train for you by tomorrow.

Good.

I'll inform the members of
my party to that effect.

Oh, you better put
yours back in the safe.

They're no good to me.

Here.

You keep them until
you find the seventh.

There you are.

What is the Lost
City of the Zoloz?

Centuries ago, when the Zoloz

were a rich and powerful nation,

their country was
ruthlessly invaded.

The high chief gathered
the country's treasures

into their main
city, then covered it

with water by
destroying the dam.

So the population
scattered into the hills.

They broke up into seven
groups, and the leader

of each group was given one
part of this unusual map.

This was done so that
it would be necessary

for all to be together
when they wanted

to recover the treasure
after the invader had left.

Nice idea.

That way, they couldn't
double-cross each other.

Yes, but apparently
the plan didn't work out,

and the treasure has
never been recovered.

Come in, Geoffrey.

I understand from
Singapore Smith

we're starting out tomorrow.

That's right.

I personally don't think
Diana should go with us.

What do you think, Geoff?

I'm inclined to
agree with you.

A jungle is no place for
an attractive young lady.

I'm capable of
taking care of myself

as well as any of you,
and no amount of argument

is going to make
me change my mind!

But listen, Diana --

Save your breath, Byron.

You may be engaged to
Diana, but as her uncle,

let me tell you,
you're only wasting

your time trying
to change her mind.

Any reply yet to
that cablegram I sent?

Not yet, Rusty.

Thanks.

Ready, darling?

Uh-huh.

Sure you won't change your mind

and come sightseeing with us?

Positive, I must get
some letters written

before we leave in the morning.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

See you later, Geoff.

Hello, Devil, old boy.

How are you, huh?

How are you?

All right, fella, settle
down, I got some work to do.

What's the matter, Devil, huh?

What's going on out here?

Oh, we made a mistake.

We thought this was --

What are you fellas
doing in that room?

Well, we --

What's going on up here?

I caught these three trying to

break into Professor
Davidson's room!

Oh, a little second
story work, eh?

I'll lock them up in my office

until the police can get here.

Come on, you, get going.

You bring up the other two.

Nice move, Prescott, but I
guess I can handle them now.

I'm sorry about this,
but I assure you,

it won't happen
in my hotel again.

You need any help,
I'm at your service.

Thank you.

So, the three of you couldn't
handle one man and a dog.

Before you get all worked up,

you might just as well
know, he didn't catch us

until we were leaving
the Professor's room.

I apologize.

Nice work, boys.

I tell you what you'll do.

Get into hiding until we
all leave town tomorrow.

Oh, Mr. Prescott, I was
going up to your room.

This cablegram just
came in for you.

Oh, thank you.

He just looks like had a
lot of trouble to find you.

Hmm, forward, SS
Royal Prince, forward,

Trade Winds Hotel,
Sai Pana, thank you.

Your father taken very ill.

Take first plane to Sai Pana

and contact me for
further instructions.

Uh, where can I find a
Mr. Fenton in this town?

Fenton, Fenton?

Uh, yes, this message
is signed Rusty Fenton.

Oh, Rusty, sure,
everybody knows him.

You go down toward the river.

You will pass warehouse.

First trail on your left, you
take you right into a shack.

I see, thank you.

Yeah?

Are you Rusty Fenton?

That's the handle.

I'm Geoffrey Prescott.

I received this
cablegram at the hotel.

Well, come in!

Say, I sent that
cablegram to Melville.

Right, but it reached
me here in Sai Pana.

Oh, you were on your way
in to surprise Dad, eh?

I came here with
an expedition.

I thought it would
give me a chance

to drop in on my father
and surprise him,

but this message takes
all the joy out of it.

Yes, I know.

Now, I have a native guide
waiting to take you in,

and I'd advise you get there
as quickly as possible.

Can we get through tonight?

Well, it's moonlight, why not?

Fine, I've got some
business to attend

at the hotel first,
and I'll see you later.

All right, the
guide'll be waiting.

But the six keys
are no good to us

until the Professor
finds the seventh.

And then what?

Well, as their guide,

you'll be right there
when that happens.

It's gonna be up
to you to get hold

of that and bring
it back here to me.

Who is it?

Can I see you a
minute, Mr. Smith?

This is Prescott.

What can I do for you?

I'm checking out.

Nothing wrong, I hope?

Oh, no, just
received a message

which makes it imperative
for me to leave right away.

Uh, please see that
Professor Davidson

gets this note as
soon as he returns?

Why, certainly.

Thank you, come on, boy.

Good luck.

Things happen
fast, don't they?

For reasons which
I cannot explain,

I must resign from
the expedition.

I know this will cause
you some inconvenience,

but I have no choice.

Good luck and success.

Sincerely, G. Prescott.

Well, this works out
just perfect for us.

You'll be all right, Dad.

I've studied poisons and their
cures at Melville and I --

There's no use, there's
no cure for the Inee poison.

But Dad, I can --

Now don't talk,
my son, but listen.

There is so much to say, and
so little time to say it.

You learned the tongues
of the jungle people?

I've studied them
as you ordered,

but I'm not too sure
of any of them yet.

That will come with practice.

Now, there's another
thing you must learn:

the secrets of magic as
practiced by the Medicine Man.

Magic?

Yes, there's nothing that
so sways the native mind

as a few simple
tricks and illusions.

Suba will teach you.

Come, give me your hand, my son.

These are the treasures
stored through

the centuries by your ancestors.

Why, there's a fortune
here in jewels and gold.

It's yours, now, to
use against the enemy

who is coming to our jungles
for some mysterious reason.

Now, to the tomb
of your ancestors.

Stay here, Devil.

Over here, my son.

And you solemnly swear before
the tombs of your ancestors

that you will carry
on with the vengeance

against all piracy,
greed, and cruelty.

I swear it.

This ring is the
symbol of the Phantom.

Wear it.

My son, you are now
the ruler and protector

of all the people
in these jungles.

Is that Tonga Village?

He ain't gonna show up.

Get ready to announce his
death to all the tribes,

then we'll have
things our own way.

Master, the natives very
impatient for you to appear.

I am ready, Suba.

I tell you, he
ain't gonna show.

Come on, get going.

Wait til Suba make smoke.

Now smoke come, watch.

Why, that can't
be the real Phantom.

I know I killed him!

This is just a trick
to fool the natives.

Oh no, him
Phantom, him Phantom!

Phantom never dies!

It looks like him to me.

Why, it can't be!

He's a much younger and taller
guy than the real Phantom!

I'm telling you,
that guy's a fake!

I looks like you missed, Long.

Let's tell the natives
that guy's a phony.

Yeah?

And when they ask
us how we know,

we tell him you killed
the real Phantom?

Why you'd have your head
flying over a fire in no time.

Let's get out of here.

Well, Devil, old
boy, so far, so good.

Looks like we got off
to a good start, hmm?

Master, Suba very worried.

What' wrong?

Chota, chief of Mola tribe,
never come to the meeting.

Is that anything
to worry about?

Yes, Mola tribe very bad,
like to fight and kill.

If Chota not come, means he
making ready to start trouble.

Then let's beat
him to the punch.

If he wants war,
we'll give him war.

War no good.

You must go see Chota
and tell him no fight.

All right, Suba, I'll
have Moku take me there.

No, you must go alone.

How can I?

I don't know the jungle.

I'd never find the Mola village.

Moku mark trail for you.

All right, Devil, let's go.

No, you must go alone!

Sorry, old boy, you
have to stay here.

I'm ready, Suba,
show me the trail.

Keep the home
fires burning, boy.

Mola village this way.

Follow trees marked like this.

I sure can't miss those marks.

I'll be back soon.

Get a good tight
tie on that, now.

Well, it looks like we're
about organized, Mr. Smith.

Yes, looks like
everything's perfectly ready.

I've notified the authorities
in all coastal cities

to pick up Prescott if he
tries to leave the country.

Fine, and if
he's in the jungle,

the chances are, we'll run
into him sooner or later.

I can't believe
that Geoff's a thief.

Who else could
have stolen the keys?

I should have known that
he was up to something

when I caught him listening
outside of my room yesterday.

We're all ready to start
any time you are, Professor.

Take good care
of them, Larkin.

Well, good hunting, Professor.

Thanks.

You take, cover mark.

Other the tree.

So.

You fix mark?

All covered.

Good, now he take this trail.

Come, we hide here.

Well, he took the
wrong trail, all right.

Sure, Chota's got ideas.

That trail lead
to Devil's Swamp.

Evil spirit not let him escape.

From high place
in tree, we watch.

Phantom soon be gone.

He'll never get out of there.

Look, alligator!

Well, we don't have to
worry about him any longer.

Come, go to
village, sound drums.

Tell all tribes Phantom dead.

What's going
to be Chota's next move?

Is the Davidson expedition
safe from further attack?

Will the outlaws be able
to disband the safari?

Don't miss The Man
Who Never Dies,

the next exciting
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Professor
Davidson possesses part of the

only map that shows how to
reach the Lost City of Zoloz.

In order to take his
expedition there,

he must find the
missing part of the map.

Singapore Smith, certain
there is a treasure

buried in Zoloz, plans
to double-cross Davidson.

Meanwhile, The Phantom is
trapped by another faction

headed by Dr. Bremmer,
a secret agent

and head of a ring
of foreign saboteurs.

Suddenly...

Phantom soon be gone.

He'll never get out of there.

Look, alligator!

Well, we won't have to
worry about him any longer.

Come, go to
village, sound drums.

Send message.

Phantom make spirit
of swamp angry.

Spirit of swamp kill Phantom.

You sure Phantom dead?

Phantom never walk again.

Go, make drums talk loud!

Him tell all jungle people.

What's wrong, Larkin?

Those drums, they're telling
of the death of The Phantom.

What's that got to do with us?

Well, the porters are
afraid to venture and farther

into the jungle without
The Phantom's protection.

That's nonsense.

We're going through
Mola territory.

You know that tribe's
not to be fooled with.

The Molas haven't
attacked anybody for years.

That's right, but only because

they feared the
wrath of The Phantom.

What do the
porters want to do?

They want us to turn back.

That might not be a bad idea.

We're not going back,
Phantom or no Phantom.

Tell the porters that, Larkin.

Get up!

Do you think the
Molas might attack us?

We might as well
be on the lookout.

Let's get started.

Master!

What happened?

Someone changed the trail so
that it led me to the swamp.

Yes, we find spot where they
cover up knife marks I make.

Must be work of Chota,
or some other Mola man!

I'm starting out again,
right away, for Mola village,

and this time I'm
certain to get there.

Master, much better
you appear first,

and show Tonga people that
jungle drums have lied.

Maybe you're right, Suba.

Come on, Devil.

One more thing, Master.

Me worried about dog.

Tonga people may wonder where
Phantom found such loyal pet.

You're not suggesting that
I get rid of Devil, are you?

Yes, Master.

Call your people together,

and I'll talk to
them from the altar.

People of Tonga, the
drums have lied to you.

Jungle enemies have
tried to make you believe

that the evil spirit of the
swamp had done away with me,

but as you see,
The Phantom lives.

While through the jungle,
I saw this friendly dog

held by the evil spirit
of the sinking sand.

I fought the evil spirit,
and overpower them.

Then I pull him out of the swamp

and brought him
here for you to see.

Sound the drums, and tell
all the jungle tribes

The Phantom is still
a Man Who Never Dies,

and that the peace of the
jungle must not be broken.

Suba.

That's a Mola arrow
that killed this porter.

Take cover!

Your eyesight must be
exceptionally good, Larkin.

I didn't see anything.

Neither did I.

I shot only hoping
to frighten them.

Mola the warriors
fight from ambush.

They usually keep out of sight.

How can you fight
anybody you can't even see?

Right through the chest.

Oh, Byron, this is terrible.

It's getting too hot for me
around here, I'm getting out!

A spear!

They're getting closer!

They'll try and keep
us at bay until dark,

and then they'll close
in on us from all sides.

Looks like our
goose is cooked.

Drums!

What's all that
jabbering about?

Drums are telling them
that The Phantom is alive

and that there must be no
fighting in the jungle.

Well, do those
natives that are

attacking us know that too?

Well, there's your
answer, Professor.

The tribal chief is
calling off his warriors.

Look, there,
through the trees!

Stand aside, let me
take a crack at him!

No, no, please.

Better well enough alone.

Yes, if The Phantom
insists on peace,

let us comply with it too.

Well, you're not
beginning to believe that

Phantom bunk, are you?

Bunk or not, his
orders certainly

got us out of a nasty situation.

I think we can go
on, now, with safety.

Goodbye, old fellow, and
this time, you stay put.

See that he stays
here, and don't worry.

I'm not gonna miss
the trail this time.

He very brave and strong.

He worthy successor
to his great father,

but he has much to learn.

Follow him, and be ready
if he needs your help.

I told you I wanted Davidson
and his party captured,

and I didn't want you
coming back with any

phony excuses about The
Phantom still being alive.

Chota sorry, but drums
say Phantom not dead.

Chota want to go on,
but warriors afraid.

Maybe next time,
Chota do better.

There ain't gonna
be any next time.

I'm going after Davidson myself.

Hey, you guys!

All right, break it
up, boys, come on.

We got things to do.

Come on, come on, let's hustle.

I'm coming.

Phantom!

Phantom come!

Phantom come!

Phantom, Phantom, Phantom come!

Phantom!

Welcome to Mola
village, o great one.

We very happy you
honor us with visit.

Why did you not attend the
meeting of the tribal chiefs?

Evil white men in Mola village
would not let Chota attend.

Are they here now?

No, no, they
leave, go far away.

Chota tell them he no want
such men in Mola village.

Who are they?

Traders?

Chota not know, one day
they come to Mola village.

They stay and make much trouble.

Chota get very angry, and
say he will tell Phantom.

Evil white men fear
Ghost Who Walks,

so they leave, every one.

Chota, you have lied.

No, no, Chota thought
all white men had gone!

Chota never lie to Phantom!

Spirit of fire,
if Chota hath lied,

burn down Mola village!

Oh, Master, Chota
never lie again!

Please tell men to put out fire!

Save Mola village
from burn down!

Put out the fire!

Chota!

Any more white men
hiding out here?

No, Master, he only one
left, all rest have gone.

Where did they go?

They go to meet safari
coming through jungle.

They want to see
what three white men

and pretty girl are looking for.

Where is that
safari heading for?

On trail, to Longa village!

You keep him prisoner
until I return!

Yes.

Remember your orders.

Get the natives first.

All right, boys, scatter
in behind those rocks.

Take cover!

That was a gunshot!

Yes, were not up
against natives this time.

Look, Byron, the bolder
at the edge of the brush!

They killed another one!

You're hit?

It's nothing serious.

Keep firing.

I'm all out of ammunition.

Oh, look, Byron, The Phantom!

Don't be silly!

I don't see anything.

Oh, he's gone!

Give me some shells.

I haven't even got a gun.

Is he dead?

I don't know, but
look at his face.

The Mark of The Phantom.

I'm getting out of here.

I don't want to
tangle with him again.

Come on, Grogan, we're
getting out of here.

I better go back and see
if we have any porters left.

Have the
jungle renegades won out?

Is the Davidson safari doomed?

What are Dr. Bremmer's plans?

Don't fail to see
A Traitor's Code,

the next thrilling
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

The Phantom
discovers that a number of

white outlaws plan to attack
the Davidson expedition.

He manages to rescue the safari

and is pursuing the jungle
desperadoes when suddenly...

Master!

Moku!

How did you happen
to come this way?

Moku out hunting.

Why you come here, Master?

I was chasing some renegades

who had attacked
Davidson's expedition.

Footprints lead
to Mola village.

We follow?

Later.

First, I must make
sure that the professor

and his party are all right.

There hasn't been a
shot now for five minutes.

No.

I'd better check and see
how many men we have left.

You've been wounded,
let me look at your arm.

Oh, it's nothing.

I wonder why they
stopped so suddenly.

Another few minutes, they
would have got all of us.

The Phantom saved us, I
saw him fight with those men.

The Phantom?

Why, that's absurd.

He's only a legend the
stupid natives believe in.

You're upset, my dear.

I let your imagination
get the best of you.

I'm sorry, I must
disagree with that.

We meant no offense.

We sincerely
appreciate you help.

Thanks for rescuing us.

Master, Master!

Moku find three white
men lying in jungle.

Shall Moku kill them?

No, take them to
Tonga village, so
that I may judge them.

Yes, Master.

I suggest you camp
here until I can send you

new porters to take the
place of those you lost.

Wait, I want to ask
you a few questions!

Some other time, I'm certain
we'll meet again before long!

Say, he works
fast, doesn't he?

He reminds me of
someone we all know.

I just can't place him.

Now listen, Chota.

Chota no want to talk to you.

Phantom find you here, he
burn down Mola village.

You go now!

We won't leave here til
you find us a new hangout.

And if you get tough about
it, you won't have to worry

about The Phantom
burning down this joint.

We'll do it ourselves.

No.

Chota say go.

Well, where else in this
jungle can we hide out?

Chota no care.

You go now.

Now, listen to me, Chota,
give us a break, will you?

We've got to find a place.

You go to Blackie's.

Tell him Phantom sent you.

Ghost Who Walk never
look for you there.

Say, that might be smart play.

Okay, Chota, we'll go.

But remember, if The Phantom
shows up, you ain't seen us.

Chota no fool.

Chota no want trouble.

(muffled shouting}Help, help!

Help me!

I'm sure glad you
fellas got here.

You no take him.

Shut up.

Who locked you up in there?

Chota.

The Phantom made him
promise not to let me go.

The Phantom?

Yeah!

Well, I thought he was --

Look at the trademark
he slapped on him.

Well, here's your
chance to make a getaway.

No, you no take him.

Phantom say he stay here.

You said he should
go with us, didn't you?

He go with you.

Well, what are
you waiting for?

You want to keep
on living, Chota,

you better not try to follow us.

No, wait!

We fix him other time.

80 cases of ammunition.

Check.

20 cases of hand grenades.

Check.

200 rifles.

Check.

Oh, Miller, come in.

Hello, Doc.

Meet Count Silento.

How do you do?

How do you do?

Miller's one of my best
and most valuable aids.

He's the manager of
the Trade Winds Hotel.

An excellent spot to pick
up information, I'd say.

Silento's bringing us the
weapons to arm the natives with.

Oh, that is good news!

Yes, in a few days,
there'll be so much fighting

in the jungle, no white
man will dare to enter it.

But I hear there's a
Professor Davidson in there now.

Aren't you afraid he
might stumble onto
your secret airbase?

I am certain that he's
already returning to Sai Pana.

Dead or alive?

Either way is
all right with me.

I wonder how much
longer we'll have to

sit around this place.

Hello?

What's this?

I bring new porters,
like Phantom promise.

Excellent!

Assign them their packs,
Larkin, and we can start again.

All right.

Tell your master we
appreciate his help.

Phantom say Moku
guide you on journey.

That's fine.

But Mr. Larkin is guiding
us to Longo village and I --

You'll be in good hands
with this man, Professor.

He knows the jungle
better than I do.

And with this arm of mine, I --

Yes, yes, of course.

You'd better go back to Sai
Pana and have it attended to.

Mr. Smith ordered me
to stay with you, but --

Oh, don't worry about that.

I'm sure we can manage
for a while without you.

You'd better go.

Thanks.

I'll try and rejoin you
at the Longo village.

Take one of the porters
to carry your belongings.

All right, I will.

Can we reach the
Longo village by night?

No, too far.

Tonight camp at Blackie's.

Who's Blackie?

He trap animals for Rusty,
good man, friend of Phantom.

Very well.

Get your porters loaded
and we'll be on our way.

You know, there's one
thing that's got me worried.

Yeah, what?

Suppose The Phantom
should make Chota tell him

that we took this trail and
are heading for Blackie's?

Well, that'd be
just too bad for us.

And I ain't anxious
to meet him again.

Phantom!

Phantom!

Phantom!

Phantom come!

Phantom!

Phantom come!

Phantom!

Welcome, o Ghost Who
Walks, Man Who Never --

I have no time
for any palaver now.

Where's that man I
asked you to hold?

Where is he?

He escape, he found gun and --

Yeah, you lie.

No, Master.

May my staff become a
serpent if Chota lies.

Where is he?

Other white men come back,
find him, then take him away.

They take trail to Blackie's.

Chota tell truth now!

We shall see.

Pick up your stick!

Now I know you
spoke the truth,

but should you ever
lie to me again,

you shall all suffer for it!

Master!

Oh, Master!

Why did you leave
the professor's party?

I told you to stay with them!

Professor and friends
prisoners at Blackie's place.

At Blackie's?

Yes, Master.

Moku take safari there.

Blackie very glad,
start cook feast,

then bad men come, kill
Blackie, kill porters!

How far is it to
Blackie's from here?

If hurry, can get
there by sundown!

Then let's not waste time!

With old Blackie
out of the way,

what do you say we take
over his fur business, eh?

You can have it, Marsden.

Yeah, I'll say.

Look, man on guard.

Moku shoot.

No, don't kill him.

Moku use thunderhead
arrow, see?

Look, Professor, he's
been hit with an arrow.

Phantom!

Thank Heaven you got here!

Where's your niece?

In that last
hut, but they have

a native woman guarding her!

Where's the rest of his gang?

In Blackie's hut,
the one on stilts.

Hurry up, Moku, and wait
for me near that last hut.

Hey, am I hearing things?

Master, Master!

Take them into the jungle!

You stay out here to
keep your eyes peeled.

Beat it, Kriss, natives!

Stop!

And this one'll take
care of The Phantom!

Will the
saboteurs rule the jungle now?

Will Professor Davidson
learn of Larkin's treachery?

What brings this man
of mystery to Sai Pana?

Don't miss The
Seat of Judgement,

the new breathtaking
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Fearing
that Professor Davidson

and his associates will
learn of his secret plans,

Dr. Bremmer has his men
capture the expedition.

The Phantom comes to the rescue

and gives battle to the
enemy when suddenly...

Beat it, Kriss, natives!

Stop!

And this one'll take
care of The Phantom!

I guess we gave the
natives the slip, all right.

Don't shoot!

It's me, Grogan!

How'd I know it was you?

Well, we gotta
get out of here.

We'll head back to Sai Pana

and tell Bremmer
The Phantom's dead.

He's certainly gonna
be madder than a hornet

when he hears we didn't get
those keys from Davidson.

How could we get them
when he didn't have them?

Wait!

We can't leave The
Phantom like this!

But, my dear!

He saved us, and we
have no right to run away!

Come on, Byron, let's
go back and help him!

And get ourselves killed?

All right, I'll go myself!

Master!

Master!

I was afraid they
might kill you!

Remember the legend?

The Phantom is the
Man Who Never Dies.

Again we are to
thank you for --

Right now, you must
get to a place of safety.

Well, where do
you suggest we go?

Come to Tonga village,
from there I can --

Nonsense!

It'll be safer to
return to Sai Pana.

It's too far from
here to make it

without supplies or porters!

He's right, Byron.

Follow me!

What are your plans
now, Professor?

Frankly, I don't know.

I'm undecided whether
it's worthwhile

to go on without our map.

What map?

We had six pieces of
ivory known as "keys,"

which, when formed into a map,

show the location of
the Lost City of Zoloz.

If that fellow Prescott
hadn't stolen it,

we wouldn't be in this quandary.

Who is Prescott?

He was the fourth
member of our party.

He stole the keys
and disappeared

the night before
we left Sai Pana.

What makes you so sure that
this Prescott was a thief?

He and the keys
disappeared at the same time.

Even so, I don't believe
Geoffrey stole them.

An honest man
wouldn't have left

so suddenly without
saying a word.

Are you certain
he didn't leave you

a message explaining
why he went away?

I inquired about
that at the hotel,

and was told he
positively hadn't.

I still think you were
wrong to have Singapore Smith

swear out a warrant
for his arrest.

Master, it is time
to judge the three

white men who
attacked expedition.

Bring them before
the Seat of Judgement,

that they may have a
fair and open trial.

Why did you attack
the expedition?

Answer me!

We were paid to do it.

Who hired you?

A guy from Sai Pana.

His name is Andy Kriss.

Why did he want you to assault
the professor's expedition?

He didn't tell us,
and we didn't ask.

Why don't you stop gabbing
and throw the book at us?

Very well, here's my judgment.

You shall be set free presently
to return to Sai Pana.

But if you ever again enter
this section of the jungle,

your lives will be forfeited
to the Tonga tribe.

Guards, these
prisoners will be taken

to Sai Pana trail and released!

Why, he almost a king,
with power of life and death!

Master.

Was it wise to free those men?

Yes, Suba.

I'm certain they'll lead me to

the man who is in
back of all this.

That's why I'm
leaving for Sai Pana.

Sai Pana?

I must find the man
who paid those hirelings

to assault the
Davidson expedition.

Suba understands.

Good.

I won't be gone for long.

Oh, uh, and the guests.

I leave them in your care.

You needn't say where I've gone.

And you say you're
positive The Phantom is dead?

No one could come out
of that explosion alive.

But you failed to get
the keys from Davidson?

I told you, I searched
every one in his expedition,

and none of them had anything
that even looked like them.

I can't understand that.

Long saw Singapore Smith give
them to Davidson at the hotel.

Maybe the old
crook double-crossed

the professor and stole
them back later on.

Well, I hadn't
thought of that.

Well, come in, Count.

Count Silento, meet Andy Kriss.

Hello.

Hi.

Kriss is the man I sent
off to convince Davidson

it would be unwise for his
expedition to continue.

Did the professor
accept your advice?

I think we
stopped him from any

further desire to
go into the jungle.

I have some good news also.

The munitions arrived
safely and can be

picked up at the warehouse.

That's fine.

Kriss, get your
boys together and

pick the stuff up at
the warehouse tonight.

Get them into the
jungle right away

and start arousing the natives.

Right.

Who is it?

The Phantom, Rusty.

Well, come in!

Well, what are you
doing in Sai Pana,

and why in this disguise?

There's someone here in
town anxious to get rid

of The Phantom and
stir up the natives.

That's why I came
in this outfit.

And the name is Walker.

Mr. Walker, at your service.

Now, who do you suspect?

Well, maybe I'll be able
to tell you about that later.

Meanwhile, I want to
leave Devil here with you,

while I pay the thieving
Smith a surprise visit.

All right, I'll
take care of the dog.

Devil, you stay with Rusty.

See you later.

You bet, and mighty good luck.

I hope I'm not
intruding, Mr. Smith.

Who are you?

What do you want?

My name is Walker.

I'd like to have a
look in your safe.

Certainly.

I'm always glad to open
my safe for strangers.

Now will you open the safe?

And keep your trap shut!

All right.

There's the money.

Lay it on the floor.

Take everything out and put
it down beside the money.

Have another one,
Larkin, it's on the house.

I'll take a raincheck.

I gotta go in and
talk to Singapore.

Now wait a minute,
and I'll go in with you.

Insurance policies.

Put them down.

Hope Singapore
is in good humor.

Afraid you're gonna
be disappointed.

He's had a grouch on all day.

There's everything
I've got in the safe.

Now take what you
want and get out!

You haven't shown
me what I came after yet.

Take out that little box.

Just what did you
come after, mister?

Take off those
blinkers, and maybe

you can see what
I've got in my hand.

Where's my gun,
I'll go after him!

Better not, he's a tough baby!

Hey, who is the guy,
and what'd be come for?

I don't know, I
never saw him before!

Anyway, he didn't get anything.

Ho, hup, ho, ho!

Back you cart
in here, Marsden.

We'll get the stuff out.

All right, boys, this is it.

Everything marked
"canned goods."

Fumigating room.

Danger.

All right, boys, let's
get this stuff out.

Hey, who uses this room?

Rusty Fenton, he
fumigates his furs in here.

Nice-looking skins.

Come on, give me a hand.

Yeah.

What's the matter, boy?

Well, that's what I
call service, Rusty.

And does Devil
know your footsteps.

How are ya, fella?

How'd you come out?

Eh, no luck.

Better sit down
and have some supper.

Might as well.

Say, uh, what do they
keep in that old warehouse

at the edge of the
clearing, Rusty?

Oh, most everything, I guess.

I've got some furs there myself.

Why?

Oh, I saw some fellas
carrying out boxes

and loading them on an ox cart.

At this time of night?

Yeah.

That's why it
struck me as funny.

Say, those furs of
mine are valuable.

I better get over there and
see if they're all right.

Okay, I'll go with you.

No, Devil, you stay here.

We'll be right back.

It ain't furs they're loading.

Now what are you
trying to do, kill me?

Oh, shut up, those
guns ain't loaded!

No, but if this crate
was loaded with dynamite --

Well, I wouldn't
have dropped it.

Come on, grab ahold, let's get

this load of rifles out of here.

Rifles, eh?

I've seen those men before.

They're members of a
group that's trying

to destroy the
peace of the jungle!

They'll do it,
too, if they ever

get guns to those natives.

It's up to me to
see that they don't.

From here on, I
work as The Phantom.

Rusty, you slip around and
cover the men at the cart.

I'll get into the warehouse
and cover the others.

All right.

We'll never get all
this stuff in one cart.

I'll say we won't.

With a little luck, we can
make three trips this week.

Hold it!

Get your hands up, up high!

Stop where you are!

Reach!

Bring them in, Rusty!

Come on.

Come here, Rusty,
and take their guns.

Let me at him.

Wait.

You'll arouse the townspeople.

We'll get rid of
him the quiet way.

Where's the other guy?

He's out cold.

Now all you gotta do is
turn that little valve.

I guess that'll
take care of him.

All right, boys, let's finish
loading and get out of here.

Who'll be able
to stop Dr. Bremmer now,

and what will become
of the Davidson safari?

Don't fail to see
The Ghost Who Walks,

the next thrill-packed
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

In an
effort to solve the theft

of the ivory keys, The
Phantom disguises himself.

In doing so, he learns
of a gunrunning plot.

Alone and outnumbered
many times,

he attempts to stop the
outlaws when suddenly...

Let me at him.

Wait.

You'll arouse the townspeople.

We'll get rid of
him the quiet way.

Where's the other guy?

He's out cold.

Now all you gotta do is
turn that little valve.

I guess that'll
take care of him!

All right, boys, let's finish
loading and get out of here.

Get ready to
pull out, Marsden.

Okay, boys, let's
get out of here.

What are you doing here?

Where's The Phantom?

Rusty, they get away?

I'm afraid they did.

I've been waiting
over an hour.

What held you up?

Phantom.

Kriss, you told
me you took care

of him at Blackie's place.

I can't understand how he
got out of that explosion.

What happened
at the warehouse?

The Phantom and
Rusty jumped us

while we were loading the stuff.

There was a fight.

And then what?

We overpowered the
mysterious, strong man

and put him to death
in Rusty's gas chamber.

Well, that's fine,
but what about Rusty?

Why worry about him?

If he was working
with The Phantom,

there's some tie-up
between them.

He'll tell the whole town we're

running guns into the jungle.

Kriss, see if you can go and
take care of him, will ya?

You head for Amda Gorge.

Porters will meet you
there to unload the cart

and carry the stuff
into the jungle.

But I want you to hurry so
you'll get there by morning.

Right.

Why would they want to
run guns into the jungle?

There's only one
answer to that.

They're trying to stir up
trouble among the natives.

I know, but for what reason?

I don't know, Rusty.

But it's my duty to find out.

What's the matter, Devil?

Trouble?

No, don't put that light out!

Come here, Rusty.

Want to show you something.

Three bullet holes,
right through his skull.

Boy oh boy, was that
fast thinking on your part.

Did you recognize him?

Well, his face in that
window light, how could I miss?

He's one of the men that
jumped us at the warehouse.

Who does he work for?

Well, that I don't know.

Well, then, suppose
you try and find out?

Now that he thinks you're dead,

he may come out into the open.

I'll leave Devil here with you.

You can send a message
by him as soon as

you find out who the
killer's working for.

Yeah, but where will you be?

I'm going to Tonga
village to get Moku

and some of the natives
to help me find out

where those guns
are being moved to.

All right.

Not this time, Devil.

You stay here with Rusty.

I can't see any sense of
sitting around here another day.

I'm getting fed up with it.

But we have no choice.

Nonsense!

We started out into this jungle

to find the Lost City,
and The Phantom told us

the guide would provide
us with porters.

He did, they were killed!

So let him get us some more.

How about that?

Phantom say not to give new
bearers until he come back.

Where'd he go?

Moku not know.

I think you're lying.

Moku obedient to Phantom!

Supposing I go
into Sai Pana myself

and see if I can find Larkin?

He doesn't round
up some new porters

by this time, I'll
get some of my own.

But Byron!

Or did The Phantom
tell you not to

let us go into Sai Pana either?

Phantom not say.

Okay, then guide me there.

I'll be ready in ten minutes.

Wait a minute.

That sacred bird!

You not kill!

Mind your own business!

Better see who's
doing that shooting.

Bird fly away.

You tell me once more what
to do and what not to do,

and I'll use this on
you, you understand?

Now, get going.

It's that fellow,
Byron, and a native!

Who's Byron?

One of the guys of
the Davidson outfit.

He was at the village
when The Phantom

kicked us out into the jungle!

We could use that
gun he's packing.

And how!

Well, let's get it.

Come on.

Let's finish this guy off!

The Phantom!

Let's get out of here!

Better get that rifle.

Not me, that
native's got a blowgun!

Man who steal rifle dead.

Good work, Moku.

Him dead too?

He's got a very
bad scalp wound.

Drum say porters meet
white man at Amda Gorge,

and carry boxes into jungle!

Yes, I know.

That's the rifles and ammunition

that they took out
of the warehouse!

Take him to Tonga village!

Yes, Master.

If not for you, Moku help
Master at Amda Gorge.

You get it?

Here comes Long.

All right, fellas,
let's get going.

Porters'll be waiting
for us up at the ridge.

The bridge is right around
the bend there, Grogan.

You'd better run up ahead and
see if everything's clear.

This is it.

It's all clear, but
there's no porters here!

Well, that's funny.

They should have
been here by now.

Well, the only thing
we can do is wait.

Wonder what could be
holding up those porters.

Ah, you know how they are.

They'll be along pretty soon.

Hey, where's Grogan?

He was standing at that
bridge a minute ago.

Grogan!

Hey, Grogan!

Grogan!

Hey, fellas, come here, quick!

Where are ya?

Over here.

What happened to him?

Look.

The Mark of The Phantom!

The Phantom?

Why, he can't be --

This just happened, he must
be around here someplace.

Let's scatter and find him.

Must be the guns
for the natives.

Yeah, I wonder
where the gang is.

Over by the bridge, I guess.

Hey, Long!

Marsden!

We sure got
ourselves in a pocket.

I hope you know
where we're going!

We'll get through.

We're pretty close
to the bridge now.

Look, Silento!

What's the matter, Silento?

What happened?

Where is he?

Where's who?

The Phantom!

The Phantom?

Are
the jungle renegades

now safe from justice?

And who can step in to
thwart the plans of Bremmer?

Learn the answer
in Jungle Whispers,

the next exciting
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Byron
and Moku, on their way

to Sai Pana, run into an ambush.

The Phantom rescues them,

and learns of the
gunrunners' plans.

He races to forestall them at
Amda Gorge when suddenly...

We sure got
ourselves in a pocket.

I hope you know
where we're going.

We'll get through.

We're pretty close
to the bridge now.

Look, Silento.

What's the matter, Silento?

What happened?

Where is he?

Where's who?

The Phantom.

The Phantom?

Well, that's the
end of The Phantom.

Yeah, and Collins
and Paul, too.

Yeah, but how you gonna
get the ammunition across?

Well, we're gonna have
to follow along this bank

til we come to another
bridge or a ford.

It's the only thing we can do.

Well, let's get started.

We'll get out
this way, I guess.

I don't know whether
we can make this or not.

We'll have to give it a try.

Wait a minute, wait a minute!

We'll have to pull this load,
boys, and take it across,

empty it, and load it
again on the other side.

Why don't we fix
some grub first?

Say, that's a good idea.

I'm glad I thought of that.

You better unhitch the oxen,
let them graze around a bit.

Give me a hand, Grogan.

Come on, Silento,
grab a little

of this wood and
we'll build a fire.

All right.

Grab that pin.

Silento!

Silento!

Where'd he go?

I don't know, here's his hat.

Where'd he go?

Look, he's fired
a fuse to the cart!

Hurry up, Grogan!

Look out!

You can't make it, come back!

Well, looks like the
end of the trail for us.

That explosion got Grogan, too.

Well, there's nothing
we can do for him.

I'm getting out of here.

I've had enough of this Phantom.

And face Bremmer
after what happened?

Well, I'd rather do that than
face somebody I can't fight!

Long's right.

We wouldn't stand a
chance in this jungle.

The Phantom would get us
before we ever saw him.

All right, then
let's get out of here.

Zoloz.

I've got to get to Zoloz.

Are you certain
that man said Zoloz?

I'm positive.

Why should a lost
city be so important

to anyone but an archaeologist?

I don't know.

But your expedition which set
out to find it was stopped.

The men who are
moving the munitions

are the same ones
who attacked you.

That means whoever they work for

doesn't want that
place discovered.

I don't see any
reason for that.

Neither do I, yet.

I'm going back to Sai Pana.

Maybe Rusty has something
to tell me by this time.

Well, while you're
there, you might see

what happened to
our guide, Larkin.

Don't want to sit around Tonga

waiting for him for
the rest of our lives.

I'll do that.

In the meantime, please
stay here in the village.

No more running around
the jungle on your own.

Right.

Be back as soon
as I can, Professor.

Good luck.

Well, we did the
best we knew how.

The whole thing just
couldn't be helped.

There's no use
crying over spilt milk.

One thing, however, becomes
more certain every moment.

There are two men who must be
gotten out of the way quickly

if we ever expect to complete
our airfield at Zoloz.

You mean The
Phantom and Rusty?

Certainly, I mean them.

These two are working together,

The Phantom in the jungle
and Rusty here in town.

Both of them know all of
you, and sooner or later,

they're going to
trace me through you.

Now, this must not happen.

What do you want us to do?

I want all of you to clear
out of town and go to Zoloz.

Before leaving Sai Pana,
take care of Rusty.

Okay, boss.

We won't miss this time.

You'd better not.

Well, what's the matter?

You know where he
lives, don't you?

Go on, move!

Come on, let's
crowd in on him.

Wait.

Well, Devil, how are ya?

I didn't stay long, did I?

No, see, old
Saw-bones fixed me up.

Yessir.

You and Silento stash
yourself in behind those rocks.

Marsden, cover the
other side of the house.

I'll slip in on him
when you're set.

Right.

What's the matter,
fella, what are you --

Yah!

We must have dropped him.

He ain't shooting.

He got Silento, huh?

Yeah.

Want you to take this
note to The Phantom.

You be careful on your way, son.

Stay here.

Good boy, over!

Marsden!

So you finished him off, eh?

Hey, Kriss!

The Phantom's dog
just left here.

What'd you let
him get away for?

Well, I took a shot at
him, but I missed, but,

only had a piece of paper
tied around his collar.

Trying to get a message
through to The Phantom.

Well, ain't that just ducky?

What do you mean?

Oh, I get it!

We lay here and wait for him!

Did you ever hear
of a booby trap?

Marsden, tie that
guy up hands and foot.

Bring that rack with you,
I'll show you a trick.

Okay, Kriss.

Tie your end to that trigger.

Okay.

Take this end, you
tie it onto his belt,

and you take all
the slack out of it.

And when The Phantom comes in,

first thing he sees is the guy
laying there on the ground.

He wants to know
what's wrong with him,

so the first thing he does,
turn him over, like this.

Boom, that takes
care of both of them.

Okay, Long, we'll try it.

Cock that shotgun, and make
sure there's no shells in it!

You ready?

Yeah.

Okay.

She clicks!

That's it.

Load her up!

Okay, let's get out of here.

All right, let's
get out of here.

You stay here, fella.

Rusty, Rusty!

Here fella, here fella!

Rusty, Rusty!

Have the renegades

and saboteurs joined forces?

Will outlaws rule
the jungle now?

See what happens in
The Mystery Well,

the next action-crammed
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Doctor Bremmer plans

to dispose of Rusty
and The Phantom.

With Rusty as the
come-on, a trap is set,

and The Phantom
unknowingly walks

closer and closer to his doom.

You stay here, fella.

Rusty, Rusty!

Here fella, here fella!

Rusty!

Nice work, boy, nice work.

Rusty, come on, Rusty!

I fell down the, Phantom?

What was that --

Never mind,
everything is all right.

Who tied you up?

Who's responsible for this?

Well, I don't know,
I was shooting it out

with Kriss and his gang, and --

Did you find out
who they work for?

Yeah, they hang around
the Trade Winds Hotel

most of the time, I
think Singapore Smith

could answer a lot of questions.

Well, I'll pay
Singapore Smith a visit.

Oh, my head.

Now, suppose we
get to the point.

I know that you have six
of the seven segments

or keys which make a map showing

the location of the
Lost City of Zoloz.

I want them.

Try and get them.

Well, I have no objection to

putting us on a business basis.

Will you sell them to me?

That all depends.

All right.

Shall we say $5000?

Don't be ridiculous.

What's $5000 for a chance
to find some real treasure?

All right, I'll make it 20,

and you can take it or leave it.

You'll have to do
better than that.

Didn't you hear
me say 20, Rocco?

That's what it
sounded like to me.

Okay, give me the money.

Now I'll take the keys.

I haven't got them here.

What do you mean, you
haven't got them here?

You don't think
I'm silly enough

to keep them around
where guys like you

can get them without a payoff?

Well, where did you put them?

You know that little house
I own out at the end of town?

Of course.

Well, they're hid
under the fourth

stepping stone leading
to the back porch.

Now, you wouldn't lie
to me, would you, Smith?

Why should I?

You paid me more than
enough to make it

worth my while to
tell the truth!

A bullseye.

You fool.

I told you to wait until
I gave you the signal.

Found out what
you wanted to know.

You didn't need him any longer.

Supposing he lied?

I wanted to play
safe, have him take us

to the place where
he hid the stuff.

He didn't lie.

Not for 20 grand.

For your sake, I
hope you're right.

Now get over there and find out.

Right.

Oh, I saw you
come in this office.

So you got him after all, huh?

I might as well find
out who you are.

Take off those glasses.

Then I'll take them off myself!

Now you listen to me.

I didn't attack Smith.

Yeah, I suppose
he'll back you up.

I'm sure he will, as soon
as he regains consciousness.

Well, since you're so
anxious to clear yourself,

I better go fetch
the doc so he can

bring Smith out of his stupor!

Do I look foolish
enough to let you go,

so you can bring the police?

Ring for the houseboy.

Now, when that houseboy gets
here, no monkey business,

like having him
tip off the police.

Come in.

You ring?

I want you to
go to Dr. Bremmer

and tell him to
come here quickly.

Mr. Smith needs his attention.

Me go, big hurry up.

Introduce me to Dr. Bremmer
as Walker, understand?

Help me put Smith on the couch.

Don't tell me, I know
they weren't there.

No.

You self-satisfied bonehead.

All you had to do
was obey my orders.

Then we could have
made Smith take us

to where he really
hid the stuff.

But Doc, I thought
I was helping you!

You thought?

Since when have I
paid you to think?

All you're supposed to do
is follow my instructions.

But no, you wouldn't do that.

You had to kill a
man, with a knife.

Now, Doc, don't, Doc!

No, Doc!

No, don't, Doc!

Please, no!

Dr. Bremmer, Dr. Bremmer!

Who is it?

Houseboy from hotel!

Mr. Miller say for you to
come to Mr. Smith's office!

He very sick!

You say Miller sent you?

Oh, yes, he say for
you to come very quick

to save the life of Mr. Smith!

All right, I'll be right over.

That houseboy saved you live.

Gee, glad Smith ain't dead.

Now maybe you can
get him to tell

the truth about those keys.

Maybe.

Hey, wait a minute!

You might be
walking into a trap.

I'm way ahead of you.

Ah, Singapore Smith
is plenty tricky.

I know that.

Take a couple of boys
and go to the hotel.

If I'm not out of Smith's
office in 20 minutes,

knock on the door.

Okay.

From now on, what you say goes.

Let me hear you say it.

Mr. Walker and
I found Singapore

right over there with a
knife wound in his back.

Say it again.

Mr. Walker and
I found Singapore

right over there with a
knife wound in his back.

Fine, don't forget.

Smith, Singapore!

Dr. Bremmer,
this is Mr. Walker.

How do you do.

Mr. Walker and
I found Singapore

right down there with a
knife wound in his back.

Singapore, stabbed?

I hope you can bring him
out of his coma, doctor,

so we can learn the name of
the man who attacked him.

His condition's very serious.

You men better wait outside.

Uh, maybe you're
right, doctor,

but I can't afford
to miss anything

Smith may say when he comes to.

No time to argue,
now, I'll do what I can.

Under the
circumstances, it'll be

a miracle if he
ever speaks again.

Smith, can you hear me?

Smith?

(mumbling}I didn't tell him.

I didn't tell him.

I didn't tell him.

He's out of his head, you
can't depend on what he'll way.

This will relieve him, though.

Here, Smith.

Smith.

I'll get another dose.

What are you trying to say?

Didn't tell him,
I didn't tell him!

In his condition, you can't
believe anything he'll say.

I didn't tell him.

Didn't tell him what?

About keys.

I fooled him!

I fooled him!

Fooled whom?

Told him, keys
under stepping stones.

Whom are you
trying to talk about?

Talking, talking about --

Let me get in this.

Yes, Smith?

Where are the keys, the keys?

Where are the keys?

In back of --

Yes, back of what?

Back of warehouse.

Smith, Smith!

Singapore!

If it's any
consolation to you,

the medicine wouldn't
have done him any good.

Now, what did he mean by
"keys" and "warehouse?"

Nothing that
would interest you.

Oh?

Too bad he didn't
name the murderer.

By the way, I imagine
the authorities

will want to question you.

I am well aware of that.

Wait a minute.

I hope you forgive
me for this, doctor.

You can open the
door after I leave.

You ain't leaving!

Drop that gun and
put up your hands.

Come on, open up!

Evening, gents.

Oh, I'm sure glad
to see you fellas.

Here's the fella that
murdered Singapore Smith!

Turn him over to police!

With pleasure.

I'll get my fun.

Wait a minute, wait a minute!

Why waste your time chasing him?

He'll go to the warehouse
searching for the keys.

Oh sure, that's right!

He stuck up Singapore
Smith once before,

and that's just
what he was after!

Give him a chance
to get there first.

If he finds the
keys, you'll be there

in plenty of time to
take them away from him.

Whatever you say, boss.

All right.

You stay out here while
Braddock and me search inside.

Light that lamp, Braddock.

It's The Phantom.

I got him cornered
in that old well.

You two keep your
guns on him from here

and I'll slip around
through the brush.

Right.

Must have dropped him.

Come on.

That must have sent
him to the bottom!

Yeah!

And I'm gonna make
sure he stays there!

Come on, give me
a hand with this!

Get that other side!

Is Diana going to be

the ruthless Bremmer's next victim?

Have the saboteurs turned
against their leader?

Learn the answer in
In Quest of the Keys,

the next dynamic
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Dr. Bremmer
fails to learn the hiding place

of the stolen ivory keys
from Singapore Smith.

When The Phantom finds
them, Bremmer's men

close in on him, suddenly...

It's The Phantom.

I got him cornered
in that old well.

You two keep your
guns on him from here,

and I'll slip around
through the brush.

Right.

Must have dropped him.

Come on.

That must have sent
him to the bottom!

Yeah!

And I'm gonna make
sure he stays there.

Come on, give me
a hand with this.

Let's see you try to
get out of that, Phantom!

Well, that's the end of
the Man Who Never Dies.

Yeah, Bremmer
will sure be proud

to know The Phantom's done for.

Yeah, but what about the
keys we came here to find?

Well, you look for
them if you like.

Braddock and me have done enough

for what Bremmer's paying us.

Yeah, you said it.

Now, listen, let
me handle this.

I know Doc better than you do,

and I think I can keep
him from blowing up.

Great news, chief, we
knocked over The Phantom.

The Phantom?

Well, Long and Kriss told me

they took care of
him at Rusty's shack.

Well, we're not responsible
for what they say.

All I know is, he showed
up at the warehouse.

Yeah, we cornered
him in the old well

and buried him in it.

Huh.

Wonder what he was
looking for there.

Keys, maybe.

Could be.

Looking for them without
knowing where to start

is like hunting for a
needle in a haystack.

Which means that you
didn't find them, either.

What happened to the man
that held us up at the hotel?

Never showed up.

I don't think that fella
was looking for the keys.

No, he was likely
looking for the cash

that Smith keeps in his safe.

Well, all right.

Now, I want you all
to get ready to leave

with me for Zoloz
in the morning.

I thought you
wanted us to take care

of the Davidson expedition next?

No, I'll drop
in on them myself

at the Tonga village and
discourage the professor

from continuing his search
for the seventh key.

Yeah, but suppose they
don't scare so easy?

I'll have to try some
other way, that's all.

This stove throws
a lot of heat.

Yeah.

What's the matter, Rusty?

Having trouble with
that jigsaw puzzle?

Hey, look, I got it!

Six pieces fit
together perfectly.

But there's a hole
in the middle.

Right, our next job is
finding that missing segment.

Ah, I get it.

Without that missing segment,

you couldn't find Zoloz, right?

That's it.

Somehow, somewhere,
we'll find it.

At least Professor Davidson
will be happy to get these.

Uh-huh.

By the way, before I
forget, what became of Larkin?

Oh, he left the old
village today with supplies

and porters to rejoin Professor
Davidson's expedition.

Good.

Well, thanks for
everything, Rusty.

Oh, you're welcome,
and a lot of good luck.

Come on, Devil.

Phantom!

Coming!

Suba!

Phantom come!

All right, Suba.

Welcome, stranger!

The natives say you always
return when you're needed most.

I believe them now.

Anything wrong?

Only that I was left behind.

What do you mean?

Well, my uncle
and Byron wouldn't

wait for you any
longer and they left

a while ago for
the Astari village.

What'd he go there for?

Professor, him
say must see Zarka.

Your natives here told
Uncle about that old chief

who can remember
so many years back.

I see.

He thinks Zarka may
be able to tell him

something about the missing key.

That's it, exactly.

So he pulled out as
soon as Mr. Larkin

returned from Sai Pana.

I'm sorry he
didn't wait for me.

But he bet you'd catch
up with him on the trail.

Then I better
not disappoint him.

Come on, Devil.

Hey, wait a minute.

Isn't that Geoffrey
Prescott's dog?

I don't know, I found him lost

in the jungle and
we've become pals.

Then how did you
know his right name?

It says so on the collar.

Oh.

You know, I often wonder
what's become of poor Geoffrey.

We haven't heard of him since
Uncle accused him of robbery.

I'm sure I wouldn't
know, but I can assure you

he didn't steal those keys,
because I recovered them

from Singapore Smith last night.

Oh, I'm glad.

I'm glad for Geoffrey's sake.

I can hardly wait to tell Uncle.

I'll tell him for you.

Oh no, take me with you.

The only reason he left me here

was because you weren't
with the safari.

I'm sorry, Diana,
you're safer here.

Suba, I'll leave Ms.
Palmer in your care.

Now, wait here, all of you.

I'm going into the Tonga village

and talk to that
stubborn professor.

Throw a scare into him for me.

I don't care
what you say, Suba.

Phantom or no Phantom, I'm
going to try and join my uncle.

Phantom say you stay here.

Well, The Phantom has no
right to tell me what to do.

Ghost Who Walks
is law in jungle.

Dr. Bremmer!

Ms. Palmer.

Well, I'm certainly
glad to see you.

Well, what are you doing here?

Well, I was on my way
to the Longa village,

I just thought I'd drop by
have a word with your uncle.

Well, you're just
a little too late.

He and The Phantom
are on their way

to visit the Astari tribe.

You say The Phantom's
with the safari?

Are you sure?

Well, yes.

He left here a short while
ago to join him on the trail.

Well, in that
case, if I hurry,

I might be able to
catch them before

they pass my turn off
for the Longa village.

Please take me with you.

Why didn't you
go with your uncle?

Well, he wouldn't let me, he
thought it was too dangerous.

Then I'm sorry, Ms. Palmer.

I couldn't take
that responsibility.

But I'll tell your
uncle I saw you.

Goodbye.

Suba!

Yes?

Is it all right
if I go swimming?

Sure, Ms. Palmer, you go swim.

Thank you, Suba.

Hey, here comes
Bremmer on the double.

Something must have happened.

What's wrong, Doc?

Well, you idiots.

I just found out The
Phantom's still alive.

Alive?

Why, that's impossible.

We saw him drown.

You're crazy.

He's taking the
Davidson expedition
to the Astari village,

and if he gets there, all
my plans will be ruined.

Well, what's so important
about the Astari village?

I've got someone set up there
to rule the natives my way.

They're liable to rebel if they

find out The
Phantom's still alive.

Now, we've got to
get rid of him.

Now, the only the way the safari

can get out of this valley
is through Matu Pass.

You, Braddock, and
Watson get there

and blow up the pass
as they come through.

Do you think we can
get there in time?

Porters have to
rest every so often.

You're traveling light, you
can cut in ahead of them.

Go on.

Right.

Now, you three, Davidson's
niece is back in Tonga village,

and she sort of fits
into my scheme of things.

Come on with me.

I'm sorry, but I
have to rest again.

It's a good idea to
rest awhile, Professor,

because from here on the trail
goes uphill to Matu Pass.

How far is the Astari
village from the pass?

We should get
there by tonight.

So far your predictions
have been right, Larkin.

I hope this one is too.

I'm certainly glad you
recovered those six segments.

If we can get the
seventh one from Zarka,

we'll be on our way
to Zoloz by tomorrow.

Well, I hope, for your
sake, that Zarka has it.

Anyway, you owe Geoffrey
Prescott an apology.

I still don't understand why

you didn't bring Diana with you.

She's in no danger
with you here.

Not from the natives.

Our enemies aren't natives.

But Diana's safer
back in Tonga village.

She hasn't seen us, I'm sure.

Now, look, I'll tell you
exactly what I want you to do.

Understand?

Get back in there and keep low.

Ms. Palmer!

Oh!

Oh, Dr. Bremmer,
you frightened me.

I'm sorry.

I'm glad you stopped
to rest, though.

I was trying to
catch up with you.

So you insist on
joining your uncle?

Well, I'm sorry, but I still
can't take you with me.

Well, I'm not
going back to Tonga.

Guess there's nothing much
I can do about it, then.

Well, I wonder what this means.

Just where do you
think you're going?

What business
is that of yours?

Keep your hands off of her!

She fainted, all right,
Doc, just like you said!

Yeah, nice work, fellas.

She'll come to in a minute.

When she does, tell her you
threw my body into the swamp,

or anything you
want to tell her.

Just hold her here, and keep
your eyes open for The Phantom.

The Phantom?

Yeah, I'll send him back
here to pull a rescue.

You get it?

All right, this
time, don't miss.

I'll get some water
to bring her to.

Hey, Davidson!

Professor Davidson!

Why, it's Dr. Bremmer!

Davidson, Ms. Palmer, we
were back on the trail --

Diana?

Yes, yes, I met
her back on the trail

after I came through
Tonga village.

We were attacked, they've
taken her prisoner!

Where did this happen, Doctor?

Back on the trail,
just below the swamps,

only a short while ago!

Then they haven't
gotten very far.

Come on, Devil!

I'll go with you!

No, I better go alone.

You go on to Matu Pass.

I'll catch up with you later.

How long are you
going to keep me here?

We ain't sure, sister.

Say, we ought to be hearing
that explosion pretty soon.

What explosion?

Matu Pass ain't
very far from here,

and they're gonna blow her up.

Go get him, go on!

Go get him!

Look, The Phantom's dog!

Diana, over here!

You stay here!

After I leave, you call
Devil, and call him loud!

All right.

Here, Devil!

Come on, boy!

Hey, did you hear that?

That girl called the dog off!

Oh, now we gotta
round her up again!

Not me, brother!

I don't want any
more of that dog!

Say, maybe that's a
trick of The Phantom's!

I don't want any
more of him, neither!

I'm getting out of here!

You can get out of
here if you want to,

but I'm going to get that girl.

Come on, King.

See where your
stubbornness got you?

I told you to stay
in the village.

I'm sorry.

I better get to your uncle

and stop him from
going through the pass.

I can travel faster alone.

So I'll leave Devil with
you, and you follow behind.

The main trail, up this way.

All right, boys,
run the wire up to

the edge of that hill
and set the detonator.

I'll tap her in.

All right.

Ah, let's hook it up here.

This ought to be far enough.

Hurry up, fellas.

The safari's heading
in close to the pass.

Good.

We're practically set.

Now all you gotta do
is pull that plunger up

and bear down on it when
I give you the signal.

You might hit Braddock!

That's the end
of Braddock, too.

Look!

Bury The Phantom and the
safari at the same time.

You get back to the plunger.

When I drop my hand, let it go.

Get back!

Danger!

Get back!

Is the Davidson expedition

walking into another trap?

Will Bremmer actually become
the ruler of the jungle?

Don't miss The Fire Princess,
the next smashing episode

of The Phantom, at
this theatre next week!

Attempting
to stop Davidson

from continuing
his trek to Zoloz,

Dr. Bremmer's men prepare
an ambush at Matu Pass.

The Phantom, after
rescuing Diana,

races to the pass to
warn the expedition.

Let's hook it up here.

This ought to be far enough.

Hurry up, fellas.

The safari's heading
in close to the pass.

Good.

We're practically set.

Now all you gotta do
is pull that plunger up

and bear down on it when
I give you the signal.

The Phantom!

You might hit Braddock!

That's the end
of Braddock too.

Look!

Bury The Phantom and the
safari at the same time.

You get back to the plunger.

When I drop my hand, let her go.

Get back!

Danger!

Get back!

That ought to satisfy Bremmer.

Yeah, I would strike him
for a raise when we get back.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Look, Phantom alive!

You stay, Moku help!

Master, Moku come help!

You see, Phantom cannot die!

You had a narrow escape, man.

Yes, indeed it was.

The men who are responsible
for this explosion

are the same gang who
attacked you, Doctor.

But Diana, where is she?

Don't worry, she's all right.

I left her back on the main
trail with my dog to guard her.

I had to travel fast, hoping
to prevent this explosion.

Well, how did you
know the explosion

was going to take place?

I overheard some
of the men talking,

who had captured Diana.

You push on.

I'll catch up with
you long before

you get to the Astari River.

I'll go back for Diana now.

Good luck, Doctor.

See you later, Professor.

Come on, Moku.

Oh, thanks!

I won't forget what
you've done for us.

Well, I sincerely hope this
is the end of our troubles,

and that we'll find that seventh
key at the Astari village.

For your sake,
Professor, I hope so too.

Well, I'd better travel on, now.

It's still quite a journey
from here to the Longa village.

Hadn't you better take
a couple of our porters?

Oh, no thanks, I'm an
old hat at the jungle.

This isn't the first
time I've traveled alone.

Good luck, Professor.

Goodbye, Byron.

Bye.

All right, Larkin, let's
get the porters started.

Hi, Doc!

Who was the fool that
talked so loud about

dynamiting the pass so The
Phantom could overhear it?

Well, not us, Doc.

We weren't even
there at the time.

That's just your good luck.

Wait'll I get my hands
on those other morons.

It's too bad you still have
that Phantom to worry about.

I'll take care of
him at the same time

I eliminate the
professor and his party.

It's a good thing
I had the foresight

to arrange a reception for
them at the Astari village.

Can we come along
and see the fireworks?

No, you go back
and join the others,

then all of you go on to Zoloz.

I'll meet you there
in a few days.

Come on, give me a hand, here.

Pleasant journey, Doc!

I'm getting tired.

Let's have a rest.

There's something creepy
about this part of the jungle.

What do you mean?

No sounds, no life,
it's just there.

Don't worry.

Diana will be here
shortly to cheer you up.

I wonder what's keeping
her and The Phantom.

They're traveling
light, they should

have made better
time than we did.

There's nothing
to worry about.

All this territory belongs
to the Astari tribe.

They're very friendly.

I hope you're right.

They've been under The
Phantom's rule for years.

I'm getting hungry.

Let's start a fire and prepare

some food while we're waiting.

All right.

Equipment's here, I
wonder where they are.

That's funny.

Wonder what in the world
could have happened to them.

What's the matter, Devil?

It's Larkin, killed
by a poison arrow.

What's happened to
my uncle and Byron?

We've got to find them!

Arrow shot by Astari warrior.

Are you sure of that?

Be sure, Master, look!

But Mr. Larkin told us that
the Astari tribe was friendly!

We've got to get to the
Astari village at once

to find what's
become of his safari!

Moku, go look for
a canoe or raft!

Yes, Master.

And take Devil with you!

You and I go look this
way, see what we can find.

What do the drums say?

They're calling all Astari
to worship the Fire Princess.

The Fire Princess?

Who's she?

The story goes that, many
years ago, the Astari Tribe

was ruled by a woman known
as the Fire Princess.

They believed her
to be a goddess, a
descendant of the sun.

She ruled them wisely and well,

and they became
all-powerful in the jungle.

Leaving her work on
earth accomplished,

she vanished and returned
to her seat in the sky,

after promising them that,
one day, she would return.

But surely you don't
believe that legend?

Of course not,
but the natives do.

That's why whoever calls herself

the Fire Princess now can
take advantage of them.

She may be responsible
for Larkin's murder

and the safari's disappearance.

Oh, then we must get to
village as quickly as possible!

Look, a canoe!

You prisoners!

What's the meaning of this?

You Phantom, Ghost Who Walks.

That's right, then
drop those spears.

No, Fire Princess commands
we bring you to her.

I'll be taking a
chance on your life

if I try to evade them.

I'll say you would.

Get your hands up
and turn around.

And who are you?

A pickpocket from Brooklyn.

Now get in that
canoe, both of you.

Go on!

What am I supposed to do next?

You just wait
until The Phantom

gets here and then go to work.

Won't you please
change your mind?

You know, it's one
thing to pretend

to be a fire goddess to
fool a bunch of natives,

but another to deliberately
lure a man to his death.

You'll do exactly
as you're told.

And if I don't?

Well, in that case, I'll
be forced to tell the natives

you're nothing but a cheap
dancer I picked up in Sai Pana.

They'll only tear you apart.

All right, you win.

That's better.

Now, once The Phantom's
out of the way,

you're going to rule the jungle,

and you'll provide me
with all the native help

I need to build my
airbase at Zoloz.

Come in.

Well, what is it, Perry?

Your men have
captured The Phantom,

and your boats are
now near the landing.

Very well, you may go now.

Well, so far, so good.

I'd hoped they
couldn't catch him.

Move up against that tree.

Now, young lady, you
can come with me.

Where are you taking her?

To greet her uncle
and her boyfriend.

You'll meet them all later.

I'm afraid of what
they may do to you.

Speak for yourself, John.

The Phantom!

My people, I have
conquered the flames again.

Welcome, o Phantom.

I have waited many
moons for this hour.

Now I know the reason
for my urge to come here.

I, the daughter
of the sun, believe

that you, too, are immortal.

The Phantom is the
Man Who Never Dies.

Prove that to me.

Go through these
flames and come out

unscorched, the same as I did.

Listen to them.

They say you're afraid,
The Phantom doesn't dare.

I'll do it, with the
understanding that,

after I come out, you'll
immediately release my friends.

Your request is my command.

I am ready.

He's one man in a million.

Whom is Bremmer after now,

and what is the mystery
about the Astari chief?

For the answer, don't
miss The Chamber of Death,

the next
excitement-laden episode

of The Phantom, at
this theatre next week!

To get the
Astari tribe under his thumb,

Dr. Bremmer conceives
a fantastic idea.

I'm afraid of what
they may do to you.

Speak for yourself, John.

The Phantom!

That was pretty close.

Now, be sure and don't let

The Phantom out once
I get him in there.

Leave it to me.

My people, I have
conquered the flames again!

Welcome, o Phantom.

I have waited many
moons for this hour.

Now I know the reason
for my urge to come here.

I, the daughter of the sun,

believe that you,
too, are immortal.

Phantom is the
Man Who Never Dies.

Prove that to me.

Go through these
flames and come out

unscorched, the same as I did.

Listen to them.

They say you're afraid,
The Phantom doesn't dare.

I'll do it, with the
understanding that,

after I come out, you'll
immediately release my friends.

Your request is my command.

I am ready.

He's one man in a million.

Thanks, Moku.

The Phantom is dead!

Henceforth, I, and I alone,

shall rule all
peoples of the jungle.

What do you wish done
with the prisoners?

They will be
disposed of later.

Just a moment!

I'm sorry to disappoint
you, but you'll have to

release them according
to our bargain.

You're not the Fire Princess.

Astari!

This woman is a fraud,
and I'll prove it!

Look!

This is the door through which
she escaped from the flames!

Astari!

You've been misled
by this woman!

Are you going to stand for it?

We'll have to get
out of here right away.

What happened?

Everything went wrong.

The Phantom got out of the fire,

and then made a monkey
out of the Princess.

She tell them
anything about me?

No, I let her have it
before she got a chance.

Good, then I can still
accomplish what I came here for.

And if we're going to get
the best of The Phantom,

you've got to do
exactly as I say.

You can count on me, Doc.

Good, come on.

Why don't they hurry
with that stretcher?

Here they come now.

Moku, round up all the
white men in this village.

I want to question them.

Yes, Master.

Wait here, I'll
get some natives.

Over on the pallet!

Thank you.

Don't worry,
you'll be all right.

We're looking for
the man who shot you.

Thank you.

Tell me, who are you?

I'm Ruby Dawn.

I was a dancer in Sai Pana.

You should have stayed there,

instead of attempting
this crazy stunt.

A person has to eat, you know,

and Sai Pana's a tough
place to make a living.

I suppose those white men
in the village are with you?

Yes, the four of us
came here together.

Ask her about Zarka.

There's a chief named
Zarka who rules this tribe.

What's become of him?

He wasn't here when I arrived.

Now tell me the truth.

Who's behind all this?

Who sent you to this place?

Why did you have my
friends and myself

brought here as prisoners?

That wasn't my idea.

Get on in there.

Does anyone here know this man?

I do.

I caught him
trying to sneak out

of the village
just as I came in.

He's the man that
forced us into the boat

after the natives surrounded us!

Pickpocket from Brooklyn, eh?

Keep an eye on him.

You're just in time,
doctor, the girl's

badly wounded and needs
medical attention.

Oh?

This is indeed a surprise!

We thought you were in Longo.

No, I just
returned from there.

I was on my way to
Sai Pana when I heard

the drums telling
of your capture.

I came as quickly as I could.

Well, let's have a look at her.

No, no!

She's fainted again.

She's dead.

I'm sorry, I guess I
didn't get here soon enough.

Moku and Astari
Warriors catch these men.

Good work, Moku.

Put them under guard, I shall
judge them in the morning.

Moku bring important news.

Moku find Chief Zarka.

Zarka, where is he?

Him very sick.

You come, I show you!

Dr. Bremmer, you
better come along,

and the rest of you
wait here, please.

This way, Master.

Come on, fella.

Zarka in there.

Zarka, Zarka,
this is The Phantom!

Too late again.

Poor fellow's dead.

No, him not dead.

When Moku come before,
he hear Zarka groan.

Could it be possible, Doctor,

that he might have been drugged?

Well, that's hardly likely.

Zarka was leader of
a peaceful tribe.

Moku, you're right!

Zarka is alive!

What?

I've never seen a
trance like this before.

You've got to bring
him out of it, Doctor.

Well, I'll do what I can.

It's a matter of finding
the right antidote.

I'll get my medicines.

Moku will get them for you.

No thanks, I'll have to
mix a prescription for him.

I won't be long.

We won't be in here long.

Bremmer'll get us out the moment

he shuts Zarka's mouth for good.

Why didn't polish him
off in the first place

instead of just slipping
him that mickey?

Well, he wanted him
to hold as a threat

over the Fire Princess in
case she stepped out of line.

Who cares about that?

All I'm interested in
is to get out of here!

Now listen, men, I
had to change my plans.

We have to make
The Phantom think

that you escaped and
then abducted me.

Why go to all that trouble?

Because I know
he'll search for you,

but I've got a trap
all set for him.

What makes you so
sure he'll look for you?

The Phantom knows
I'm the only one

that can save Zarka's life.

Nothing like leaving a clue.

Come on.

Clue number two.

He comes through this
door, we've got him.

Through here.

See this rope?

Controls a trap door on
the floor, right here.

When The Phantom hits it,
he'll drop to the level below.

And what's down there?

Just a big surprise for
the Man That Never Dies.

Hey, when'd you rig this up?

I didn't.

I'm just taking advantage
of what the Astari use

for the execution
of their criminals.

Get back in there,
boys, and wait.

Drake, you go to the entrance.

If you see him
coming, let us know.

I just had to come here
to find out how he is.

Don't worry, Dr.
Bremmer just left

to fix the medicine that
should snap him out of it.

He'll have to bring him to.

You know, Zarka is the only one

who can tell us how
to get to Zoloz.

Yes, yes, I know, but this
wait isn't doing him any good.

Bremmer should be back by now.

I'll see what's delaying him.

Bremmer!

Okay, fella, go find him!

Go find Dr. Bremmer!

I just saw The Phantom
and his dog coming this way!

Good.

Get back in, close.

You stay here, Devil.

Oh, when The Phantom gets here

you fellas will pay for this!

Help, help!

Start the windlass.

Will Bremmer
find the missing ivory key?

Are these strange men
another group of saboteurs?

Learn the answer
in The Emerald Key,

the next thrilling
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

To prevent
Professor Davidson

from learning about
the seventh ivory key,

Dr. Bremmer has abducted Zarka,
chief of the Astari tribe.

When The Phantom finds
Zarka, Dr. Bremmer, to avoid

discovery as the ringleader,
carries out another plan.

Nothing like leaving a clue.

Come on.

Clue number two.

He comes through this
door, we've got him.

Through here.

See this rope?

Controls a trap door in
the floor, right here.

When The Phantom hits it,
he'll drop to the level below.

What's down there?

Just a big surprise for
the Man That Never Dies.

Hey, when'd you rig this up?

I didn't.

I'm just taking advantage
of what the Astari use

for the execution
of their criminals.

Get back in there,
boys, and wait.

Drake, you go to the entrance.

If you see him
coming, let us know.

I just had to come here
to find out how he is.

Don't worry, Dr.
Bremmer just left

to fix some medicine that
should snap him out of it.

He'll have to bring him to.

You know, Zarka is the only one

who can tell us how
to get to Zoloz.

Yes, yes, I know.

But this wait isn't
doing him any good.

Bremmer should be back by now.

I'll see what's delaying him.

Bremmer!

Okay, fella, go find him!

Go find Dr. Bremmer!

I just saw The Phantom
and his dog coming this way.

Good.

Get back in, close.

You stay here, Devil.

When The Phantom gets here,
you fellas will pay for this!

Help, help!

Start the windlass.

That tiger will
tear him to pieces.

If he gets out of that,
I'll say he is immortal.

He seems to be
coming out of it.

I wish The Phantom
had stayed here.

Hear Devil bark?

Phantom come back now!

Phantom's not in sight.

There must be something wrong.

Devil say I come with him!

You stay, watch Zarka!

Me go get warriors,
look for Phantom!

The Phantom's dog's
leading the warriors here.

Make a break for it.

I'll meet you
later on the trail.

Hey, Scott, wait a minute.

Help muss me up, I
gotta look manhandled.

Okay, go on, beat it.

Medicine man!

You hurt!

Yes, Moku, fight
with bad white men.

Where is Phantom?

They did away with him.

You ought to know
better, Doctor.

I'm the Man Who Never Dies,
have you forgotten that?

Why, you startled me!

Looks like they
mussed you up a bit.

Yeah, man oh man,
am I glad to see you!

Now, please hurry
and attend to Zarka!

Zarka no need doctor.

Zarka all well again.

That certainly is good news.

Professor Davidson with him.

I'm sure Professor
Davidson is extremely happy,

because Zarka may finally
put him on the road to Zoloz.

My debt to you
is a steel enclave.

What is this information
you seek from me?

Professor Davidson
here is searching

for the Lost City of Zoloz.

He believes that you may be able

to tell him how to find it.

Zoloz?

I remember the
name, but vaguely.

Maybe these will help you.

Now, here are six pieces of
ivory, more or less keys,

which, when put
together, form a map.

Now, this is where the
seventh key belongs.

Long ago, it seems.

I remember now, such
a rare piece of ivory.

Yes, I remember, and it had
a green jewel in the center.

Yes, an emerald!

Can you tell us
where to find it?

Think, Zarka, think!

He who owns this rare piece
will never part with it.

He is a tyrant to be
feared by all men.

Quite a character, isn't he?

You aren't referring to
Tartar, by any chance, are you?

Do not speak lightly
of him, Phantom.

He is the enemy of all
peoples of the jungle.

As far as I'm concerned,
that's just a wild rumor.

But it's, naturally, up to
you, Professor Davidson,

to decide if you want to
go on Tartar's with me.

Will you stay
with the expedition?

Of course.

Then why do we hesitate?

You're right, my dear.

After all we've been through,
I hate to give up now.

You're right not to
give up, Professor.

If I could spare the time,
I'd go right along with you.

Answer the Tartar's call, hurry!

What is the charge?

Noble Tartar, this
miserable creature says

he was lost in the jungle and
passed through unknowingly.

Does it matter
what the fool says?

That is for me to decide.

You may speak.

I know you don't understand
me any better that I do you.

Therefore, I'll
have them show you

what it means to
disobey my orders.

Have him executed.

Listen.

What is it?

Sounds like a signal.

I'd like a chance to reconnoiter

this area before
we go any further.

Devil, you stay here.

No, you've already taken
too many risks for our sake.

Please don't worry,
I'll be all right.

Moku, make camp here
and wait for me.

Yes, Master.

What do you make
of these warnings?

Only that another man is
trespassing on Tartar's domain.

Well, for his sake, I hope

he's not headed for this castle.

Well, if he doesn't come
here on his own accord,

the scouts will pick him
and bring him here anyway.

Close the portal!

Scouts report another man
has entered your territory.

Bring him before me as
soon as he is captured.

One false move and
you're a dead man, Tartar.

I wouldn't do that
if I were you.

My weapon's more
powerful than yours.

I come in peace, I
bear you no evil.

Foolish man.

Don't you know I have anyone

destroyed who trespasses here?

I'm quite certain that you'll

make an exception in my case.

Heh, I admire your courage!

Who are you?

I am The Phantom.

Ah, the Man Who
Never Dies, huh?

Why do you come here?

To ask you for the
jeweled piece of ivory,

the seventh key to
the map of Zoloz.

I've never even heard of it.

I know you have it
in your possession,

and I'm willing to pay
whatever price you ask.

I don't believe you, Phantom.

You don't seem to
have much choice.

Now, do we have a deal, or not?

I am sorry, but it is
you who has no choice.

My lieutenants will escort
you to the execution chamber.

Well done.

Shall we prepare
his execution?

No, not yet.

His friends are near our
border, awaiting his return.

Karak, take some of your
men and escort them here.

Your orders shall be obeyed!

Drava, guard the entrance!

Oh, Phantom, I thought
you'd like to know

your friends will join you soon.

You wouldn't dare touch them!

They're not in your domain!

Hahaha!

You see, unfortunately,
my lieutenant

is very poor on geography.

Why, he can't even
remember our borderlines.

You can't abduct my friends!

You ought to thank
me for delaying

your execution
until they get here!

What's the meaning of this?

What's happened?

The Phantom, Master!

He attacked me and escaped!

You clumsy fool!

Open the portal!

Any sign of The Phantom?

No, and it means my
neck if he isn't caught!

Open up so I can take
a look down below!

Captain, bring
down the portal!

Can the
seventh key be lost forever?

Will Tartar take out
his wrath on Diana?

Don't miss The
Fangs of the Beast,

the next smashing
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Still in
their search for the seventh

ivory key, the Davidson
Expedition enters

the forbidden domain of
Tartar, ruler of Agila.

The Phantom tries to
bargain with Tartar for the

missing segment to the map
of Zoloz, when suddenly...

What's the meaning of this?

What's happened?

The Phantom, Master!

He attacked me and escaped!

You clumsy fool!

Open the portal!

Any sign of The Phantom?

No, and it means my
neck if he isn't caught!

Open up so I can take
a look down below!

Captain, bring
down the portal!

Open the portal, quick!

After him, quick!

Let him go.

Have you lost your mind?

How do you expect to find him

in the jungle in the
dead of the night?

Yeah, but you know what
the Tartar will do to us

when he finds out that we
let The Phantom escape.

Did you forget about Karak,

who's on his way to
capture the safari?

Karak will get The Phantom
when he returns to his friends.

Come on!

Moku worried.

Phantom gone too long.

Probably he and Tartar
have struck up a friendship.

I bet he got the
seventh key from him,

and he's halfway
to Zoloz by now.

I don't know why you
take such a nasty attitude.

The Phantom's doing
all he can to help us.

What is it, Devil?

Maybe him smell animals.

Moku get porters,
scare them away.

Get in shadows,
away from fire!

Get back in there.

Thank Heaven you got here!

Where's Diana?

There in the tent.

Diana.

Diana!

She was there
just a moment ago!

You search over there.

I'll take a look
around on this side.

Professor, over here!

Quick!

Master, bad Tartar men come!

Where is she?

Where's Diana?

Here's her hat.

Why, she can't be far away.

Maybe they take her to Tartar.

I'll try to head them
off, but if I can't,

I'll follow them
back to the castle.

But Moku no like you
go back there alone.

Don't worry, Moku.

Byron, the man who
attacked you is Karak,

leader of Tartar's men.

Hold him prisoner!

Professor Davidson!

Devil, him hurt!

Him hurt bad!

He's been hit on the head.

Seems to be coming
out of it, though.

No word of The Phantom yet?

No, Master.

I hope, for Rapa's sake,
that they soon recaptures him.

No sign of The Phantom.

I'm dead tired.

I can't search for
him any longer.

Don't worry, Karak has nabbed

him and his friends
by this time.

They'll all be here
before sunrise.

I hope you're right.

I'm afraid to face Tartar
and tell him I failed.

Then I'll be glad
to go in with you.

Greetings, gentlemen.

Get inside!

Close the portal!

Tartar'll sure be
glad to see you again!

Master, I have
captured The Phantom!

He is a liar!

I returned here on
my own free will.

If that be the
truth, then you're

either a fool or
a very brave man.

Rapa, you know the
consequences if you lie.

Did you actually capture this
man and bring him back here?

No, Master.

Get out of my sight!

Tell me, Phantom.

Why have you come back here?

To suggest an
exchange of prisoners.

You're holding Miss Palmer,
and I've got your lieutenant.

What do you expect to
gain by that crazy tale?

I'm not in the habit
of abducting women!

Let go of me,
let go of me you --

Not much, you aren't.

Guards, release that girl!

Phantom, please help me!

I'm sorry about this.

Believe me, I gave
no orders to have

this girl captured
and brought here.

Then release her
at once, and let me

take her back to her friends.

Just a moment.

You said something a while ago

about an exchange of prisoners?

Well, that doesn't apply
now, since, by your own

admission, you do not
consider this girl a prisoner.

True enough, but
you must admit,

she does make a
very fine hostage.

Look, Tartar!

I came here originally
on a mission of peace.

I wanted to make a trade
with you for a piece of ivory

that meant nothing to
you but much to me!

So you said.

Yes, but you
refused to believe me,

tried to kill me, and then
sent out to kill my friends.

You know my laws,
those who trespass

my domain must suffer
the consequences.

My only desire is to keep
the peace of the jungle.

Yours, I believe, to be a just
ruler over your own domain.

That's right.

Then why shouldn't we be
allies instead of enemies?

Very well, then,
you shall stay on here

as my guests, not as
my prisoners, until
Karak is returned.

That's fair enough.

I'll write a note to my friends.

They won't release
Karak without it.

How will they know that
you actually wrote it?

I'll seal it with
my signet ring.

All right, you may
write your letter.

Guard, bring pen and paper!

Tartar's mad to break the law

that protected us
all these years.

You're right.

He makes friends with
a few strangers now,

many more may come later.

(laughing}Maybe he's fallen
for the charms of that girl.

Too bad, there's
nothing we can do.

Or is there?

Looks authentic enough to me.

It carries The Phantom's mark.

It's his mark all
right, but it could have

been put there by someone else.

We'll have to take
a chance on that.

It's the only way
to get Diana back.

Karak will be ready to
leave with you presently.

Moku, come here, please!

You called Moku?

Yes.

Your Master wants us to turn
our prisoner over to these men.

They are going to take him back

to where The Phantom and
my niece are now waiting.

Moku understand.

Phantom smart, make
Tartar trade prisoner.

I hope The Phantom
isn't letting

Tartar make a fool of him.

I'll take a chance
on The Phantom.

You gentlemen go with Moku.

He'll turn the
prisoner over to you.

This way.

Judging by what
you just told me,

the men who are
interfering with you

and your friends don't
want you to reach Zoloz.

Very likely they, too, are after

the treasure supposed
to be hidden there.

But my uncle's not
looking for any treasure.

He's searching for the Lost City

in the interests of
science and culture.

And I don't think
that those men

are after any treasure either.

Oh?

How do you figure that?

Simply because, instead
of trying to keep us

from getting it, it
would have been smarter

for them to let us find
it, and then take it away.

Is it possible that they
have already discovered Zoloz

and have found some
secret use for the city?

I'm sure you're right.

I've felt that way about
it for a long time.

We have just
returned with Karak.

Good, bring him in.

I thought you said
Karak was alive!

He was when I left him.

He was dead when we found him,

and we had to fight
to take him away.

That's a lie!

Why should I have asked
you to send for him

if I knew he was dead?

Look at the mark on his chin.

That's the imprint
of your ring.

He attacked me, and
I defended myself,

but I know I didn't kill him.

Just the same, I don't propose

to exchange a live
hostage for a dead one.

Then you don't
leave me any choice.

Step back, all of you.

Don't be a fool.

You may shoot me
and some of my men.

What do you think
will happen to you

and the girl when you've
run out of bullets?

All right.

What's your proposition
to let her go?

For the amusement
of myself and my men,

I would like you to
fight my champion.

Powerful Brutus.

All right, Tartar,
but on one condition.

Win, lose, or draw,
this girl goes free.

I agree, I have
no interest in her.

And, in addition,
you will allow

the Professor's safari to
continue on its way, unmolested.

Agreed.

Now, give me your guns.

The contest must be
fair to both opponents.

I give you my word,
you'll be treated fairly.

Rapa, sound the gong, send
in the guards to the arena.

Part for Tartar!

Let Brutus enter!

The seventh key!

Why, Phantom, you're not
losing your nerve, are you?

Stop it, stop it!

Has Byron turned traitor?

And will Bremmer succeed
with his evil plans?

Don't fail to see
The Road to Zoloz,

the next absorbing
episode of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Tartar's men capture Diana

and bring her to his
castle in the mountains.

To gain her freedom,
The Phantom agrees

to fight Brutus,
the savage gorilla.

Part for Tartar!

Let Brutus enter!

The seventh key!

Why, Phantom, you're not
losing your nerve, are you?

Stop it, stop it!

Bravo, bravo, Phantom!

Brutus died!

Brutus is dead!

He's dead?

I'll talk with you in
the Throne Room, Phantom.

Raise the bars!

Come.

This will make it
possible for you

to locate the Lost
City of Zoloz.

It's what you came
looking for, isn't it?

Yes.

You knew all the time
that the missing segment

was hanging around
the gorilla's neck.

That's why you asked me
to fight him, wasn't it?

Of course.

I wanted to make sure you
were truly worthy of it.

Take it.

You won it fairly.

Thank you.

You've kept your word.

Bring sparkling burgundy!

We shall toast to the
success of your safari,

and then, we'll toast my
new lieutenant, The Phantom.

But you promised
to free both of us!

Well, you misunderstood.

The Phantom only
fought to free you.

That was the
understanding, Diana.

I realize now The Phantom
fought Karak fairly,

but since Karak was
my best warrior,

and I must replace him,
why not with the one

who proved himself his superior?

If I can prove that
I did not kill Karak,

would you still insist
upon my staying here?

Well, definitely not.

In that case, you would be
under no obligation to me.

Very well, Tartar.

I think I can convince you.

One of those three killed him.

You lie!

The skull from your signa ring
still shows on Karak's jaw!

I intend to support
my accusation by a test,

which will compel the guilty
man to convict themself.

Proceed with
your test, Phantom.

Watch carefully, Tartar.

As you see, I put the same
amount into each glass.

Now, select any one of them.

You see?

It's harmless to the innocent,

but it will kill the guilty one.

Now, let me see you
three drink your wine.

You heard, drink!

I have nothing to fear.

Now you!

Now you, Rapa.

Drink!

No!

Guards, stop him!

Mercy, Tartar!

Did you show Karak any mercy?

You have condemned yourself,
just as The Phantom predicted!

Do your duty!

No, no!

Try this sometime, Tartar.

The solution I put in the wine
is a great cure for malaria.

Wouldn't hurt a fly.

(laughing}Well, at least
you proved your point.

Phantom, you came
to me as a friend,

and I treated you as an enemy.

Now, when you leave here,
you go as my friend.

At last, Professor, this
puts us on the road to Zoloz.

We won't have any trouble
finding it now, thanks to you.

Well, now that we know
where to find the city,

how are we going to
locate the treasure?

If it's there, we'll probably
find it in the catacombs,

which are indicated on this map.

How long do you
figure it'll take us

to reach Zoloz from here?

What do you think, Moku?

When sun rise, we start.

When sun set, we there.

That means it'll
take a full day.

I suggest we start at sunrise.

Well, I guess I can
wait a little longer.

One thing I want decided
right now, Professor Davidson,

how much of the treasure do
you intend giving The Phantom?

Any part that he may claim.

He deserves the largest share,

after all he's gone
through for us.

I expected you to say
something like that.

I know your interest in
Zoloz is purely scientific,

but please understand that
I'm in it only for the cash.

As far as I'm
concerned, I don't

want any part of that treasure.

That's very generous of you.

And as for you, Byron,
understand once and for all,

that an valuables we
may find will have to be

turned over to the
Melville University,

which financed this expedition.

If the university decides to

reward you financially,
that'll be all right with me.

Thanks.

Well, it's getting late.

I think I'll turn in.

There, you see, right out of

the catacombs,
under the airfield.

But we can't start
construction on the runway

for the planes
until we get natives

to clear out some
of that jungle.

I still think we ought
to get started on this

ourselves instead of waiting
for that day to come.

It's taken us two days
now to lug all this stuff

from the outside and the
tunnels, and the tunnels here.

We staying underground forever?

Save your breath, Rocco.

With this underground
layout, and the extra tunnels

we're pushing
through, this'll be

the greatest arsenal
the world's ever known.

Sure it will.

But they don't send us
an engineer pretty soon,

there's liable to
be a cave-in here.

We don't know anything
about excavating!

Will you let me
worry about that?

Just bring the rest
of that stuff in here.

Why should Byron sneak away
in the middle of the night?

If he wanted to leave us,
why didn't he do it openly?

What is it, Moku?

Moku find tracks,
him go trail that way!

I'll bet he's trying to
get to Zoloz ahead of us!

He hopes to lay his
hands on that treasure

before we even
have a look at it!

I'm afraid you're
right, Diana.

There's no doubt
about it, but I'm afraid

Byron didn't figure there may
be others there ahead of him.

Who could they be?

Possibly those men
who've been trying to

stop us from getting to Zoloz.

Then what do you
think we should do

under the circumstances?

I'll try to head off Byron.

You follow behind.

Moku, you take
charge of the safari.

Come on, boy.

Hurry up, Moku,
let's get moving.

Moku make porters go quick.

See, it'll be a
very short passage.

I don't think it'll
take much timbering.

If we come in there --

Well, well, if it
isn't good old Byron.

What are you doing
here, Dr. Bremmer?

Shut the door, Rocco.

Stick around, pal.

Welcome to Zoloz, Byron.

Come on, sit down,
we'll have a chat.

Go on, get comfortable.

Professor's safari
must have gotten

out of Tartar's
clutches after all.

Yeah, and I can
feel The Phantom

breathing down my neck again.

Will you two be quiet?

Now look, Byron, I want to
ask you a few questions.

Well, Devil, Zoloz at last.

Let's go down and take
a look at it, huh?

Now, don't waste my
time being indignant.

Just answer my question.

Where's The Phantom?

He was with the
safari when I left.

Does he know the
way to Zoloz too?

Sure, Tartar made him a
present of the seventh key,

showing the exact
location of this place.

Probably, The Phantom and
Davidson are on their way now.

Marsden, you and Watson
stand guard outside.

Kriss, take Scott and Rocco
and look through the tunnels.

Hurry up, now.

Well, here's
where we leave you.

Okay, if you see anybody
outside, come in to get us.

We'll be in the catacombs.

Now, look!

I want to know what made
you run out on the safari!

I wanted to be the
first to see the treasure.

What you mean is that
you figured to hide it

before your friends
could get here!

No, I didn't want to
be left out in the cold.

Heh.

Well, you've got possibilities.

Too bad you're not
a mining engineer.

That's what I really need.

As it is, I'm afraid
you know too much.

Go on, get rid of him, Long.

Wait, I may be of use to you!

You?

Yes!

If you need the engineer, I may

be able to help you find one.

Now, don't tell me --

Professor Davidson's one!

Davidson?

Yes, he studied
mining engineering

to help him solve archaeological
excavation problems.

Well, say, maybe we can
talk business after all.

Go on, sit down again, Byron.

So, Davidson studied
engineering, huh?

Keep your eyes
peeled out here.

Watch that trail.

The Phantom.

You're in the wrong
territory, ain't you?

Lift his guns.

Marsden, pull that lever!

Well, that ought to take
care of the Man Who Never Dies.

Yeah, I'll say.

Take a look at Watson.

Come on, we'll get
you in to Bremmer.

Will Byron and
Bremmer now work together?

Has Professor Davidson
reached his goal at last?

Don't miss The Lost City,
the next action-packed

episode of The Phantom,
at this theatre next week!

Eager to
reach the Lost City of Zoloz

before any of the
others, Byron sneaks away

from the expedition
in the dead of night.

The Phantom picks up his trail,

which leads directly into
Dr. Bremmer's hideout.

Now, don't waste my
time being indignant.

Just answer my question.

Where's The Phantom?

He was with the
safari when I left.

Does he know the
way to Zoloz too?

Sure.

Tartar made him a present
of the seventh key,

showing the exact
location of this place.

Probably The Phantom and
Davidson are on their way now.

Marsden, you and Watson
stand guard outside.

Kriss, take Scott and Rocco
and look through the tunnels.

Hurry up, now.

Well, here's
where we leave you.

Okay, if you see anybody
outside, come in to get us.

We'll be in the catacombs.

Now, look!

I want to know what made
you run out on the safari!

I wanted to be the
first to see the treasure.

What you mean is that
you figured to hide it

before your friends
could get here.

No, I didn't want to
be left out in the cold.

Heh.

Well, you've got possibilities.

Too bad you're not
a mining engineer.

That's what I really need.

As it is, I'm afraid
you know too much.

Go on, get rid of him, Long.

Wait, I may be of use to you!

You?

Yes!

If you need the engineer, I may

be able to help you find one.

Now, don't tell me you --

Professor Davidson's one!

Davidson?

Yes!

He studied mining engineering,

to help him solve archaeological
excavation problems.

Well, say, maybe we can
talk business after all.

Go on, sit down again, Byron.

So, Davidson studied
engineering, huh?

Keep your eyes
peeled out here.

Watch that trail.

The Phantom.

You're in the wrong
territory, ain't ya?

Lift his guns.

Marsden, pull that lever!

Well, that ought to take
care of the Man Who Never Dies.

Yeah, I'll say.

Take a look at Watson.

Well, Watson's done for.

Give me a hand with Scott.

Open that door, put some
slugs into The Phantom.

He'll sink faster.

Yeah, hat's a good idea.

How do you like it down there?

He's got a slug in his
chest, The Phantom drilled him.

The Phantom?

And let you him get away?

We certainly didn't.

Marsden and I pushed him
down a hidden cistern.

Help, help!

Help!

Get out there, quick.

Look out, you'll hit Marsden!

Give me a hand.

Nice work, fella.

You take care of Marsden,
and I'll get that dog.

What's all the shooting about?

Get back, get back,
The Phantom'll drill you.

The Phantom?

Maybe he's run
out of ammunition.

Let's close in on him.

Don't be a sap.

You stay here and
guard the tunnel.

Now, remember,
I'm expecting --

Hey, Doc.

We sure got The
Phantom in a pocket.

He's trapped in that
dead-end tunnel.

I thought he'd drowned
in that old cistern.

He must have
gotten out of that

somehow but he's
a sure goner now.

I'll take your word
for that when I see it,

and anyway, how do I know
he won't get away again?

Aw, relax, Doc.

If he tries to get out, he runs

smack into Long's gun barrel.

All right, I'll
take your word for it.

Now, Byron, the sooner
you get Davidson

and his niece into
the catacombs,

the better it's
going to be for you.

Well, the safari
can't be far away.

I'll have them here
before you know it.

Hey Marsden.

You sure you ain't taking
a chance trusting that guy?

I am, great is stronger
than fair in some people.

Don't forget, Byron wants
to get in on that treasure.

By the way, Doc, eh, where
is this buried treasure?

Yeah, that's what
I'd like to know.

We've been digging around
here for a long time,

and so far we've
uncovered nothing

but a bunch of
mummies and skeletons.

I know that, and personally,

I think the treasure's
just in Byron's mind.

But why keep the professor
and his niece around here?

Why?

Davidson's a mining engineer
as well as an archaeologist.

He is?

Yes, and I'm sure
he'll be glad to help us

professionally with
our excavation.

As long as we hold the girl.

That's what I call
getting an expert cheap!

Now, Marsden, I
want you and Kriss

to act as a reception committee

when Byron gets back here
with Davidson and Ms. Palmer.

Treat them very nice,
show them all the sights,

and then lock them
up in the catacombs.

But why keep
Byron around here?

We'll disillusion him later.

And get rid of
Watson's body before

Davidson and the girl get here!

The prodigal returns.

Professor, I want to tell you

how sorry I am for
deserting you the way I did.

I'm glad The Phantom
made me return.

Well, why didn't
he come with you?

He's waiting for us
there, in the catacombs.

Moku, The Phantom says for you

and the porters to camp here.

Moku understand.

We make camp back in jungle.

I'll show you the way, Diana.

Here he comes with the
old man and the girl.

Yeah, Byron's the kind
that would double-cross

his own mother if
you paid him for it.

Yeah.

Come on.

Now, here's the main cavern.

You know where that is?

Yeah.

There's the tunnel
leading off to the right.

You got it?

Put your charge right there,
just inside the passage

to the gallery
overlooking the catacombs.

Well?

It worked out all right.

Byron's got them on the
way to the catacombs now.

Good.

If you want me,
I'll be with Drake

in the gallery
above the catacombs.

Well, what do you
think of it, Professor?

It's amazing!

See, Diana, here is an influence

strikingly similar to Mayan!

I suppose so.

You know, there's
something about

this place that frightens me.

Nonsense, my dear.

It's just the reaction
from all the excitement.

I'm sure you'll
feel quite differently

as soon as you've
seen The Phantom.

My, my.

Maze of tunnels.

Where do we go now?

Eenie, meenie, miney, moe.

The catacombs are this way.

Well, here we are.

Catacombs!

Only a very small
portion of them, my dear.

It's awe-inspiring!

Diana, come here and look
at these hieroglyphics!

It's interesting, isn't it?

These are entirely different

from either the
Mayan or Egyptian!

Diana!

Oh, I'm glad you're here.

Yes, I'm glad I
found you, but --

This is even more
interesting than I expected!

Yes, Professor, but we have
to get out of here right away!

Why, what's the rush?

What, after all
the trouble that

we've gone through
to get here --

And what about the
treasure we came here to --

Byron, there's a question
I'd like to ask you.

Shut that door, and bolt it!

It's certain we can't
get out through this door.

Come on, Drake, hurry it up.

Hey, listen.

With this kind of stuff,
I'm taking my time.

What are we going to do?

I'll take a look up there,
I might find a way out.

In the meantime, we'll
take a look around here.

Places like these are usually
honeycombed with tunnels.

We might find one.

Take a look around
there, Professor.

Tell them there's
no way out up here.

But I --

Go back and tell them
there's no way out up here!

Any exit up there?

No, I'm afraid not.

That door through the tunnel

seems the only way out of here.

Then what are we going to do?

Well, there nothing to do
but wait and see what happens.

The Phantom's down there
with the rest of them.

How about letting me
take a shot at him?

Certainly not.

Let them all find out
there's another exit up here?

Hurry up with that charge!

I'm almost ready.

Now we'll get out of here
and let Drake finish his work.

And make it good!

I'd like to see an ant crawl

through here after
the explosion.

By the way, how did
you find your way here?

Byron showed us.

He said you were
in the catacombs

waiting for us, so
we came with him.

That's a lie!

I never saw him from
the time he sneaked away

until he came back with you now!

Talking about me
won't help you any.

Put down that gun.

I'm working for a man
now who isn't going to

give all the Zoloz
treasure to a university.

Get back there, you!

You're a fool as
well as a traitor!

I tricked you
into coming here.

I stopped you just long enough

so you couldn't get
out through that door.

And now, I'm leaving by a tunnel

which I told you wasn't there.

You're crazy, I tell you!

The man you're working
for will kill you

as soon as he's
finished using you!

Yes?

I'd rather take my chances
with him than with you.

No, no, my dear.

The Phantom will
take care of himself.

Has avidson lost out

after all he went through?

Will Dr. Bremmer and
his gang of saboteurs

now gain control of the jungle?

You can't afford to miss
Peace in the Jungle,

the final episode
of The Phantom,

at this theatre next week!

Byron, the traitor, has lured

the Davidson expedition
into Bremmer's trap

in the catacombs of Zoloz.

The Phantom tries
to rescue them.

The Phantom's down there
with the rest of them.

How about letting me
take a shot at him?

Certainly not.

Let them all find out
there's another exit up here?

Hurry up with that charge.

I'm almost ready.

Well, we'll get out of here
and let Drake finish his work.

And make it good!

I'd like to see an ant crawl

through here after
the explosion.

By the way, how did
you find your way here?

Byron showed us.

He said you were
in the catacombs

waiting for us, so
we came with him.

That's a lie!

I never saw him from
the time he sneaked away

until he came back with you now.

Talking about me
won't help you any.

Put down that gun.

I'm working for a man
now who isn't going to

give all the Zoloz
treasure to a university.

Get back there, you!

You're a fool as
well as a traitor!

I tricked you
into coming here.

I stopped you just long enough

so you couldn't get
out through that door.

And now I'm leaving by a tunnel

which I told you wasn't there.

You're crazy, I tell you.

The man you're working
for will kill you

as soon as he's
finished using you!

Yes?

I'd rather take my chances
with him than with you.

No, no, my dear.

The Phantom will
take care of himself.

Oh, he's coming to.

Take it easy, now.

You've been badly hurt.

Hiya, fella.

You all right, old boy?

It's a wonder both
of you weren't killed.

Byron, what happened to him?

I should never
have let him come

with us on this expedition.

This is no time to
think about that now.

Let's see what we
can do for him.

Completely blocked!

Byron's done for.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Is there any chance of
us getting out of here?

Never give up hope, Professor.

I never do.

We'll try and find a way
out of here, somehow.

Well, I did a great job, Doc,

even have to admit it myself.

Well, what's so marvelous
about blowing up a tunnel?

Well, that is what I
mean, besides sealing up

Davidson and the girl
and knocked off Byron
and The Phantom.

Are you sure,
or have you caught

the disease called
"no more Phantoma?"

Stop your clowning, Doc.

Why, I saw those two
guys buried under tons

of rock and dirt they'll
never dig themselves out of.

Well, that's fine, Drake.

I'd almost begun to
believe that bunk myself,

about The Phantom
being immortal.

What's our next move, Doc?

Well, we have to
finish that airfield,

but to do that, we
need native labor.

Well, The Phantom's fixed it

so the natives
won't work for us.

That's right.

But the new Phantom's
going to change things.

The new Phantom?

Yep.

I had this specially
made for the occasion.

See, I want the natives to
be happy with their Phantom,

but this time, he's
going to be my man.

The Phantom's dead.

Long live The Phantom.

Go ahead, try it on, Kriss.

Nice thinking, Doc.

Come in here, and
see what I discovered!

Looks like the corner
of an old chest!

The explosion must
have loosened this block!

Let's see if we can get it out.

The treasure chest!

Just our luck to find it and

not be able to get
out of here with it.

It's empty!

Wait a minute.

The Mark of the Phantom!

One of my forefathers
must have removed

whatever treasure there was
and left our seal as a receipt!

But why a receipt?

The law permits those who
find the treasure to keep it!

Yes, I know that, but
I'm beginning to suspect

that the Tonga treasure,
which has been put

into my custody,
originally came from here.

That sounds reasonable.

Maybe I can substantiate
your theory,

when you show your
treasure to me.

By the way, to whom
does the treasure belong?

You or the natives?

My father turned it over to me

with the understanding, however,

that I use it only
to help the natives.

Speaking of the
natives, I wish

they were here to help us now.

Yes, so do I.

Well, how do I look?

You're his twin.

Here, try this on.

Hey, what about The
Phantom's trademark?

What do you mean?

The ring, stupid!

Here you are, catch.

Doc, you've done
a wonderful job

duplicating the outfit,
but Kriss's voice

doesn't sound any more
like The Phantom's

than a wolf sounds
like a canary bird.

It's all right,
anticipated that difficulty.

Now, Rocco, and
Drake, I'm holding you

responsible for
Davidson and his niece.

Feed them, but don't lead
them out of the catacombs.

Long, you and Marsden
come with Kriss and me,

and don't let
yourselves be seen.

I can stand
going without food,

but I wish they'd
give us some water.

And I wish that you
had taken my advice,

and stayed at Tonga
instead of disobeying me.

Don't say that.

No matter what happens, I'm
glad to be here with you.

You still think you know a way

to get us out of
here, don't you?

I do.

My plan depends
entirely on someone

coming down here to see
what happened to us.

You mean they left
us down here to die?

There's no doubt about it.

In case someone
should come down here,

here's what we'll do.

Now you both
understand what I mean?

Hope they don't
grumble about the grub.

And don't forget, be
ready with your gun.

Open the door, I
got my hands full.

Well, if we'd have
known The Phantom

was keeping you company,
we'd have come sooner.

(sobbing}He, he's dead.

You don't have to tell me,
I'm the one that killed him.

Then at least be decent enough

to take the body out of here.

(sobbing}Yes,
get him out of here.

I'll carry him if somebody'll
help me sling him up.

All right, let's
get out of here!

C'mon, fella!

Come on, Devil!

Come on, boy!

Come on, boy!

How bad are you hurt?

Get the doc, quick.

Bremmer ain't coming
back, and neither am I

if I can get out of this place.

Help me, help me!

I ain't got time
to be dragging

you around through the jungle.

Heh, you...

ain't...

going through no jungle.

Phantom, he come!

Welcome, Dr. Bremmer.

Welcome back, Master.

Phantom not well, Moku.

Throat very bad.

I talk for him, you understand?

What happened Phantom?

I was flying from Sai
Pana in thunderbird.

My plane caught on fire,
and crashed in the jungle.

The Phantom came
there and saved me.

Master very brave man.

He is indeed, Moku.

To rescue me, he had to breathe

flames which burned his throat.

You fix him with
white man medicine?

Oh, yes, yes, he'll be
all right in a few days,

but his voice might not sound
quite the same at first.

Moku very happy
Phantom meet you again.

Where is Devil
and three friends?

Oh, he's with the professor
and the others back in Zoloz.

We wait here for them?

No, we start back
for Tonga tonight.

We get many warriors to
help them with big diggings.

Can do, easy!

Suba call all tribes,
get plenty strong men!

We go pretty quick!

That's fine, Moku.

Drummer say Phantom call all

chiefs of all tribes to Tonga.

Last time Phantom
call, Chota not go.

Phantom come to Mola village
and make trouble for Chota.

This time, Chota go to Tonga,
make trouble for Phantom!

Call all warriors!

We go!

Come, follow Chota!

Now I understand why Moku

and the porters
didn't wait for us.

Did the drums tell you that?

They say The Phantom
is calling the chiefs

of all tribes to
Tonga for a council.

How could that be possible?

Very simple,
someone is convinced

I'm dead and has taken my place.

But who could that be?

I'm certain it's the man
who's behind all our troubles.

Well, then you
must get to Tonga

at once and assert your right!

Come, let's hurry!

You cannot see Phantom!

That's the third time
you've told me that.

Master sick!

Cannot talk!

You saw Moku, he tell you
why Phantom call chiefs!

Now, you seem to
forget that The Phantom

is my best friend, and I
know he'll be glad to see me!

Master say cannot
see Rusty now.

Will see after council.

He did, eh?

You wait here,
with the people.

He see you after ceremony.

You bet he'll see me.

Well, I hope Bremmer and
Kriss get away with this.

Here, put your mask on.

Well, you certainly
look authentic.

Might as well get used to this.

You're The Phantom from now on.

Master, the chiefs very
anxious for you to appear.

All right, Suba, I won't
keep them any longer.

Well, thanks a
lot for everything.

All right, Phantom,
do your stuff.

I'll be watching you.

We're not very far
from the village now.

These men'll take
you there safely.

You stay here, Devil.

See you later.

Chiefs of all the
tribes, Suba has told you

why The Phantom cannot
speak to you today.

Your leader's voice is in a
state of temporary collapse.

I am Dr. Bremmer, speaking for

your leader these
words of wisdom.

Listen to them well, and obey

the orders of the
Man Who Never Dies.

Your leader has just discovered
the Lost City of Zoloz.

He wants to rebuild that city,

but he needs many warriors
to help him clear the jungle.

Hey, this is where came in.

Yeah, and this is
where we're getting out.

I don't think so.

Come on, reach.

Out this way, both of you.

Come on.

All right, all right, come on.

Come on, get on your feet!

Chiefs, leaders, men
of wisdom and knowledge.

I've called you
here to assure you,

once more, that the peace
of the jungle will be kept!

I've destroyed all evil forces

that have tried to
create unrest among you!

Their leader here lies defeated.

He bears my mark in
payment for his treachery.

Suba.

I want you to remember
me always by this token.

From The Phantom's treasure.

I'll never forget you.

But I'm not leaving here.

I intend to stay on with Uncle

while he continues
his work in Zoloz.

And don't you dare
forget to drop in

on Rusty whenever
you visit Sai Pana!
