When Tom McGraw insists on finding the heir to the circus which they manage,

his brother Bernie secretly decides to liquidate Tom.

Congo Bill, famous animal trainer, tries to go to Tom's aid.

What happened to Tom?

The gorilla got him. He's hurt bad. Really? Call the doc.

Give me a hand. We'll take him to the quarters.

That doc had been in there over an

hour.

I can't understand how that gorilla got a hold of Tom.

Maybe the two men who attacked me had something to do with it. Oh, it doesn't

add up.

It adds up to an attempt to kill Tom and me.

How is he, Doc?

Well, Tom's in a serious condition.

Something I don't understand.

The worst injury is at the base of Tom's skull.

As though he'd been hit. Why, the gorilla crushed him against the cage.

Yes, that might explain it. And it might not.

But the fact is that the blow, or whatever it is, might prove fatal.

Why? Can't be as serious as that. Bad enough that I want an attendant to stay

with Tom all night. Well, whatever you say, Doctor. Tom is barely conscious,

but he's asked to see Congo Bill.

You think that's wise?

Oh, yes, for a few minutes, but just see that he takes it easy, won't you? I

will, Doctor. Goodbye.

I don't like the idea of Tom seeing Congo Bill alone.

Well, what are you going to do about it?

Nothing.

Now.

Oh, that's why I made up my mind to go to Africa.

Find out if a white woman in the jungle really is Ruth Culber.

Easy does. We'll talk about it later.

We have free time, Bill.

I may never go there.

There's plenty of time. You're going to be all right.

If she is Ruth Culver, then a half million dollars in the circus belong to

her. Relax, will you? We can talk about it tomorrow.

Dr. Powers sent me.

Oh. Ouch.

I checked the first thing in the morning. Take it easy now.

Be sure, Bill. Be sure.

What happened, Bill? Somebody tried to strangle me. Did you see who it was? No.

Pen and writing paper?

Yes, sir.

A desk.

We sure messed things up.

So what?

We'll have other chances.

If he didn't recognize us. I'm sure he did.

Morning, Bill. How's Tom feel?

Didn't have a very good night.

Can I see him now? I think he's just waking up now. Okay.

How do you feel, Tom?

I'm all washed up.

Don't say that, Tom, please.

Remember what I told you last night?

Sure I do.

I want you to do something for me.

Deliver this message?

Of course I will.

Very important, Bill.

I want you to promise me.

I promise anything, Tom, anything.

Nobody should know about that letter. Nobody.

Nobody will.

Don't fail, Bill.

A fortune and a life depend on you.

Where are you going? In there.

Bernie sent word he wants to see me.

I can tell you what he wants. I'll hear it from him.

I'm taking over Tom's work, and you're fired.

I'll believe that when Bernie tells me.

Morelli!

Drop that whip.

Did he tell you you were through?

I want to hear it from you. All right, you're finished.

I'll give you 24 hours to clear out.

Satisfied?

All right, Morelli, come inside.

At their secret village, hidden deep in the mysterious and forbidden valley of

Namu, Memphraim's lost tribe hold an ancient and mystic ceremony, observed

only by their inscrutable white queen, known to them as Loreen.

And as the ceremony continues on through the long jungle night, the sinister

tribal witch doctor, already suspected by Doreen of traitorous activities,

departs to keep a morning rendezvous with Andre Bocar, buyer of illicit gold.

Keep your eyes open on that back trail. If anybody comes along...

Fire a couple of shots and drive him into cover.

We'll be back about nightfall.

I wonder what they're up to.

When you come to my time of life, you don't bother about other people's

business.

They're mighty secretive.

Might be something big, big enough for all of us.

Think so?

We're going to find out.

They're not going to follow them. That's right.

Well, if they found out, they wouldn't hesitate to kill both of us. They won't

find out.

You stand by. Thank you.

Which doctor isn't here?

You sure this is the day?

Yes, he'll be here.

The hour for our meeting has long passed.

We were delayed.

Where's the gold?

There is no more gold.

Why not?

Lorraine, the high one watches too closely.

What are you giving us, you faker?

You must not come again into the Forbidden Valley.

He's trying to hold us up.

The penalty for touching a witch doctor is death.

I'll do more than touch you if you don't come through with that gold.

Warriors, come. They must not see me with you.

And you'll bring me more gold? Yes, another time.

Now I must go.

I made a mistake firing Congo Bill.

Why? Well, if Tom told him anything or he's suspicious, he can go to the

police. What can they prove? How do I know?

If you're thinking of taking care of Congo Bill, you better get started.

I'm checking out in the morning.

Hey, maybe you're right.

I was wondering why you waited so long.

Haven't forgotten your old knife-throwing act, have you?

No.

But I could use a little practice.

Will Bernie McGraw's scheme work out, after all?

What is this meeting at Bokar's house in Africa?

Don't fail to see A Hot Reception, the third thrill-packed chapter of Congo

Bill at this theater next week.
