Congo Bill keeps a rendezvous with Blinky, a jungle character who claims to

have information of Ruth Culver, missing heiress to the circus.

Congo Bill arrives at an old inn also know of his mission.

We'll keep out of sight in here till Congo Bill shows up.

What'd you turn that off for?

It makes the place look busy.

Whoever it was got out this window.

You catch on real quick, don't you?

Well, he got away not sure if it was Congo bill.

No, I wonder if he suspects anything

My

name

is Congo builders if you didn't know Andre Boca at your service, mr. Volcar,

what's your business beside attempted murder?

I don't understand.

These men ambushed me at the old mill west of here.

And I'm sure they're the same ones that tried to kill me the day I arrived.

Even if you're not mistaken, and I don't doubt your word, I still don't see what

this has to do with me. I'm not mistaken.

I followed them here from the mill.

Their rifles are in that rack.

They're not exactly strangers to you, are they?

Well, to be perfectly frank with you, they're my bodyguards.

You see?

I'm a trader here, among other things, and I have to deal with a lot of

unsavory characters.

I'm sorry if they misjudged you. All I can do is apologize and promise you that

it won't happen again.

I've had a lot of trouble getting a safari together since I arrived here.

That wouldn't be your doing, would it?

Certainly not.

Perhaps I can get you some men.

Your venture is legitimate, of course.

Hunting wild animals for a circus is still legal, isn't it?

Of course. I can be of help to you.

I even know a guide, one of the best in the colony.

Okay, I'll expect to hear from you.

Open and above board.

In the meantime, tell your hyenas to lay off.

You won't have any more trouble.

Thanks.

Ongo Bill's going to be more difficult than I thought.

I'm going to have to wire Bernie McGraw to raise the ante.

Hi, Bernie.

You're here sooner than I expected.

Payday, isn't it?

Before I pay off, I want to know what it is that you claim you have.

Something your brother Tom told me before he died.

I still don't know what I'm buying.

You're paying me to keep quiet, and I'm giving you just an hour to come across.

Visitors, huh?

What's the pitch?

Oh, Reed, you're trying to shake me down.

Claims he's got information, but he won't tell me what it is.

Now, isn't that nice?

Maybe I'd better take him out for a little walk. Good idea.

Nice little kitty, isn't he?

He's just a year old.

Boy, does he like to play.

Rough.

You like talking now?

Maybe you'll talk now.

If I talk now, how do I know you'll ever pay me?

Either you'll talk or you're going to have company.

Make up your mind.

All right, I'll tell you, but let me get out of here.

What? Your brother Tom wrote a letter before he died to Ruth Colbert.

He told her about the trust fund and the circus.

So she come back and claim it.

The letter, what happened to it? Was it mailed?

No, he gave it to Congo Bill and took it to Africa with him.

I'll tell you.

Oh,

stop

worrying.

Accidents will happen.

I'm not worrying about that.

I'm thinking about that letter Congo Bill is carrying.

The one addressed to Ruth Culver.

If there is such a person, and if Congo Bill can find her. In that case, the

circus is hers and not ours.

Your friend Bocart is supposed to take care of Congo Bill.

Well, he will.

But I've got to get that letter back.

Think I'll radio Andre Bocart right now.

green parrot gentleman. How may I serve you?

Zalia.

Service for my friend, please. Never mind, never mind.

I'm looking for Congo Bill. He's in his room, I'll call it. I'll have a word

with you, Bert.

Certainly, certainly.

Congo Bill had a letter addressed to a woman named Ruth Culver.

I want that letter.

What?

You want me to sneak the idea?

I think of the reputation of my establishment.

A little more fever, he won't make it any worse.

Well, suppose he carries this letter with him. Suppose he doesn't.

Search his room.

When's the next boat leave, Frank? Midnight.

We'll never have a better chance than right now.

Hello, Bocard. I found a man to guard your safari. Meet Rogan.

He's a veteran hunter and guide.

Knows the country like the back of his hand.

Can you line up a safari for me, Rogan?

I'm ready for you any time.

I know where I can get a station wagon, too.

It'll come in handy the first part of the trip, at least.

Are you familiar with the Valley of Namu?

Nobody who gets too familiar with that place ever comes back.

I know where it's supposed to be.

Good. Sit down.

Peaceful.

You think we can get it out a day after tomorrow at daybreak Rogan? I don't see

why not good Thanks for helping me work things out. Oh forget it Bring

the trap the second morning out. Have you got that straight?

Yeah, because it's about to get underway when you said it would right

Rogan said tell you he's ready and waiting. I'll be right out.

Let's get moving, Rogan. Right away, sir.

Oh, this is your personal gun bearer, Kala. How are you, Kala?

We're going to see a lot of each other. Me good boy, Buona. Me bring much luck.

This is powering down the road. Right.

We're lucky to be seen.

Most of them have been wiped out by hunters.

There's a good campsite just ahead there.

Yeah, it looks all right.

Well, we should make better time today.

Yeah, so let those native drums start talking. What do you think that'll be?

Hard to say.

Ha! Coming fast.

Looks like we're having visitors.

We expecting anybody, Rogan?

No.

Be careful and don't hit Rogan.

That ought to get results.

Yeah, it sure did.

Convo builds right after us.

Watch yourself. It turns just ahead.

Can this jungle girl be the missing Ruth Culver? What are these warriors of the

mysterious white tribe up to?
