Believing now that Clegg has missing letter, Congo Bill searches his office,

but is caught.

Seeking information, Clegg turns him over to two of his men.

Bill is taken to the cellar of the Green Parrot, where...

We've got to tell him what he's up against.

Yeah, it might loosen up his tongue.

When we turn on that switch, those knives will start to spin.

Slowly lower until they finally reach you.

Unless you decide to talk.

Turn on the juice, Frank.

Bravo, Franco, Bill.

Bravo. A little while ago, you were all set to finish me. What changed your

mind?

You could matter so bluntly.

It was never my thought to finish you.

Am I responsible if my men go too far?

Oh.

So it was you who threw the switch, huh?

Well, yes, of course.

I did not wish to kill.

Go away.

Some friends of yours upstairs. Shall we join them?

Are you sure they're friends?

That's what they say.

It

is

always a happy occasion to bring about the reunion of good friends.

Run along, Peg. We've got private business.

Certainly. I understand.

Hello, Bernie.

Hi, Bill. Really?

Oh, not having heard anything from you, I thought we'd investigate the situation

ourselves. Now, I hear that your safari was a flop.

Well, considering all the actions that happened to me, I was lucky to bring

myself back.

That's a cute speech, but we're after wild animals.

You can go after those wild animals if you want to, Bernie.

Maybe Bill would like to deny that rumor we've been hearing about Brother Tom

giving him some kind of a letter before he died.

Still working with Volcar, Bernie?

Yeah, he's a very dependable man.

Matter of fact, he's supposed to join us here.

Apparently he's been delayed somewhere.

Business has been late, but it's due to pick up right away.

I've got word from our friend that a new shipment of gold is coming through.

How's it going to travel?

In a way, it will be quite a surprise even to those who are carrying it. How

about letting us in on the secret?

Keep your voices down.

The fewer who know about this, the better.

Now look, you three will have to lie low for a while.

Whoever listened in didn't hear enough to do himself any good.

I've got to get over the green parrot.

You fellas make yourself scarce.

Hello, Cameron. How are you?

No, Bill, I think you're off on the wrong foot if you think Bocard is behind

the trouble you had.

Well, it's a matter of opinion.

Well, even now, he's getting up another safari for us.

Speaking of something unpleasant... Do I hear my name being mentioned?

What else did you hear, Bocard?

As a matter of fact, I couldn't help overhearing you express some suspicion

of me.

And I deeply regret it. When your boys stage a raid on my camp and scare off my

bears, what should I think?

You might think that sometimes a man's employees get independent ideas.

You may be sure that I've severed all connections with those crooks.

Wonderful. You and Kling.

For further proof of my intentions, I'm proposing that Mr. McGraw here let you

head his new expedition.

That's fair enough.

How about it, Bill?

All right.

Is that what you want?

Volcar, I've heard a lot of interesting things about you. Later, Cameron. I'm

busy now.

Both correspond to a native tribe that's discovered the secret of transmuting

base metal into gold.

Oh, is that so?

Oh, occasionally I pick up gold trinkets from the tribes of the interior. Nothing

of any great value.

If any of it comes from the Valley of Namu, Mr. McGraw here might be able to

help you with it. He'll probably be going there. There's Congo Bill here

discovered some of the best lions are in that district.

Let's not forget the lost tribe.

They're not exactly friendly.

Who cares? If there are animals there, that's where we go. I like to go along

as co-pilot.

Well, you can help Carla with my elephant gun.

To the success of your safari.

In a few days, you'll be nearing the forbidden valley of Nemu.

He's done for.

Giovanna!

Cameron, you and Morelli, hold them off. The rest of us will take care of the

others.

This bird threw that cut in the rocks.

Yeah, but they're going to be back.

We'd better get the bears together and move on. Right now.

Look out!

They've got the drop on it.

Make no move and you will be spared.

Get their weapons.

You speak English so well. What's this all about?

I have orders to take you and your party to my village.

I warn you not to resist.

What's the big idea?

That you must wait and find out.

You are brought here not to die, but to enter a pact of friendship with us.

The valley of Namu has long been forbidden to outsiders.

But now Congo Bill has changed that.

What is your offer of friendship?

Congo Bill is shrewd.

There are conditions.

We ask only that when you return to the coast, you will take with you certain

goods which we wish to trade for needed supplies.

We can do that, Chief.

Then we are friends.

and the Lost Stripe will help you trap the wild animals you seek.

You are now our honored guest.

No,

don't do that.

Where can't go they'll go okay?

What is the meaning of this intrusion? We mean no harm. We're interested only

in the customs of the lost tribe.

Your curiosity will be your undoing. This is sacred ground, and you have

violated it.

The pact of our friendship is broken.

The penalty is death.

Tie them up!

What talk is this of death?

Who knows our tribal law better than our queen?

These men desecrated ground sacred to Jebu. It is written that they must pay

with their lives.

There's a higher law than that of the tribe.

The law of Jebu.

Let the queen consider her words well.

My words are very well considered.

Jebu himself will decide the fate of those men.

And just how is this to be done?

The execution will go forward. Find the prisoner.

Now what, my queen?

Let two of your guards serve as bowmen.

Your orders are even as mine would be, my queen.

I thought the ring was our friend. I still think she is.

Those two are the best bowmen in the tribe.

There will be no question of the ring.

Perhaps I will be when you hear my next command.

Have the bowman blindfolded.

What game is this, Eva? I said Jabu would decide the prisoner's fate, and so

he shall.

If he wants the arrows to find their marks, he will guide them.

You heard the queen's order.

Even blinds told that those fellas can't miss at this distance.

Fake aim. When I strike the gong, let your arrows fly.

Those arrows are pointed right at us.

What new treachery is the scheming Bokar plotting? What will be the fate of

Lorene in the hands of these men?

Next week in this theater, see the plot unfold further in Trail of Treachery,

Chapter 10 of Congoville.
