Kaänga learns that the Azandes have been forbidden to trade with the trader Songa by their witch doctor, M'fonga. Kaänga visits the tribe and tells the chief and the warriors that he thinks they should trade with Songa. At the trader's camp, the warriors are betrayed by their chief and Songa takes them all captives, including Ann, to be sold as slaves. Kaänga pursues them to the slave auction and frees the slaves and captures Songa. The chief is killed by Zulu as he attempts to escape.; Treasure hunters kidnap chief Hetlai's daughter in order to coerce him into helping them loot an ancient Egyptian tomb. Camilla frees the daughter and captures the treasure hunters. She prevents Hetlai from killing them so they can be turned over to the district commissioner.; Terry escorts Dr. Carter, an ethnologist, to the L'tonga village where a trial for a pair of jewel thieves is scheduled. Dr. Carter is exposed as an ex-Nazi, looking for the loot taken by the thieves.; Competing parties seek a legendary salt mine: white ivory hunters who will trade the salt to natives for their ivory and natives who will trade the salt for needed supplies. Simba, fighting cantankerous leopards, leads each party to the mine. The natives kill the white men, and Simba defeats the leopards.; Wambi and Leo pretend to have swamp madness in order to drive away the gothali dogs.; A thief steals the idol of Ovambu from the Bulandas and hides it in the temple of the Songais. A pair of treasure hunters come and loot the Songai temple, taking the idol. They attempt to trade the idol to the Bulandas, not knowing the provenance of the statue. The Bulandas kill them.
