Twenty years ago, a group of white settlers were massacred by unknown natives. Today, their children have banded together to seek revenge, wearing hawk masks. N'kota persuades them that the Mombasas are to blame. In reality, the perpetrators of the massacre were N'kota and his men. The hawk men began to capture Mombasas in anticipation of a mass execution. Kaänga learns the truth and leads the uncaptured Mombasases to the hawk men's headquarters where the captives are freed and N'kota is captured and sent to the district commissioner for trial.; Barton and his gang are hijacking prison boats and using the captured convicts as slave labor in their mining operation. Camilla, with Commissioner Harris's aide Garrity, capture the gang and turn the gang and the convicts over to the commissioner.; White men disguised as apes are looting temples in Tabu's jungle. Tabu discovers the plot at the Snake Temple and uses his illusions to capture the looters.; Wambi's friend, Lari, is expelled from his tribe because he will not participate in a ritual devised by the witch doctor Gwanda, in which an elephant is tortured to death. Wambi helps him return to his village and exposes the witch doctor as a coward.; Art collector Miss Dunlap is using hollowed totem poles to smuggle escaped convicts out of Africa. Terry exposes her and recaptures the convicts.; Drought forces Simba to go far afield to find water for his subjects. When he does find a waterhole, it is guarded by a rhinoceros that Simba kills.
