How strange the ways of fate—to bring together such an odd assortment of people to face the perils of the darkest continent!
"Gunner" Patrick, once a gunman, now fleeing from the perils of Chicago gangland, in the company of unsuspecting.
Lafayette Smith, a brilliant geologist, looking for rocks, but instead finding.
Lady Barbara Collis, aviatrix, lost in the wilds of a hidden valley with only.
Jezebel, a beautiful young Midianite, whose people think nothing of burning strangers alive.

A thread from here, a thread from there, another from out of the past that has waited years for the companion thread without which the picture must be incomplete.
