Jungle Pursuit

Mantu, the son and heir of Kimo, the recently deceased chief of the Askari tribe, has been wrongly accused of murder in Nairobi by Chester, a crooked tax collector (second from left). Chester has stolen the Askari's tax payment that Mantu was delivering to Nairobi and has conspired with Garth, the warden of the local prison camp (far left), to keep Mantu silent by incarcerating him. When Mantu escapes Sheena and Bob become concerned at his pursuers overly keen enthusiasm to kill Mantu (right). When Mantu is wounded in the chase Sheena cares for him at her hut and learns that Mantu has never been before a judge (below). She sends a talking drum message to fetch the Commissioner from Nairobi and stalls Chester and Garth with a vain chase through the jungle. When the drums tell her the Commissioner has arrived she leads them back to her camp. Garth and Chester become suspicious and in the struggle Bob is knocked unconscious, Mantu shoots Chester and Garth flees into the jungle. Sheena follows through the trees, captures him and turns him over to the Commissioner. Mantu is made the new chief of the tribe.
