Lorna the Jungle Girl #15
The Thundering Herd!
Hearing shots, Lorna the Jungle Girl goes to investigate them and finds Greg Knight shooting at Communist agents who have him surrounded. Despite his protests, Lorna pulls him out of danger and swings to safety. Greg is furious and explains that she was trying to keep the Communists out of the jungle, but her interference insured that they got in. Greg then goes off to fix her mess telling Lorna to keep out of his way.
Lorna disobeys Greg, swinging off into the jungle in order to fix the mess that she has created. Lorna tracks down the Communists who have gathered a herd of elephants to slaughter in order to use the fortune in ivory to fund their operations. Lorna attacks, smashing their radio and then forces the Communists to flee when she gets the elephants stampeding. The Commie agents seek cover in a crevasse which they seal with explosives that the elephants can't pass through only to find a den for snakes. The Communists then surrender in order for Lorna and the elephants to save them. Lorna then turns them over to Greg when he arrives and he is perplexed as to how Lorna was able to capture them.

Land of the Lost!
Greg Knight and Lorna the Jungle Girl are out exploring when they are attacked by what appears to be Roman soldiers. The soldiers give them chase and when Lorna tries to swing herself and Greg over a gorge, a spear snaps her vine sending them falling into the river below, where they manage to lose the Romans. Coming out of the water after their pursuers have left, Lorna finds it hard to believe that ancient Romans could still exist but agrees to join Greg in trying to find where they are.
They come across what appears to be a Roman village, but are easily spotted by the ruler of this band who orders them taken alive. The leader tells them that they are unable to hunt for their own food, and asks Greg to assist them in hunting a lion for food. Greg shocks Lorna by agreeing and when he is gone their leader explains that they are really mobsters from Chicago who fled arrest by fleeing to Africa. Being called the "Caesar of Crime" their leader decided that they disguise themselves as Ancient Romans in order avoid detection and capture. Before he can eliminate Lorna, his minions come running back with a lion on their heels.
Greg tells the criminals to seek shelter in their own jail and he and Lorna lock them inside. Greg then reveals he was onto the fact that the "Romans" were frauds since they spoke English instead of the dialect of the ancient Romans. He then explains that he got some of the lions from his sanctuary and used them to frighten the criminals in surrendering to them so they can hand them over to the authorities.

Trapped!
Greg Knight has finished bringing in his latest herd of animals for his animal sanctuary when he is warned by his assistant Mabu about Wulu, a local tribesman who believes that Greg is capturing the animals and holding them as prisoners, instead of providing them sanctuary. Greg dismisses his threat telling Mabu that he can handle Wulu.
However, shortly thereafter Greg falls through a pit that has been dug out by Wulu who demands that Greg free the animals. When Greg refuses, Wulu sends a lion down, but Greg easily knocks it out and uses a rope to climb out of the pit. Before Wulu can cut the rope a group of gorillas charge at him. Greg fights them off, and they both flee and seek cover. However they soon realize that the gorillas were merely searching for the sanctuary. Realizing that the animals want to live in the safety of the sanctuary, Wulu realizes the errors of his ways and agrees to work with the sanctuary in the future.
