Lorna the Jungle Girl #16
The Night of the Fang!
As night begins to fall Lorna the Jungle Girl and her monkey pal Mikki retire in a tree for the night, but Lorna feels that something is not right in the jungle, unaware that there is a deadly panther stalking the area. Spotting the panther, Lorna goes to stalk it, however Mikki is not asleep and worried about his master, knocks her out to get her away from the danger and leads the panther away. Lorna comes to and goes to tell Greg Knight what happened and he once more tells her his opinion that women don't belong in the jungle. Realizing Mikki knocked her out to save her from the panther, Lorna swings off into the jungle again to find Mikki.
She finds her monkey in the company of the panther, and seeing his mistress coming toward them, Mikki attacks the panther. Lorna comes to Mikki's aid, fighting off the panther which encourages other animals that were afraid of the big cat to attack as well. Pulling away, Lorna watches as the other animals trample the panther to death, but this also attracts the rest of the panther's pack.
Seeking to protect the other animals, Lorna and Mikki attract the panthers attention and they chase after the pair. Swinging through the jungle, Lorna comes across Greg and pulls him to safety near Haega Chasm. Getting to safety in a tree near the edge of the chasm, Lorna, Mikki and Greg watch as the enraged panthers crash through the fence and fall into the chasm below where they will be trapped long enough for the other animals to get away. When Greg once more tells Lorna that she doesn't belong in the jungle, Lorna has to calm Mikki who takes offence to the statement.

Wilderness Wrath!
Greg Knight is hunting a lion that is just about to attack a deer when Lorna swoops in and subdues the big cat with her bare hands. As Greg berates her over the dangers of the lion, Lorna then directs the lion to a watering hole and a meat cache to resolve the beats hunger. Despite this, Greg is still not convinced that Lorna has a place in the jungle. Suddenly one of the natives warns Lorna and Greg about an elephant stampede, and Lorna quickly uses a vine to swing them to safety.
The near death experience puts Greg in a state of shock. Lorna goes to the nearby village to seek shelter but finds that the locals have barred their doors and windows to protect themselves from the "wilderness wraith". With no other options, Lorna ties Greg up in a tree and swings off to deal with the rampaging elephants. With the aid of the lion whom she saved earlier, she sends the elephants charging away from the native village.
However as she unties Greg and is reunited with her pet monkey Mikki, the elephants return to attack again. Lorna holds them at bay until suddenly the female elephants arrive with their newly born children and the male elephants instantly stop their rampage. Lorna realizes that the male elephants were merely protecting their mates while they give birth. With the danger has passed, Lorna and Greg inform M'Tuba that he and his people can come out of hiding. When Lorna marvels over the beauty of the baby elephants, an exasperated Greg Knight storms off on his usual tirade about how women have no place in the jungle.

Rushing out into the plains he sees the elephant about to attack a herd of zebras and is forced to shoot the elephant dead. Iguno searches the body and finds a voodoo fetish and tells Greg that this is what made the elephant go mad. Greg wonders why someone is using voodoo on the animals in his sanctuary and Iguno suggests that it is someone who is attempting to ruin their operation. Unaware that there are two men seeking to discredit Greg in order to take over his sanctuary, Greg realizes that only the local Opaki tribe still use voodoo fetishes.
Knight treks off to find the Opaki's when he is attacked by a vulture also frenzied by the voodoo fetishes. Greg confronts the leader of the Opaki's and they engage in a fight which Greg quickly wins. Suddenly they hear the sound of an approaching jeep and see the two men who were out to try and ruin Greg fleeing from a herd of frenzied elephants. The Opaki help Greg remove the fetishes just as the men crash their jeep, restoring the animals to normal.
