Traitor's Trail!
While at Greg Knight's camp, Lorna spots his assistant Simes fiddling around with Greg's ammo supply. After Simes leaves, Lorna checks the box and finds that the ammo has been replaced with duds. An hour later, Greg is about to lead a hunting party into the jungles, hoping that Lorna will not interfere with his business like she usually does, unaware that Lorna is secretly following them from the trees above.
When the hunting party comes across a lion, Greg's gun proves useless and Simes shoots the lion dead, boasting that he was able to save them when Knight failed. Lorna then swings in and reveals how Simes switched Greg's ammo. Simes, still seeking to make Knight look bad, knocks him out with the back of his rifle and flees into the jungle. After insuring that Greg is going to be okay, Lorna goes after Simes into the jungle.
Lorna finds Simes just as he is spots a leopard and shoots at it. His shot misses and the leopard is about to attack him when Lorna steps in. She subdues the leopard and then takes down Simes, tying him up to take to the authorities.
