On their hilltop, Ian, Ken, and Lefty hunker down for the oncoming charge of the wild Mongol horsemen.

Synopsis for Sandor and the Lost Civilization: "Rajah Maharajah, Part 8"

Rajah Maharajah is enraged by the news of Sandor's escape! He knows, however that Sandor will certainly return for his dog, so Maharajah orders Elaka to be confined in a secret dungeon. In the next room, a spy (Jadev) overhears this, and scurries off to the Temple of the Jungle Goddess to report it to his master, the High Priest. Not knowing how to contact Sandor, the Priest dispatches Jadev to the cave of Benar, the Fakir, with a message about Elaka, to relay to Sandor. After Benar and Sandor have parted ways with Awla, their getaway elephant, they return to Benar's cave, where they get the message from Jadev: Tonight is the Feast of the Jungle Goddess, and Rajah Maharajah will be at her Temple. Sandor then returns to the palace, throttles another guard unconscious, and sneaks inside. As he sprints up a stairway to an upper gallery, he is watched from a shadowy doorway under the stairway by a turban-wearing figure.

• Russell Cole signed his Goofo the Great and Ol' Oz Bopp and Sam the Porter strips as "Alger".
• Gordon Rogers signed his Rattlesnake Pete strip as "R. Donrog".
