Billali has returned and restored order. After three days, a trek begins, to bring the strangers to an audience with their Priestess, She.

The next day, one of Billali's bearers is bitten by a snake, and Billali is dumped into the swamp. Horace jumps in to rescue him, ahead of any of his own men.

Synopsis for Golden Dragon: "Episode 7"
On their hilltop, Ian, Ken, and Lefty hunker down for the oncoming charge of the wild Mongol horsemen. Unexpectedly, Pan Chi-Lou shows up with some drums of submachinegun ammunition; they reload, and blast some openings into the Mongol ranks. The closely-bunched horsemen are easy targets, and many are killed before the rest wheel their ponies and flee. Ken has gotten shot in one arm, but is mostly all right. While Pan Chi-Lou is explaining how he got there so quickly, Doris shows up with the rescue party. Pan goes thru the pockets of the dead Mongols, and finds some gold pieces, from the trove of Genghis Khan! These warriors were employed by the Dragon Priests!
Meanwhile and elsewhere, the Dragon Priests are gathered in council, to plan the destruction of the caravan.

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.

Trivia
- A character named Jor-L appears in the "Federal Men" story. However, he is a Federal Man from the year 3000, and should not be confused with Superman's father. Also, he only appears in a hypothetical story, told by Professor Grant of the FBI, and does not really exist.
- 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".
- Richard Matheson signed his Maginnis of the Mounties story as "Babe Mather".
