In a small town in New Guinea, someone has stolen the village's historically-significant bell, and murdered the bell-ringer. The murderer is after a map to a gold mine, which is carved onto a metal sheet and riveted inside the bell. The local townspeople believe it's the act of a nearby tribe of headhunters. Congo Bill is sent by World Wide Insurance Company to investigate. The headhunters protest their innocence, and are able to prove it to Bill's satisfaction. The murderer is able to steal the map and flee the area, but he miscalculates the amount of gasoline he would need to drive his stolen jeep to the coast. Congo Bill, with one colonial constable along, tracks and ambushes the killer, who is arrested.

- "Meet Detective Chimp" is reprinted from Adventures of Rex the Wonder Dog #4.
- Bomba the Jungle Boy is renamed "Simba" in this and the following issues, probably due to copyright issues (DC had only licensed the character during the Silver Age but owned the new stories they had published about him). This story is reprinted from Bomba the Jungle Boy #4.
