Plot summary

In the past, an alien human-looking species, known as the Fallou (spelling uncertain), crashed on Earth, but was saved by the Phantom. They settled in a secret valley and had a magic health elixir. The Phantom vowed to protect both from all earthmen.

In present-day an industrialist named Kent Madden tries to buy the elixir from Partha the son of the leader Juna, but the only thing that could make him sell it is the means to get off the planet. When Madden leaves, the Phantom and Jedda observes his hover craft as they are on their way to visit the place.

After introductions, Jedda meets Partha and talks a bit to him. After the Phantom and Jedda has returned to the DotE headquarters, they figure out that it was Madden's craft that they saw. What they don't know is that Ming the Merciless is behind it all, using Madden as a pawn to get the elixir who is much more powerful than Madden realizes.

Jedda finds the belt of her father floating ashore, seemingly indicating his final demise.

Since Mandrake, Lothar and Flash Gordon is still at Jupiter, the Phantom and Jedda returns alone to stop Madden. When they arrive in their skull-shaped helicopter, Madden is just about to attack the valley. They try to defend themselves, but when the Phantom is about to jump from the helicopter, he is struck by the fire and falls into the river and disappears, only his belt is found. Jedda, believing her father to be dead, don the Phantom suit and start her duties as the 28th Phantom. The first thing she does is to lead the fight against Madden. Her father, however, is not dead, but injured he is seen swiming ashore at the coast before passing out.

Suddenly during the fighting, Ming appears with a fleet and announces that Madden's time is out as he still hasn't been able to get hold of the elixir. Jedda then realizes that Partha has had contact with the outside world due to remarks that he has done.
