Plot synopsis

Not long after his father's death and taking the Oath of the Skull, the 3rd Phantom must make peace in the jungle. Many people in the jungle worship the angry god Moogoo, who demands human sacrifices and any tribe who refuses to take part in this is sure to suffer from famine and starvation. The need for human sacrifices leads the different tribes into going to war with each other in order to capture enemies that can be sacrificed. The Phantom decides to put a stop to this and his theatrical skills from London comes to good use.
