Plot synopsis

The Phantom and Diana have decided to marry and the Phantom has to ask Diana's mother, Lily Palmer, for permission to marry her daughter and gets a very forced agreement from a weeping mother.

Wedding invitations are sent through all the jungle and to two presidents and Colonel Jonathan Worubu of the Jungle Patrol. Mandrake and Lothar also gets an invitation. In front of the Skull Cave, the Phantom and Diana are married by President Lamanda Luaga of Bangalla and President Goranda of Ivory-Lana.

Miss Tagama catch the wedding bouquet as the Phantom and Diana rides off to Keela-Wee, president Luaga wishes her well.

At Keela-Wee, the Phantom and Diana follow the tradition and takes a bath before rolling themselves in the sand and becoming like gold. They end up traditionally in the Jade Hut where Diana declares that she loves her husband's ancestors, his places and him.
