Plot synopsis
In the 1880s the 17th Phantom investigates why four young women have been murdered in the jungle. At the crime scene the Phantom discovers a crucifix and he visits a nearby mission where his sister Julie is working. The crucifix is verified to belong to a young man, Henry, who suffers from a mental disorder that from time to time manifests itself as fits of rage. However, after Henry and sister leaves for England, Julie finds a piece of evidence that points to another guilty party and The Phantom travels to London where the unidentified "Jack the Ripper" is murdering women.
