Synopsis for "Terror in the Jungle"
On Blackhawk Island, Blackhawk receives a letter from Kuani Moaro, chief of a primitive tribe on Anatoa Island in the South Seas. Moaro attended school in London and met Blackhawk there. He has now returned to Anatoa only to find that a Soviet agent, Capt. Droski, has gained influence there and installed his own chief. Moaro is being held prisoner, but managed to get a letter out. The Blackhawks land on Lanimuru Atoll and, leaving Chuck and Chop Chop to guard the planes, take rafts to Anatoa where they are quickly captured by the natives. They are taken to Droski, his puppet chief Aleano, and a young woman named Lona. Droski has them tied to posts where the natives will use them as targets for their spears after dinner. Lona tells Droski that she wants the insignia from Blackhawk's jacket, so he gives her a knife to cut it off. She discreetly cuts the ropes and, instead of cutting the insignia, cuts off Blackhawk's belt radio and lifts it up so he can tell Chuck to buzz the island. Aleano notices this and orders his men to attack. Chuck flies overhead and the fearful natives hide in the jungle. The Blackhawks escape and hear someone calling them from a hut. Inside they find the captive Kuani. Kuani explains that Droski wanted to kill him, but Aleano was too superstitious to allow it. Instead, they told the natives that Kuani was dead while locking him in a hut they said was haunted. Kuani tries to make a break for the jungle so that he can show his people that he is alive, but he is shot by Droski and his men. Olaf carries him back to safety as Chuck, Chop Chop, and Lona arrive with weapons. Lona and Kuani are actually engaged, and she has told the natives that the Blackhawks were there to help their true chief. The Blackhawks force the Soviets into the open where they overpower Droski's men, while the natives spear Droski and Aleano. As he is recovering, Kuani invites the Blackhawks to his wedding.
