Synopsis for "Menace from the Past"
Lo-Zar spots a group of natives fleeing from something his friend Papai calls a "menace from the past", and goes to investigate. He comes across a tribe of Egyptians who fled their country centuries ago to live in the jungle. Their wiseman spots Lo-Zar and claims that he is the "Monarch of Evil" and orders his minions to attack. Lo-Zar puts up a fight but is easily captured and soon learns that this group fears the so-called Monarch of Evil, whose visage in effigies resemble Lo-Zar. According to their legends this group fears that the Monarch will slay their ruler Princess Keah.
Unwilling to harm the girl, Lo-Zar agrees to go with them and is chained despite his warnings that the chains will not work. As they head to a nearby cliff, Lo-Zar spots snake in a tree about to strike the princess and breaks free from his bonds and saves her life. Agreeing to go with them, Lo-Zar then saves the princess from a zebra stampede and later when she purposely jumps off the cliff meant for Lo-Zar, the jungle hero swings on a vine and saves her. Keah then reveals that she intended to kill herself so that Lo-Zar would not be put to death for her. However, realizing that their legends are false in light of the fact that Lo-Zar saved the princess three times, the wise man of the group proclaims that Lo-Zar is not the "Monarch of Evil" and orders the effigy smashed. Lo-Zar then bids farewell to the Egyptians and returns to the jungle.

Leopard Girl is relaxing in the jungle when she spots a lion about to attack an antelope and her child and fights the lion off. She then leads the lion to a cache of meat that she discovered so that the lion can have something to eat.

Along the way she runs into Peter and she explains what happened and Peter decides to solve the problem his own way: By shooting Fang.
