Searching the jungle she spots a helicopter swooping down on a herd of Gazelles and snares one in it's net. Lorna tries to stop the helicopter but fails when the chopper takes off. Suddenly a rhino charges as her, but Lorna is able to evade it's charge and stuns the creature before it can harm her. Just then Greg Knight and a group of natives arrive at the scene. Aware of the danger, Greg once more tells Lorna that the jungle is no place for her and tells her to seek safety someplace else. Lorna leaves his presence but is determine to stay.
Swinging through the jungle, Lorna spots the helicopter flying over again. Climbing a tall tree, Lorna is able to jump at the aircraft and grab hold of it's landing wheels. The helicopter passes over Greg Knight and his party, and he spots Lorna on the wheel and he decides to follow after it. However before the chopper lands at it's camp, the pilots notice Lorna holding on and hover over a crocodile infested lake and begins trying to land there. Seeing no way out of the danger, Lorna jumps off instead and lands on one of the crocs and forces it to swim her to shore.
The chopper lands and the pilots, two animal hunters named Aggie and Joe, come at Lorna with a gun. Joe explains that they have been hired to capture animals that are to be used in experiments. While this is being discussed, Aggie tosses away her cigarette starting a wild fire in the dry conditions. As the flames begin to rage, Lorna makes a run to the caged animals and sets them free. Aggie and Joe try to get clear of the flames. Joe stumbles into the lake and is eaten alive by the crocs in the water. Aggie is then confronted by the animals that Lorna set free and the maul her to death.
Soon a rain begins to fall, putting out the fire and in the aftermath of the carnage, Greg Knight arrives with his party. He once more berates Lorna for being in the jungle as it's a man's domain and she jokingly asks if she can stay by him, which he angrily refuses.

The Lost World
Lorna's friend and guardian M'Tuba has been stung by the rare Morta plant that has a deadly poison that will kill him in a matter of hours. The tribal medicine man tells Lorna and Greg that only the cure is the juice that comes from the Morta plant. When they learn that the only place where the Morta plant can be found is in a place the locals call the Lost World, but nobody knows where it exists. However despite the warnings from the medicine man that there are dangerous beasts in the Lost World, Lorna and Greg are determined to find it in order to cure their dying friend.
Searching for the Lost World, the pair come across a giant condor that swoops down at them. When Greg tries to shoot it, Lorna stops him then uses a lasso to rope up the bird, pointing out that it must have come from the Lost World and they can ride it when it flies back home. The condor does just that and they are soon attacked by a sabertoothed lion, easily defeating it. However, this attack is witnessed by Gau the caveman who rules over the Lost World. Gau calls upon the other animals and leads them on a charge to stop Lorna and Greg.
Meanwhile the pair have found the skull shaped Morta plants and removes one from it's stocks. When Gau attacks then, Lorna stabs him with the teeth like thorns of the plant, poisoning him. This puts Gau into a coma and the animals immediately stop their charge. Since they are intruders into Gau's land, Lorna uses some of the plants juice to cure him and they then leave on the same condor that flew them there. Returning to the medicine man's hut, Lorna applies the antidote to M'Tuba, curing him of his illness.

Double Danger
Greg Knight has brought Lorna the Jungle Girl into town in order to buy her some normal womanly clothing as he hopes it will convince her that the jungle is no place for her. Greg leaves Lorna with some money at a store and tells her that he will pick her up later. As Lorna is looking at different clothing, she is spotted by a crook named Joe and his girl Grace, who is the spitting image of Lorna. This all plays into Joe's plans to knock out Lorna and have Grace take her place in order to steal diamonds from a local tribe.
While Lorna is in the changing room, Grace knocks her out and she changes clothing leaving Lorna with her identification papers. She then turns Lorna over to Joe who says he is going to get rid of her. Grace then goes outside and waits for Greg Knight to return and tells him to bring her back to the jungle. Unaware of the switch, Greg agrees to take her back. While Joe ditches Lorna off the side of a road, Grace tricks Greg into thinking that the Ukasi tribe is dealing with an epidemic. Greg tells her to go to the diamond supply in central Bugu which they have on hand for such crisis. Grace swings away marveling at how her ex-circus skills and study of Lorna's exploits have made it so easy for her to trick people into thinking that she is Lorna.
Meanwhile, the real Lorna comes to and is attacked by a cobra, but she easily defeats it. She then swings back to her tree fort and changes into her own jungle outfit and checks on Mikki who has stayed home because he's feeling ill. Greg pays her a visit and asks her about "her" trip to Bugu for diamonds. Lorna doesn't understand and wonders if there is something wrong with her memory and decides to go to Bugu to investigate.
There she come across Grace just as she is about to take some of the diamonds to bring back to Joe. Seeing the impostor, Lorna attacks and easily bests her double. She then brings Grace back to her hut. There Greg cannot tell the difference between the real Lorna and the fake until Mikki proves who the real Lorna is by climbing up on her shoulder. With the imposter faked out, Greg has the authorities take her away.
