The Ghost Walked at Midnight!
Lorna the Jungle Girl goes to the village ruled by her friend M'Tuba when she hears one of the people cry out. She learns that M'Tuba's nephew Baku was attacked by what he claims was a ghost. This causes trouble for M'Tuba as tribal law makes M'Tuba accountable for any deaths caused by the ghost, his sister-in-law begins trying to rally M'Tuba's removal as tribal leader so that Baku can take his place. Lorna manages to hold this off, asking to have a chance to get to the bottom of this apparent ghost.
After checking on the sleeping Baku, Lorna goes out into the jungle to get the aid of someone who can help her solve the ghost mystery. Meanwhile, the ghost attacks another tribes member, prompting M'Tuba's sister-in-law to once again call for M'Tuba being removed as tribal leader. Back in the jungle, Lorna finds Agu the Giant ape and convinces the mammoth primate to help her. Bringing Agu back to M'Tuba's tribe, Lorna confronts the people and tells them to give her a chance to deal with the ghost and goes out on guard duty. When the "ghost" attacks, Lorna is rescued by Agu who grabs the apparent specter and gets the tribes people. When she tells Agu to drop the ghost, M'Tuba's sister-in-law reveals that the "ghost" is really her son. As Baku falls, Lorna examines him and finds that he is covered in luminescent paint. M'Tuba's sister-in-law confesses that she tried to discredit M'Tuba so her son could take over the tribe. They are then taken prisoner and M'Tuba thanks Lorna for helping his people.
