Lorna the Jungle Queen #4
Rampage
Greg Knight has been hired by a man named Boggs to hunt down and capture animals for his circus. Their operation is interrupted by Lorna the Jungle Queen who tries to convince them that the animals are happier in the jungle than cooped up in cages, but Greg refuses to listen to the opinion of a woman and Boggs is motivated by his business. They leave Lorna, but Lorna is not through trying to convince Greg of her point of view.
As it turns out, Boggs is running a cruel operation, starving the animals and making them go mad with hunger in order to get better prices on the animals when they sell them to the circus. They next set their sights on Agu the giant ape and convince Greg that they have no intention of capturing him, only shooting film of the giant primate in action. Leaving Boggs' assistant with the frenzied animals they go out looking for Agu. Left alone the assistant is grabbed by one of the apes and strangled to death. The ape then frees himself and the other animals.
Meanwhile, Lorna is spying on Greg and Boggs as they track down Agu. As they approach Agu's domain, Boggs shows his try colors by trying to shoot Greg in the back, but he fights back, but Boggs succeeds in knocking him out. Agu appears and is angered by the intruder in his land. Boggs defends himself with his rifle shooting Agu in the shoulder but Lorna attacks him, stopping any more shots from being fired. She then orders Agu to flee and the large primate complies. Boggs is about to shoot Lorna when suddenly they hear the roars of the hungry animals. Reviving Greg, the trio flee from the rampaging jungle beasts but come to a cliff. While Lorna and Greg swing to safety on vines, Boggs is left alone to face the animals he has treated with cruelty and they force him off the cliff sending him falling to his death.
In the aftermath of the danger, Greg realizes the errors of his ways and Lorna capitalizes on his remorse by pretending to be afraid so that he will hold her close to him.

Devil's Lagoon
Lorna and Greg Knight are out fishing along the river when they hear the cries of a native swimming in the water. They watch as the man is pulled under the water by the Devil of the Lagoon, a massive octopus that lives in the waters. Lorna and Greg dive in to try and save him but are too late and are forced to flee.
They swim to shore where they meet with the local tribe who explain that the Devil of the Lagoon have taken many of their people. When the chief of the tribe asks Lorna to kill the creature she agrees but Greg protests her putting her life at risk. With no other choice, she convinces the locals that Greg is responsible for bringing the Devil to them and they take him prisoner. This allows Lorna to dive into the water and face the Devil of the Lagoon. Lorna slays the Devil with her knife and drags its corpse to shore to show the locals. However, even though the monster is dead, they still blame Greg for bringing the creature to their village and are about to burn him at the stake unless Lorna can return their people.
Lorna dives back into the river and finds the creatures cave and finds all the missing natives alive, apparently kept below in underwater caves to be eaten later. Lorna frees them and brings them back to their tribe. Seeing their loved ones alive and well, the tribe agrees to let Greg go free.
As they leave by boat, Greg gets back at Lorna for putting him in danger by pushing her overboard and rowing away.
