This issue contains two stories: "The Lamp of Three Wishes" featuring Lance O'Casey, in which a group encounters a dinosaur (Tyrannosaurus Rex) emerging from a jungle while trying to escape from pursuing monkeys; and "Nyoka the Jungle Girl," where Nyoka agrees to help filmmakers document gorillas for a museum, but sets a trap to capture one of the creatures for their exhibition, with plans to transport it by wagon while keeping it caged and subdued.
