The Phantom discovers that one of the native children, Toma, is actually a Western boy. He finds out that Toma is the only son of a deceased English missionary, who had been killed when he was travelling home to claim his rightful title as Lord Revel. The missionary's brother, who is now Lord Revel, seems to be behind the conspiracy. Lord Revel tries to conceal the crime but finally feels that he cannot kill an innocent boy. The ex-Lord is turned over to the police, most likely to be hanged, while his unknowing daughter Enid is left with the task of taking care of the little boy.
