When Prince Mobo returns to his jungle home educated abroad, his obsession with gold and the power it represents transforms him into a tyrant—enslaving his own people and corrupting them with liquor and weapons to fuel his greed. Sheena and Bob find themselves imprisoned for opposing his brutal reign, unaware they're about to face a deadly ordeal that will force the chief himself to confront what his son has become. The jungle's balance hangs in the balance as civilization's corruption threatens everything the Taoti tribe holds sacred.
