Sheena and Bob Reynolds encounter a safari led by the ruthless Bronson, who is beating a native guide—prompting the jungle queen to intervene and commandeer the guide for her own protection. When Bronson's crew reaches Tulaki Valley seeking a legendary jewel chamber hidden within Legonga Mountain, they exploit the ambitions of Ligao, the chief's son, who betrays his own father in hopes of claiming power and riches for himself. As Sheena uncovers the conspiracy and races to stop the plunder and save those caught in Ligao's treachery, she'll have to navigate sacred lions, deadly traps, and the valley's violent secrets.
