In Africa, a lonely Konga finds a blind white hermit in a cave being menaced by giant crabs. Dispatching the crabs, Konga befriends the hermit who convinces him to initiate peace between two African tribes; the Pygmies and the "Blue Men" (giant natives with bluish grey skin). During a misunderstanding, the hermit is accidentally killed by one of the Blue Men. Saddened by his passing the two tribes become friends and Konga, alone once more, walks off into the jungle.
