Lassie #60

In "Between Life and Death," the Martins find themselves stranded and imprisoned after a forced landing in northern Nigeria, accused by a suspicious tribe of bringing sickness to their Emir. With time running out and the Emir's life hanging in the balance, Paul sends Lassie on a perilous journey across the desert to fetch a medicine kit from their stranded plane.

In "The Raiders," Po Yin and Kyan Zit stumble upon a band of forest bandits plotting a raid on a nearby village. When Po Yin secretly warns the villagers, the ambush is foiled and the raiders flee—only for their leader, Bo Gyi, to vow revenge.

In the village of Gelwa, young Ruth’s bold insistence on hygiene embarrasses a local witch doctor during a public exchange of goat milk. Seeking revenge, he sabotages a fragile bridge the Martins must cross, testing their courage and Lassie’s loyalty when danger strikes mid-crossing. With quick thinking and a helping paw, Lassie saves the day—only to see Ruth offer the humbled witch doctor a new set of sanitary tools, turning a moment of conflict into quiet understanding.
