A man hears the story of a wooden idol which points to an expensive gem and gets his buddies to follow him to Africa. The natives shun the black raven as evil magic, and their luck seems to get worse and worse as they head deeper into the continent's interior, until his friends desert him to head back to civilization. He finds himself pursued by lions, and with a snake pit in front of him, he hurls the statue against the rocks where it breaks apart. When he does this, the lions turn away, but he sees that the gem was concealed within the statue, and it now rests at the bottom of the snake pit.
