Nyoka the Jungle Girl #4

Nyoka lands in South Africa just as news breaks of a massive diamond discovery—and a mysterious porcelain goose hidden by Colonel Reeves to keep it safe from the thief Joe Bart. When a smooth-talking antique collector offers Nyoka a thousand dollars to recover the goose from a Mulu village, she takes the job, only to find herself caught in the middle of a dangerous misunderstanding about the colonel's whereabouts. Now trapped and running out of time, Nyoka must untangle who's really after the diamond and why everyone seems to think she knows more than she does.

When a conniving visitor named Joe Bart arrives in the village seeking a clay goose that Nyoka has already claimed, he sets out to reclaim it—and isn't above resorting to theft and treachery. Pursued through the jungle and across perilous waters, Nyoka must outrun a determined crook, fend off wild animals, and navigate river rapids all to protect the mysterious artifact. With danger closing in from every direction, this jungle girl proves once again why she's more than a match for anyone foolish enough to stand between her and the prize.

Nyoka sets out into the jungle to locate the brilliant Dr. Good, whose life-restoring discovery could save a foreign diplomat's life and prevent war—but she finds his laboratory in chaos, with the scientist unconscious and his treacherous assistant Jurgo now in possession of the miraculous penisulfalin serum. Racing against time and a madman's megalomaniacal schemes, Nyoka must recover the formula and stop Jurgo from using it to create something far more sinister than a cure.

Boy Scout Bob shares his good deed of the day with an authority figure—a lesson in selflessness involving a household remedy and sibling sacrifice. Meanwhile, in the jungles beyond, Nyoka finds herself pursued by a fearsome creature called the Jurgobeast, caught in a deadly game where her rescuer may not be who he claims to be.

When Trader Tom spots a canary with a beautiful singing voice, he's eager to buy the bird—but the seller insists the sparrow must come along too, at double the price. In this quick-witted jungle tale illustrated with characteristic humor, the real secret behind the canary's talent gets its reveal.
