Nyoka finds herself trapped and cornered by a group of ruthless men who believe she holds the key to a cure for the jungle fly disease, but the only clue she has is a blank letter addressed to Dr. Lawrence. As they prepare to force her to reveal the formula’s location, she whistles for her loyal friend Jumbo, the zebrafant, hoping he’ll come to her aid. With Jumbo’s help, she turns the tide, outwitting her captors and using the very rope meant to bind her to free herself and capture her enemies.
