The issue contains two stories. In the main Nyoka story, a scientist's water supply is sabotaged with a powerful drug that weakens people, and Nyoka discovers a sponge absorbing the contaminated water before alerting authorities; she later pursues the culprits into the jungle, where she battles enemies and encounters a mysterious caravan. The backup feature "Horace Hotstuff" is a comedic story in which the titular strong man boasts about his strength to his friends and becomes involved in a pickpocket chase that lands him in jail.
