**"The Jivaro Indians' Curse"** follows two adventurers who stumble upon the head-shrinking ritual deep in the Brazilian jungle and attempt to steal the sacred formula—a decision that sets off a chain of betrayal and supernatural vengeance. When one abandons his injured companion to the Jivaros and flees with a sample of the mysterious potion, he thinks he's escaped the danger, but a mysterious package waiting for him at home suggests the jungle's dark magic has a longer reach than he imagined.
