Phantom
Phantom [Kit Walker]; small boy; ape
The Phantom fears that he is no match for his ancestors, who contended with nature itself. When a volcano erupts, apes kidnap a small boy to sacrifice. The Phantom rescues the boy, then diverts a stream to block the lava and protect the apes' home ground. He muses that a man is not the proper judge of himself... others must decide if he has failed or succeeded.

El Futuro
El Futuro; Colonel Pedro Gomez; Chief Sore; Garkin
In defiance of laws protecting a Mapoga homeland, gold hunters invade Mapoga territory. El Futuro tells the prospectors' leader that the Mapoga had once wiped out a 500-man army detachment, but are willing to tolerate the prospectors if they agree not to dynamite the fish in the streams. No fish will lead to an overabundance of insects, which will devour the vegetation. Garkin agrees if El Futuro will take part in a test of nerves with lighted dynamite. El Futuro wins, though the prospectors did not observe that he had pulled out the lighted fuse.
