The story:
In an effort to stop the constant conflicts between the Llongo and Wambesi tribes, our Phantom's father arranges a betrothal between the 5 year olds Prince Lloni and Princess Wamba.

Later, in our Phantom's time, a now reluctant Lloni is finally summoned back to the jungle to marry Wamba despite being deeply in love with the beautiful nightclub singer Exota, leaving the Phantom deeply divided between honouring his father's decree and answering the demands of a modern world...

Watch out for:

The Phantom's own marriage problems in the States

A secret Phantom code being relayed via tom-tom drums and a radiophone call

The head of the Llongo warriors and Prince Lloni in a secret fight in the Skull Cave

The kidnapping of Wamba
