Admiring Bengali's Royal Necklace Collection, Diana is the sole witness of a bird stealing the magnificent Black Pearl exhibit. The Phantom rushes to save her, but is himself imprisoned as an accomplice. However, a mysterious "King of Beasts" soon masterminds a spectacular escape for the couple.

Unbeknown to everybody, "Poison" Ivy and his gangsters also have designs on the precious gem and lie in wait for Diana to claim their prize. They tail Diana and the Phantom, who in turn follow the remarkably clues to the "King of Beasts?? and his menagerie...
