The Phantom is onboard a ship speeding westwards towards Paris and Diana, but a short stop in Algiers sees him walking straight into a trap set by local thugs. Can the Phantom apprehend the gang before his ship sails?

Meanwhile, The Phantom faces jeopardy on yet another front. Determined to make Diana forget the Phantom, Lily Palmer embarks on an elaborate scheme to prevent the couple from ever seeing each other again.

Watch out for:
