When a witch doctor named Tudo demands young maidens be sacrificed to a lake monster, Sheena and Bob Reynolds rush to stop the ritual—but their investigation puts them directly in the path of Tudo's warriors and forces them into a desperate fight for survival. Hunted through the jungle and cornered near the village, Sheena must uncover the truth behind the monster and the sacrifices before the full moon brings death to the tribe's daughters. With the help of an old woman and Chim, and guided by secrets whispered in the darkness, the jungle queen prepares to confront both Tudo's evil and the creature of the lake itself.

Inspector Dayton suspects foul play when criminal John Maynor conveniently dies of a heart attack just before trial—but a visit to the crematory uncovers something far darker: Maynor is alive, having faked his death and disguised himself as his own brother to escape justice. When Dayton stumbles onto the scheme, the desperate criminals escalate their plan to eliminate anyone who threatens exposure, setting the stage for a tense confrontation at the furnace itself.
