Synopsis:
By request of Reba and Rick Morgan, Margot and Lamont venture to the abandoned lost civilization of Angkor Vat that vanished, leaving behind a stone city surrounded by seven-headed cobra statues as the only evidence of its existence. Reba’s father, Professor Forbs, was murdered and in his dying breath warned his daughter to use a copy of the stolen map revealing the location of the civilization’s records in the abandoned city buried deep in the jungle. Dodging a king cobra in their tent, a guide bent on betraying his employers and creeper vines, our heroes discover the truth inside the ruins of the old temple. Rick committed the murder unaware that the professor’s knowledge of the city’s records was incorrect. Reba knew it but played along wanting to smoke out proof of her father’s killer. She changed the features on her copy of the map and knew that her father’s killer would use the duplicate map to go to the secret room that only the killer would know. Angry, Rick threatens to shoot his wife, but The Shadow knocks the gun out of his hand — but not before Reba shoots and wounds her husband. After turning the Morgans over to the authorities, Lamont and Margot are depressed — the secret of the lost civilization will remain a mystery for all time.
