Forbidden Cargo

Two gun runners, Gunther and Tinkler, are providing rifles to Tanyika, the Asian leader of the Murani tribe so that he can fulfil his aspirations of becoming leader of all of the Masai lands. Sheena discovers a sick Murani warrior who has escaped from their camp and she sends Chim to summon Dr Carr and Bob. The doctor diagnoses typhoid and leaves to work on a vaccine while Sheena and Bob track the source of the infection. When Bob and Sheena question Gunther he claims to be a trader. They become suspicious when Chim discovers boxes of rifles while Gunther is checking on Tinkler, who has become ill. Bob and Sheena observe the camp from a nearby tree but Bob sprains an ankle when a branch breaks. They are captured and put into a tent with Tinkler, who frees them in exchange for a promise of medical aid. Tinkler lures Gunther into the tent and he is captured by Bob and Sheena (below). Bob shoots Tanyika with Gunther's pistol and the Murani disperse without a leader. Dr Carr vaccinates Bob and Sheena and peace is restored to the jungle.
