Comic Book Synopsis / Plot
Pat Savage awakens aboard a plane bound for South America where, her captors tell her, she will be sacrificed to Kuchulkan. Back in New York, Doc Savage, with Monk, Ham, and Long Tom, readies a plane to attempt a rescue but shortly after take-off the plane is attacked by the flaming serpents and destroyed. Renny, in Delezon, discovers followers of Kuchulkan carrying off the unconscious Johnny from the hospital and is beaten senseless. When he awakens he learns from President Diaz that the two foreign dignitaries have been similarly kidnapped. Meanwhile, Doc’s aides are on the way, Doc having sent up a remote-controlled plane as a decoy. Doc himself has gone to a refueling station in Miami, and sneaks aboard the villains’ plane when they make a stopover. Later, Pat manages to loose her bonds and fight off her captors, with Doc suddenly arriving to rescue her from a gunshot. The gun battle in the enclosed space ends with Doc grabbing Pat and leaping overboard.

This issue is chiefly one long chase scene, leading up to a big fight scene. Fortunately the battle in a small airplane is beautifully illustrated, with a “hold-on-to-your-hats” final panel to excite our interest.
