Lo-Zar swings through the trees of the Black Swamp, north of Matubi Province. He avoids the path of two dinosaurs wandering through the swamp and comes upon a poacher named Pete. Lo-Zar apprehends Pete, and turns him into the Matubi police.
Lo-Zar discovers that the hunters are searching for Uranium and are in connection with the Soviet Red army, who are likewise in the jungle.
Lo-Zar begins tracking the Reds, but must avoid being eaten by the dinosaurs of the swamp. Landing atop a tyrannosaur, he baits it into fighting a brontosaurus. While the two animals are distracted, he finds the Reds.
The Soviets capture Lo-Zar and keep him bound inside their camp. Lo-Zar lets out an animal cry that summons Gata the elephant. The elephant obeys Lo-Zar's commands and demolishes the camp. It tosses two soldiers about with its trunk, and presses its foot down upon their leader, Ivan, trapping him. Once Lo-Zar is freed, he has Gata release Ivan and he is turned over to the district police.
