Description

"Small Game For Big Hunters"
by Philip Levene

A farm labourer is found on the Great South Road in a coma, dressed in tropical kit, sporting a deep tan and with a native arrow in his back.

The Avengers investigate, and discover that the arrow is of Kalayan design, and the tropical clothes were sent to a Colonel Rawlings in Kalaya, back in 1929.

Everything points to the Kalayan Ex-servicemen's club, a stones' throw away from where the man was found. The doctor who found him also succumbs to the mysterious coma, which the visiting expert Professor Swain declares to be of Kalayan voodoo origin.

Steed infiltrates the club and discovers some disaffected ex-colonial settlers planning to bring Kalaya to its knees with a new strain of tsetse fly. A Kalayan secret service agent is killed by one of the plotters, but the Avengers manage to quash the plan.
Exit the Avengers downstream, in a canoe.
