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.
