An expedition, lost in the jungle, seeking the legendary jewel, “The Eye of Kow-to-foo-zay,” finally finds the temple which they have been seeking and the savages to whom it belongs. But who is the more civilized? The explorers or the savages themselves?

- Lauren Lockstock – another explorer
- Natalie Prufrock – yet another explorer
- Pinky – the explorer’s trusted and faithful dogsbody
