"Deadlegs" Flint, an embittered paraplegic living in the wikt:Special:Search/Kongo, controls local natives by dispensing to them small quantities of sugar and liquor (or substituting the latter with kerosene). He also astonishes and frightens the natives by performing staged magic tricks, which give the appearance that he has supernatural powers. Assisting him with those tricks are his fiancé Tula, two thugs—Hogan and Cookie—and a loyal native, Fuzzy. Flint has spent the last 18 years plotting revenge against Gregg, a man who had crushed his spine in a fight before he ran away with Flint's wife. The crippled man since then has built an "80-mile circle" around his jungle compound, an area patroled by his henchmen and where no one can enter or leave without Flint's consent. As part of his revenge plan, he also arranged years ago to have the infant daughter of Gregg and his former wife raised by nuns to be "clean in body and mind" within the safety and seclusion of a convent in Cape Town, South Africa. Flint sends his man Hogan there to bring the daughter, Ann, to him. In Cape Town, Hogan disguises himself as a missionary and convinces Ann, now a young woman, to go with him to see her father.
