Story 2 10 pages adventure; animal
Storyline

Major Dennis, Danny, and Rex are flying, but put down on an uncharted island for repairs. Come morning, the island starts sinking and they barely take off. Flying to a second island, the natives hide in fear until Rex saves a child from the river. They must pay tribute to the "evil spirit" who rules the sinking-and-reappearing island. Our heroes follow the tribute and discover a large statue that talks - because evil men hide inside. Rex routs them and Major Dennis fires rockets to destroy the false idol.
