A crew of shipwrecked Englishmen suffers disease, cannibals, and other terrors, but in the midst of such horror the men find the fulfillment of a 2000-year-old promise. In the heart of the Dark Continent they encounter an all-powerful leader, the beautiful, mysterious, white queen of a central African tribe. Known only as She-who-must-be-obeyed, this queen captivates, baffles, and entrances our travelers with magical powers and supernatural abilities.
