Synopsis

"Count" Bart, an Australian exile, earns the trust of the Maharajah of Barogar. When the Maharajah dies, Bart seizes power, pretending the Maharajah is alive but too ill to be seen by anyone, and pretending that the heir, whom he has imprisoned in the Himalayas, is off on a hunting trip. Investigating, the Phantom discovers that Bart is planning to force the heir's fiancee to marry him in order to gain a legitimate claim to the throne. Bart captures and seemingly kills the Phantom, and is terrified when the Phantom returns. The Phantom follows Bart to his fortress, where he rescues the heir.
