Synopsis

Using the swamp as a base of operations the Swamp Rats are a plague upon the area. Sending the Jungle Patrol in get the Rats two captives. The Phantom steps in as the JP's Commander and prevents a large offensive. Attempting to stop the Rats the Phantom is caught himself and left for dead. Returning the Phantom frees the Patrolmen and uses them to mop up the rats, leaving them with a personal commendation for Col Weeks. In 200 years these are the 1st known patrolmen to ever see the commander and their description was "Uh--He was masked!"
