In the steaming jungles of Burma, man has a thousand enemies -- the wild animals, the snakes and poisonous insects, the deadly fevers.

With a handful of men and a heart full of courage, he fought his way through them...and with him he brought a strange prize -- ten million pounds in solid gold. Weekly British War comics digest.
