In the first story, she follows an elephant to the elephant graveyard. Two greedy explorers follow as well, where they find a wealth of precious stones and elephant tusks.
At the graveyard, Fantomah confronts them in her skeletal form, warning them of their impending doom. One explorer stabs the other, but is soon mired in quicksand and suffocates.
