Summary: Nine-panel comic strip in which Spareribs and Gravy, two explorers in Africa, are sent to catch a lion by the African king Woof-Nuff. Gravy ties Spareribs to a tree to lure the lion. He then climbs the tree to spot the lion. The lion comes and stares at Spareribs, who curls against the tree in fear. Gravy realizes he forgot to bring the gun up into the tree with him. Spareribs leaps to escape from the lion, pulling up the tree by its roots, causing Gravy to fall off. Gravy lands on the lion, killing it.
