Forcefully embarked on the “Red Witch”, the ship of the ruthless Captain Nilsen, Zagor and Chico arrive in the southern seas. An eccentric English naturalist wants to reach a volcanic island called Little Africa, where a rare coleopter lives, the Pisum Alatum. They find it, but also find volcanic eruptions, hostile natives and a giant octopus, which Zagor must face…
This is beginning of first Zagor large trip outside Darkwood which will see him go all the way to Florida and than back to Darkwood via mainland.
