David Lean, the latest client of Bat Batterton, reveals to Zagor and Chico that these are members of the infamous Thugs, the deadly cult of Kali, goddess of death and destruction.
Zagor sets out to stop the fanatical stranglers, only to discover that not even the seemingly respectable David Lean is without guilt…
