Synopsis:
Congo Bill answers a request from plantation owner Jack Brent. A strange ghost man calling itself the Thing has been menacing the plantation and killing natives. Brent had hoped to sell the land, but his price has dropped because of the trouble. Congo Bill investigates and discovers the Thing is wearing armor to protect it from bullets. With the help of O'Toole, Bill is able to capture the ghost and expose him as Mr. Tate, a land buyer who was trying to drive down Brent's price. With Tate in custody, Brent decides to keep his land for a few more years.
