Synopsis:
Tex and Bob are served dinner by the Gorrah of the sealed city. They are suspicious of their host. After dinner they are led to another part of the city where a trap awaits them. Tex and Bob escape the trap and find themselves just outside the city after being carried off by an underground river.

As Tex begins exploring the area he finds a man buried up to his neck. The man is being eaten alive by ants. Tex and Bob rescue the man who claims to be the real Gorrah. He claims that the one-eyed man they met earlier is an imposter.

Tex, Bob, and the Gorrah are then attacked by two giant servants of the imposter. After defeating them, the trio confront the fake Gorrah. The villain activates one of his own traps by accident and falls to his apparent doom.
