The Inferior Five are recruited by the C.I.A. to locate Dr. Livingroom who went missing in the Congo seven years ago. Darwin of the Apes is to act as their guide. Darwin leads the heroes to the lost city of Oompah where Dr. Livingroom is still playing a hole of golf after seven years. Oompah is ruled by a high priestess who wants to sacrifice the heroes and Darwin. With the help of Darwin's elephant Tantrum, the Inferior Five escapes and returns home with Dr. Livingroom.
