Synopsis:
After being given a chemical that will turn them into zombies, Tex and his friends are taken to a tent by the Fuzzy-Wuzzies. Inside they find other men who have been turned into zombies. Fortunately Tex and the others took salt to counteract the chemical. They then proceed to give the zombies salt in order to reverse the process.

While the men are recovering, Tex leaves the tent and challenges the chief of the tribe. He is overcome and placed above a fire, as the natives plan to kill him. Tex calls for help, which bring Bob, Gargantua, and the former zombie men to his aid. Working together, they destroy the rest of the zombie chemical and escape from the natives.
