Joe Heath is a big fan of comic books and watching things in order. So they made this spreadsheet containing every serial, short, film, television episode, commercial, motion comic, and web series based on a comic book. Now they're watching them all. Previously, Joe watched the eighth chapter of Congo Bill. This time, they continue with the ninth chapter.

Someone turns off the knives.
The torturers break out of their cell and fight Bill and Kahla. Kleeg watches, then congratulates Bill on beating his men. He also takes credit for turning the knives off. He may have actually done it. I don’t know or really care.
Congo Bill heads into the inn’s bar and bumps into Bernie and Morelli who have just flown in.
Later, Bocar talks to Bill and says he no longer works with criminals and Bill should head his new expedition. Cameron joins in as he has heard of a tribe that can turn metals into gold.
The expedition heads out and is attacked by the Lost Tribe. Everyone starts shooting back. It gets a little confusing about who is shooting who, but Congo Bill definitely shoots at least one person.
The tribe corners them and takes their weapons. They take them to their village.
They all have a chat and the tribe spokesman says they want to be friends, if they will deliver some of their goods for them. I guess they’re okay with Congo Bill killing their people.
Bill wanders off and sees the witch doctor praying. He moves closer and is grabbed by tribe members. Cameron wanders over and is grabbed too.
They have violated sacred ground and the penalty is death. The Queen says hold on a second, their god will judge them. She orders that the two bowmen who are going to execute Bill and Cameron be blindfolded. If their god wills it, their aim will be true.
I’m kind of rooting for their god.
Should you watch it, though? Largely boring, but a decent cliffhanger.
Tune in next time for Congo Bill: "Chapter Ten: Trail of Treachery" (Available on YouTube.)
