Prince Kelo, the Jungle Prince, was the adopted white son of King Banok of Balkania, in the Siamese jungles. His adopted father was killed by Carnov in an attempt to take over the throne. Kelo managed to escape with the aid of Sik, his faithful servant. The Prince, remembering the legend of Balka, the tiger guardian, goes to read the inscriptions on the tiger’s statue. The myth went that whenever the ruler of Balkania is murdered, at sundown the statue will come to life and seek revenge. The legend ended up being true, and Carnov is forced to confess his crimes by Balka before the tiger returned to his stone shape.
