The Phantom helps the Oralali capture elephants for work, but that cuts off the ivory supply for the Bandai, who then capture the Phantom to kill him. The Bandar rescue the Phantom, who negotiates a treaty. The Oralali may tame elephants, but the old ones will be released to go the elephant graveyard, where the Bandai will harvest the ivory.

Survival!
