Old Jungle Sayings
- "He who sees the Phantom unmasked -- dies at once -- horribly!"
Trivia
- This is the second time an old jungle saying is mentioned in the Gold Key Phantom production. However, just like the first time, the phrase "old jungle saying" isn't used.
- The name of the featured tribe is given as the Wambasi, as opposed to the established Wambesi. Weather or not it should be regarded as a misspelling or a different tribe remains an open question.
- While it is the second Gold Key appearance of Colonel Weeks, this is the first one to mention his name.
