Plot

Construction of a new beach resort threatens a jungle valley thought to be sacred by the local people who believe that it is the domain of a powerful spirit of nature - a jungle goddess no less. It's not long before the spirit is fighting back and soon the jungle is threatening to take over the beach. Snakes and lizards are becoming the regulars at Maria's Cafe and it's up to Jack, Mojo and Claudine to try and restore balance.

Notes & Themes

Jack once again returns to the tropical parts of the world for a new series of adventures with Mojo and Claudine. While she's made Jack the captain of her 35' trimaran, she's the one directing their travels.
