Plans to relocate Nigerian villagers to better farmland go awry when a witch doctor who fears losing his power over the people opposes the move. Lassie and the Martins discover a mysterious tunnel and pit where the witch doctor uses sleight of hand and other tricks to persuade the villagers to kill the whites and remain on their land. Lassie exposes the witch doctor as a fraud, and the villagers accept the offer of new land and homes.
