The story

At the Explorers' Club in London, Dr Moran tells the other members about "a tribe in the depths of the Amazon jungle" which has "a miracle-working JuJu that can bring the dead back to life" and that he's going on an expedition to get it. He finds the tribe and witnesses a secret ceremony in which a young woman, entranced by beating drums, is consumed by a large carnivorous tree. Moran then nearly dies from "jungle fever".
