The Phantom “ The Deadly Virus”

"Lunatex World Medicine" is a medical research company with new owners, Singh Corporation. Representing the new owners, Sorto Singh has a meeting with the company manager, Dr. Zebeke. Sorto Singh demands higher profits or there will be a change of management. Lunatex is researching a vaccine against pestilence in apes and Sorto Singh want to have a full report.
The pestilence do not transmit to humans. In a meeting with Sandal Singh, Sorto Singh suggest that the virus can be genetically modified so that it becomes zoonoses, that it transfers to humans. As the only supplier of a vaccine Singh Corporation would earn a lot of money. The deadly virus would be distributed through a measles vaccine that Lunatex also manufactures. The Lunatex company management would be kept in the dark.
In the Morristown township of Bengete, doctor Luaga is vaccinating the inhabitants against measles. A few days later many inhabitants are very sick from high fever. The newspapers write how Bengete has been sealed off because of the infectious disease. Lunatex manager Dr Zebeke is concerned that his own company may be involved. When he tries to investigate at work he is murdered by Sorto Singh and his men. When his wife is told by police that her husband has died from a heart attack she decides to contact The Phantom who agrees to investigate when he hears that Lunatex' new owner is Singh Corporation.
In a meeting with Sandal Singh, Sorto Singh reports that the initial tests in Bengete have been successful and that the virus will now be distributed all over the continent. Sandal Singh is very happy with the news. Sorto Singh explains that his men will murder the doctor who was involved in the vaccination programme, doctor Luaga.
Dr Luaga has figured out the link between the epidemic and the measles vaccine. In his Bengete clinic dr. Luaga is attacked by thugs but is saved by the Phantom. Dr Luaga explains that Lunatex is responsible. The Phantom sneaks into the Lunatex research fa
