In this thrilling episode, Central Africa is plagued by attacks from an African man known as Cetezulu, also referred to as 'The Black Elephant'. Air Commodore Raymond dispatches Biggles and his team to hunt him down using their aeroplanes.

The adventure takes a turn when Ginger gets caught in a storm and crash lands, leading to the unexpected discovery of Cetezulu's secret method of traversing Central Africa unnoticed. With the assistance of a Masai warrior named Mishu, who seeks revenge for the murder of his employer, Biggles and his crew face local tribesmen involved in poaching.

With the help of Lieutenant Haynes and soldiers from the King's African Rifles, they track Cetezulu to a hiding place where he has concealed stolen cattle. Biggles and Algy use their aircraft to create chaos, allowing the soldiers to capture the gang. Ultimately, Cetezulu faces justice at the hands of Mishu.

Plenty of adventure. Each episode is quite short and has music and summary included. Can be difficult to find your place after you leave the story, unless you get the resume where you left off option. There are a few adverts also, but these don’t take up much time. You can sort of fast forward, which is useful. Sound effects of animals are absolutely awful. Lions sound like elephants, and cattle like people snoring or calling out. However each episode ends on some kind of cliff hanger. A lot of repetitious phrases like “ sizzling sausages” . I got through the whole story. I think it’s worthwhile to be patient and put up with the interruptions and sound problems. A bit of nostalgic fun
