She is seeking a notorious criminal named Spider Webb, a long-time adversary of Tyler, and perpetrator of a diamond theft for which Lora's brother was framed. Once in Africa, Tim is briefly reunited with his father, but the scientist soon dies from gunshot wounds inflicted by one of the Spider's henchmen during a struggle in the elephants' graveyard, where Spider and his gang were looking for a hidden cache of ivory.
