Parnival Plunder is trying to teach his brother Kevin, better known as Ka-Zar, the ways of civilized man, but Ka-Zar finds it anything but civilized. Parnival also tells Ka-Zar about their fathers intention to use Vibranium to create advanced new weaponry, a lie fabricated by Parnival. Ka-Zar renounces his father's inheritance, giving Parnival control of his father's castle and monies. Ka-Zar later stumbles into a secret meeting where Parnival is ploting with Numa of the Mordrees and Quor of the Reptile-Men to drive off the indiginous Mordrees so that Parnival can mine the Vibranium found there (called anti-metal at this early date). Ka-Zar rallies with the Mordrees and drive off the Plunderer and his Reptile-Men.
