"In King Solomon''s Mines," Sir Henry Curtis and Captain Good
persuade Allan Quatermain to help them find Sir Henry''s brother
George, who has gone missing in the unexplored African interior
while searching for the legendary treasure trove of a lost kingdom.
Quatermain agrees to lead the expedition, though he has little hope
they will return alive. After suffering unimaginable hardships,
they find the treasure hidden deep within a mountain, but while
they are admiring the hoard the vast stone door closes. Their store
of food and water rapidly runs out and the trapped men prepare to
die, but in the nick of time they find a way of escape. On their
return trek to civilisation they succeed in the purpose of their
expedition when they miraculously come upon George Curtis, alive
and well. They return to England with enough of the treasure to
live in style, but Allan Quatermain lures them back for more
African adventures. In "Allan Quatermain," the trio undertake the
search for the kingdom of a warlike ''white'' race, another
expedition fraught with danger. A hazardous canoe journey along an
underground river leads them to Zu-Vendi, a land ruled by two
beautiful queens. Both queens fall in love with Sir Henry and this
explosive situation leads to civil war, several battles, many
funerals and a wedding.
