On a zoology expedition up the Amazon River Professor Challenger makes an inexplicable discovery. Back in London his claims are ridiculed throughout the professional community. Reluctantly he recounts to journalist Edward Malone 'Curupuri is the spirit of the woods something terrible something malevolent something to be avoided. None can describe its shape or nature but it is a word of terror along the Amazon. Something terrible lay that way. It was my business to find out what it was.'

They journey to the depths of the Amazon well provisioned and armed to the teeth. But how little they are prepared for what they find there.
