A suntanned traveler shares his tale about a village on an island. What fear has struck the natives? The superstition about the fire drives the white man to investigate what’s behind the strange noises, but the horrors of the fire dog don’t seem to scare away the chief either. The trail leads to the sea
The chief offers running commentary as the two pursue the truth behind the fire dog. Armed with a spear, the attacking dog is brought down by the chief. With the danger removed, our world traveler reveals the phosphorescent water where the very natural dog had been hunting for the fish that live in the pool.
Knowing the natural explanation, will the islanders see the foolishness in their fire dog? Of course not. They now celebrate the brave chief and his conquering of the fire dog.
