The Phantom: The Lake Lady

n Scotland’s misty highlands, the 21st Phantom arrives with Diana Palmer and his wolf, Devil, to strengthen clan ties. Village whispers of the Lake Lady, a spectral figure luring men to drown in Loch Morven, draw his attention as fishermen vanish. Legends tell of a betrayed chieftain’s daughter, cursed to haunt the loch. Investigating, the Phantom uncovers a smuggling ring led by Laird MacDougal, using hallucinogenic mists and diving gear to fake the Lake Lady’s appearances, hiding an arms cache. Diana decodes clan scrolls, exposing MacDougal’s global black-market ties. In a nighttime clash, the Phantom battles frogmen underwater, aided by Devil and pygmy allies. At a cliffside ruin, he unmasks MacDougal’s accomplice, shattering the operation. The loch’s peace restored, the Lake Lady’s spirit fades, and the Phantom leaves his skull-ring mark, vanishing into the wilds.
