Ralph Thorn and Ayida Patel were imprisoned in cells on the Amazon River while competitors took their place in industries. Ayida, a voodoo priestess understands mind control, and teaches the technique to Thorn. They fall in love and become lovers, and eventually escape from prison; but Ayida is struck by a poisoned dart and falls into the river to be eaten by piranhas, the cannibal fish of the Amazon. Unable to save her, Thorn’s boat is carried on downstream.

Man of The Mist: Thorn yanked the edge of his rain jacket up in front of his face like it was a cape, his eyes piercing out from under the brim of his fedora. He started a slow humming sound, which changed to a hiss as a swirling gray mist began to surround his vanishing form.
