Not long ago Tomek was chasing Hunhuzas on the border with Manchuria and making his way through the Siberian taiga, and now he is a guest in Australia. Learning about the arrival of the young man and his friends in the country, zoologist Carl Bentley, an old acquaintance of Vilmovsky, invites them to visit, where he makes travelers a very tempting proposal - to organize an expedition to the depths of New Guinea in order to get a few birds of paradise. After discussing the possible difficulties of this enterprise, the company sets off in a renewed composition. Sally, Tomek's sweetheart, does not want to let the young zookeeper go alone to the land of bounty hunters and joins the expedition. In search of birds of paradise travelers have to stop near local settlements. And if some natives are quite friendly and help travelers in their work, the others are ready for any perfidy, just to get rid of the foreigners forever....
