The Warumba Treasure - A Rip Kirby Comics
This story is from a time when the use of counterfeit jewelries was not yet discovered. During such things as shooting a movie, they used original stuff. On such a shooting, the producer appoints Rip Kirby the head of the security team. To cut the cost, the other two team members are Honey, Kirby's girlfriend and Desmond, the butler. Kirby recognizes the stuntman to be an ex-convict. The chief of the Warumba tribe stands alert holding a spear and guards the Warumba treasure. The real Warumba gold. During the shooting someone replaces the treasure chest with a phony one. As a practical joke, that someone also fills it with rocks. The three suspects are the stuntman (we already know he's the one, so we'll stop right here)...
