Transcript

Transcend of the Apes, a character of Edgar Rysborough's famous book, in reality is the son of a titled English couple, Lord and Lady Greisto, who were put ashore by a mutantist crew in the jungles of West Africa.

The moon couple were left with tools and firearms, and Tarzan's mother and father built the little hut in which Tarzan is born a year afterwards. It's the night of their little son's first birthday. Lord and Lady Grace Doke are sitting in their rude but strongly built home.
