Transcript

Tarzan of the Apes, from the novels by Edgar Weisburrows, with Mr. James H. Pierce as Tarzan and Mr. Lan Burrows as James Potter. This is an American gold seal production. Professor Porter and his party, captured by cannibals, gained their freedom through their supposed supernatural power, which appeared to bring rain.

Word is brought that James, the professor's lost daughter, has been seen at the native temple cave with Tarzan. Though sensing a trap, the whites determined to investigate. Meanwhile, Jane and Tarzan at the cabin in the clearing decide to go swimming. Jane is attacked by a crocodile.

Now, are you ready? Hold your breath. At the Hugh's James' first sight, Tarzan swings into the trees and speeds saw the pool. Now he's just above the scene of the savage drama. Only a few yards separate Jane from the reptiles.

With a savage growl, Parzan leaps. Jane clutches frantically at the slippery mud of the bank. The great jaws of the monster open to Caesar. Parzan lands in the water beside the brute. This unexpected attack takes the crocodile attention from Jane, and it turns upon Tarzan.

Gimla dives, but Tarzan retains his hold. Relax it now means certain death. Again and again, he plunges the keen blade, tilt deep into the mighty saurian. Tarzan's lungs are bursting for air. Can he hold out?

He must, but in his death, I can ease Gimla's hoots to the surface. Tarzan feels his lungs anew. The underminutes, cranks his tail-weeled this knife again, again, again, loop dives, one more, but not before Tarzan has glimpsed the score of sinister bombs, driving into the water from the opposite bank.
