Transcript
On the heart of the jungle comes a savage cry of victory. This is Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle. Yes, it's Tarzan brought to you by CBS Radio, where America listens most. But before we begin tonight's story, remember the danger.
Can lurk in your home. Keep danger away. By keeping medicines and sharp implements away from the reach of children. By keeping rugs anchored. So grown-ups won't slip. From the black core of dark Africa, land of enchantment, mystery and violence comes to one of the most colorful figures of all times.
Transcribed from the immortal pan of Edgar Rice Burroughs. Tarzan, the bronze, white son of the jungle. And now in the very words Mr. Burroughs, the story of Two in the Bush. For many days, Tarzan has been following a wretchedly ill, kungal buffalo, hoping to aid the trembling beast.
But each time he drew close to chide away, staggered on, plunging ever northward toward the dense bush country, beyond remote Gerahadi. Suddenly the pitifully suffering creature lurched into a wide clearing, and Tarzan was amazed to behold a collection of small buildings, dozens of animal-filled cages, and an immense aviary containing hundreds of captive birds.
As the now hemorrhaging buffalo tottered toward the largest of the buildings, a man emerged, elderly but unbent, and possessed of the most powerful-looking hands Tarzan had ever seen. Oh, hey, you. Humans are not welcome here.
I've improved even less welcome before I leave. With a sight of caged animals and birds as aroused my curiosity and my anger. Oh, keep quiet. Thank you, sir. The animal needs all my attention. Here, help me hold him down while I give him a shot from this street.
