Tarzan and the diamond of our share. Tarzan with Dano and two hunters is leading a jungle expedition in search of Brian Gregory.
In the party are Brian Curry's father and sister Helen. Margaret, a mysterious Eurasian girl, is also with the Tarzan Gregory Safari. It is through Margaret that Artan Tom hopes to get possession of a map, showing the location of the Forbidden City of our share.
In the camp on the bank of a tributary of the Ubangi River, the white group is watching a native ceremony, when Lawson, the sweet hunter, spies a giant crocodile coming toward them. When he's gone ready, Lawson heads to the monster.
He slips and falls directly in the path of the oching ruffle. A tall tussage. For the mighty-pound tussage holds himself in the air to find directly front of the charging crocodile. Home-flaked jaws open wide and snap shut with a sickening crunch.
Like lightning, the eight-man reads a sign. He can leap to the side. His power of hands splashed out, planting himself like iron bands about the jaws. The huge Soriam's bloodshot eyes roll and mad agony. It's giant tail lashes, seriously.
Every muscle in its long body screams, baby! To break the death grip of this man thing! Slowly, relentlessly, Tarzan twists and bends the mammoth to decide and back. Behind him the eight man's friends watch and spellbound silence.
Tarzan's feet grip the ground. Under his glistening skin, the muscles stand out like steel cables. He gathers himself for a supreme effort! One terrific twisting lunge! Like a fusillator pistol shot, the cock-a-hounds were to be cracked sharply!
Out of Tarzan's hands, the monster slips to the ground. Lifeless. Good heavens! He broke that thing's neck. The strength of ten giants! Look, now he picks Larsen up just like a baby. Oh, come those boys down and get them back to their quarters.
