What happens

Tarzan, now Lord Greystoke, meets Brian Gregory's father and sister at a hotel in the French African port of Loango. They have come searching for the missing archaeologist and were recommended to Tarzan as the only man in Africa able to help. Tarzan agrees to lead their expedition into the interior, and the Gregorys decide to trust him as he asks to be known only by his jungle name. Meanwhile, the villains Tom and Margaret plot to obtain a map showing the location of the forbidden city of Opar. The episode is part of the Tarzan radio series.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
