What happens
Tarzan learns that the Punea people of the Congo are struggling after a long dry spell, and he takes an interest in their troubles. Two outsiders, Herbert Graves and Alexis Varen, arrive in the jungle searching for gold, with Varen seeking revenge for his brother's death. Tarzan helps the Punea and tries to keep peace between the newcomers and the native workers hired for their mining venture. Graves and Varen also discover that the land holds a different kind of wealth, which begins to shape their plans. The story continues through tension and danger in the jungle.

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.
