What happens
Stranded in the jungle after their safari deserts them, Major Burton Ashley, Jeanette Burton, Terrence O'Rourke and Dr. Wong Tai camp by a waterhole. Tarzan rescues O'Rourke from a lion and a leopard and agrees to lead the group toward a native village. Later, a monstrous yellow-skinned half-human creature enters the firelight and hurls a spear at Tarzan, who kills it with his knife. The group learns of Tarzan's upbringing among the great apes and of his past as Lord Greystoke. Tarzan then leads them up into the trees, away from the sound of approaching drums, to spend the night on a platform of interwoven branches.
A jungle clearing near a waterhole, and later a tree platform high in the jungle canopy, in Africa.
Characters: Tarzan, Major Burton Ashley, Jeanette Burton, Terrence O'Rourke, Dr. Wong Tai
Listen for: The sudden appearance of the yellow-skinned creature at the edge of the firelight, and the drums heard at the end.
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.
