What happens

Tarzan and Jane Porter are in the jungle after Tarzan rescued Jane from pirates and took her there to keep her safe. Lieutenant Donald, who had been captured by the pirates, escapes by tricking one of them into leading him to the edge of the jungle. Back at the pirate camp, the mutineers question Donald's companion, King, about what Donald told him. King is sent out to find the lieutenant, and meanwhile Tarzan and Darno hear the mutineers approaching through the jungle. The series Tarzan, from the Edgar Rice Burroughs novels, is broadcast with James H. Pierce as Tarzan and Juan Burroughs as Jane Porter, with an original air date of December 23, 1932.

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.
