What happens
Professor Porter's party, posing as medicine men, are held near a cannibal tribe's village while searching the African jungle for his daughter Jane. Jane, believing her father is nearby, has been taken with Tarzan toward the village, and the natives have overpowered them both and bound them for a sacrifice meant to bring rain. Tarzan struggles to loosen his ropes while Jane, unable to move, speaks with him, and the witch doctor carries Jane from the hut. Tarzan works free and attempts to rescue her as the villagers gather. The episode is from the Tarzan series, based on Edgar Rice Burroughs' novels, with James Pierce as Tarzan and Joanne Burroughs as Jane. The broadcast is dated November 11, 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.
