What happens
Tarzan, the jungle hero, has returned his tribe to safety after rescuing a marooned party of white travelers from cannibals. Learning that Jane has been taken aboard a ship by pirates, he dives into the ocean and swims toward the vessel alone. On shore, Clayton, Donald and Francois watch in alarm as he disappears into the dark, knowing the pirates may shoot anyone who approaches. Meanwhile, the pirates hold their captives on board, and Jane, confined to a cabin, tries to gather her thoughts while the crew prepares for trouble. This episode of the Tarzan series, based on the novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, features James H. Pierce as Tarzan and Ann Burroughs as Jane Porter.

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.
