Speaker 2 (01:10):
Following their escape from a band of half human yellow
skinned savages, Tarzan and his friends take to an underground
river in a dugout canoe, which carries them beyond the
chain of mountains. Because of a waterfall, the party is
forced to land and abandon their dugout while seeking a
means of reaching the river below the falls. They are
ambushed and captured by a second party of yellow giants
(01:33):
mounted on elephants. The entire company is transported to a
distant walled city in the depths of the jungle. Upon
their arrival, the ape man and his friends are left
in a strongly guarded building, while Mungo, leader of the
yellow men, goes to report to Ateaya, queen of the
Giant savages. During his absence, the captives are discussing the
(01:54):
possibility of escape. When the door opens and the giant
Mungo re enters with instruction, choos to conduct the captives
before the queen.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
We are ready, Mungo, lead the way you come.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
That's the difference. This ain't the door we came in.
Careful of pitfalls, Taza.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
It looks already enough for work is gone. The stairway
probably leading to the road.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
To the top of the wall. This house is built
against the outer wall.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
At least we'll have a good view of this very
interesting city.
Speaker 4 (02:35):
My friends couldn't retackle Mungo Tartan and make a try it.
Getting away each dark enough to try scale in the
outside of the world.
Speaker 7 (02:43):
Once in the jungling, we would be retaken almost immediate
and probably killed out of hand.
Speaker 5 (02:49):
Yes, probably handling Mungo would not be sa difficult to
rock very alone. Look over there. Besides that, what star
a dozen or more gods are waiting for us?
Speaker 8 (03:01):
Yes, and besides Jerry at the top of this one
must be all of thirty feet from the ground.
Speaker 9 (03:05):
Oh, it was just a thought.
Speaker 7 (03:07):
Anyway, If we leave things to Tarzan, our chances for
escape will be far better.
Speaker 5 (03:14):
It is unfortunate that we could not have dined before
this audience with her savage majesty, when that is so
much better on a full stomach.
Speaker 8 (03:24):
Oh, doater one, How can you joke at a time
like this? Dreadful one will probably have us all murdered,
sent before entertains with the inner.
Speaker 10 (03:34):
Man well satisfied, my child death should not.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
Be difficult to me. However, it was a mere figure
of speech. I should not worry too much about this, Queen.
Speaker 11 (03:45):
Moane, Mademoiselle pod too.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
I have been in much worse situation with Tarzan, and
we have always won through. As you Americans say, let
us not cross the bridge until we reach it, and
it's far.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
Speaking of bridges, we seem to be crossing a sort
of course. We all stone bridge leading to that central building.
Speaker 12 (04:02):
We didn't see this from the edge of the valance,
or even when we came into the city.
Speaker 13 (04:06):
It's on the opposite side from which we came in,
behind that high round tower.
Speaker 10 (04:10):
Sort of building.
Speaker 12 (04:11):
Do you suppose that he is the tower couldn't have
been built by these.
Speaker 9 (04:15):
People, by any other, Jeannette.
Speaker 5 (04:17):
It is an excellent example of nature's own work. What
it represents to these savages would be difficult to surmis.
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Well, we'll probably find out very soon. We seem to
be going there or at peace, to the building surrounding.
Speaker 11 (04:31):
In the palace of the Queen.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
I suppose, I think so.
Speaker 13 (04:35):
I don't know what else it could be, unless there
are dungeons for us.
Speaker 14 (04:39):
To net all this in the very heart of what
we call darkest Africa.
Speaker 6 (04:46):
If it weren't for all those half clothed, gigantic, yellow
skinned people, one might very easily imagine oneself in one
of the older European cities.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
There are more things in heaven and Africa than a
dreamed of in white Man's philosophy.
Speaker 15 (04:58):
In my brain is very true, monsieur doctor, very true.
Speaker 9 (05:03):
But this Queen Ataya.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
We are about to interview as rural or such a
place as this.
Speaker 11 (05:08):
She cannot be entirely so Hi.
Speaker 9 (05:11):
Exactly, I.
Speaker 10 (05:13):
Believe we are to be very greatly surprised.
Speaker 8 (05:16):
I wonder what sort of woman will find. Probably be
some huge, yellow skinned Amazon.
Speaker 12 (05:22):
At the rest of these women.
Speaker 11 (05:23):
I am thinking of question. Your question will be answered immediately.
We're coming to the palace of whatever this pile of
rock represents.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Oh, mungo, Ah, I'm what they are.
Speaker 9 (05:43):
Fine, Joe.
Speaker 11 (05:44):
Look at those gates on chain. The place is almost impregnable.
Speaker 14 (05:48):
These are, that is true, against anything but modern siege guns.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Oh ah, not far out to what they are.
Speaker 13 (05:58):
You go in, Donald, does this place remind you of
another place you've seen not so long ago?
Speaker 3 (06:08):
These wide corridors, this high ceiling.
Speaker 11 (06:10):
You mean the Temple Abashir.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes, there is much difference between that and this. Where
those corridors were gloomy and dark. These are well lighted,
and there are guards all over this place.
Speaker 14 (06:20):
And you see the pictures painted on the walls, hunting scenes,
battle scenes, you just like those in our share.
Speaker 7 (06:27):
Yet there is a different Most monami. The Hesiharians were
descended from the Egyptians. These people are being the bon
dieu alone of what.
Speaker 13 (06:43):
As a rock, says Donald. We'll find that out soon enough.
Those doors we're coming to at the end of the corridor,
the guards have opened them.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Arriving at the open doorway, the guards surrounding the captives
halt not only by Mungo, tars Andy's friends enter a large,
brightly lighted chamber. Crossing it, they approach a low platform
seated in a sort of throne. On the platform is
the glamorous veiled figure of a woman. Right and left
of the dais stands several giants dressed in short leopard
(07:15):
skin tunics. At the waist of each hangs a long,
double edged sword. In silence, Mungo and his captives approach
the foot of the dais, where they hawk. The seated
woman rises, slowly, lifts the long veil covering her entire form, and.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Drops it at her feet.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
A little gasp of sun surprise from each member of
the white group as they stand and stare in amazement
at the regally magnificent.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Figure before them. The heavy veil, as it.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
Falls to the ground, discloses a form covered with a clinging.
Speaker 3 (07:45):
Gauze like robe.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Of white cut to reveal arm, shoulder, throat, and breast
of soft, ivory tinted skin. A lope of diamonds encircles
a slim weight. On small feet are sandals fastened with
stunt of gold.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
The woman's eyes are.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Large and deep set, dark and shadowy, a broad and
noble brow, on which hair blue black as a raven's wing,
grows low. The face is delicate, with straight features, surpassingly
beautiful as our Taiar is. Her face has stamped upon
it a look of honnorable experience, a deep breath.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Of evil passions.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
For a long, silent moment, she stands gazing thoughtfully, first
at one then the other of the white group. Presently,
in a voice soft and alluringly husky, she addresses them.
Speaker 12 (08:35):
How come the strangers to the place of the yellow men?
Speaker 16 (08:38):
And what do you want here? How is it that
you hold your life so worthless as to place them
in the hands of a tail.
Speaker 12 (08:46):
Queen of tour.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
You ought to know how we came Tau By jove,
did you hear that?
Speaker 11 (08:51):
One?
Speaker 6 (08:53):
She said, tawn, Is it possible that we've been brought
to to the city we were seeking?
Speaker 9 (08:59):
Not only is it possible major, but very very probable.
Speaker 12 (09:03):
You say, I ought to know how you came why?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
Because we were brought here by Mungo. Ask him, I
do not know.
Speaker 12 (09:11):
I asked the question of you strangers.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
And I repeat, I do not know.
Speaker 12 (09:16):
Who are you?
Speaker 8 (09:17):
I am Tarzan of the Apes, Tizan of the eighth
I do not understand.
Speaker 12 (09:24):
You are seemingly unmanned. Since when have men become eight?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
I am king of the tribe of Kerchak.
Speaker 12 (09:32):
I have never heard of such a tribe. Sure so
you are a king, a king who has only a
leopard skin for covering. And who are these others friends?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Under my protection?
Speaker 12 (09:47):
Under your protection?
Speaker 17 (09:49):
You say you believe yourself able to protect them as
well as yourself from Ataya?
Speaker 3 (09:55):
Why not?
Speaker 12 (09:56):
I shall answer that question later. The woman there, is
she your mate? Tarzan? No, why do you lie to
a Taya?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
I do not lie. There is no reason for it.
Speaker 12 (10:09):
Speak woman, who are you? I am the net Berson.
You are Tarzan's mate. Speak the truth lest you regret it.
Speaker 8 (10:18):
Tarzan, answer that question at yours, however, No, I am not.
You are not without some beauty or face in form
and this Talzan is a man. But no matter you
there with the narrow expressional side.
Speaker 9 (10:33):
Who are you, gracious queen? Am called Wang Tai. I
am a doctor of science.
Speaker 12 (10:39):
Of what country are you? You do not resemble these others.
Speaker 9 (10:42):
I come from my country called China.
Speaker 12 (10:45):
I have heard of it. It is a great distance
from her. What are you seeking here?
Speaker 9 (10:51):
Why?
Speaker 5 (10:52):
Colleagues, and I pardon Major Button, Actually chant Rock and
Janette Button. We were searching for the same city tour
when we became lost in the younger We were found
by Tanzan and Lieutenant Dana. But we were under the
impression that Thor was a city of ancient Rowans.
Speaker 16 (11:10):
Ancient there is one time, but ruins Tor has two
that you see it now? People by a strong race
of men for many generations. My house has governed here
for a thousand years.
Speaker 12 (11:24):
I am the last of my line.
Speaker 16 (11:26):
When I die without an air, the next ruler will
be one of these yellow men.
Speaker 9 (11:32):
And how is it, a queen that you speak English?
Speaker 12 (11:35):
The rulers of Toor have always spoken English.
Speaker 16 (11:38):
Many of my subjects speak it, as does Mungo, chief
of my warriors.
Speaker 12 (11:42):
But enough for the present.
Speaker 3 (11:44):
Mungo, wait a minute, what are you going to do
with it?
Speaker 18 (11:47):
We reported here in the palace until I have decided
what I should do with here.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Decided.
Speaker 12 (11:54):
Now you are as to live tour.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
Who come wan flowman Bongo, he comes from k to talk.
They are let him enter, unpoo Bongo.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
He carried Tarzan, one of the car for devils.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Yes, listen, true Wambo er.
Speaker 12 (12:23):
Mumbo. Looking to look.
Speaker 16 (12:28):
He's pointing a Tardan and you and Terry and this
man Tango, chief of my outar. God says that you
Tarzan of the egg and these others he's many.
Speaker 12 (12:38):
Of his men.
Speaker 7 (12:39):
Is it true?
Speaker 3 (12:40):
Yes.
Speaker 16 (12:41):
According to the laws of Tour, a chief has the
right to avenge the death of any of his men
in personal combat with him who has slain them. I
cannot change the lawd Tarzan Tango claims that right of you.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
When is it to be?
Speaker 12 (12:56):
And where here Tarzan? And now? And hope to.
Speaker 19 (13:00):
Keep you here with me.
Speaker 12 (13:03):
The Tongo will kill you.
Speaker 13 (13:05):
He is a mighty I am not worried about him.
Let him take care of himself. Donald, step back with Jannette,
the rest of.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
You back to the wall.
Speaker 12 (13:12):
Have I weaponed Tarzan of the ape?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (13:14):
Then defend yourself and maybe God's protect you.
Speaker 19 (13:18):
Au Congo.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
For the roar of curate Tongo, his straight cudgel raised
high above his head, leaped forward the ape man. Big
Tarzan's answering challenge echoes through the bass chambers. He springs
forward to meet the furious attack of the Yellow savage.
Speaker 11 (13:36):
They Hiten's too big for him, n kennet. I'm going
to give him a hand, no more more.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Reading in a hissing arc, the Giant's cudgel descends toward
Tarzan's head. Simly, the ape man sidesteps the law tarsing
Tongo to plunge awkwardly past him.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Again and again.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
The giant rushes his heavy club, screeping harmlessly through the
air as Tarzan easily avoids each curious assault.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I'm luckily.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
The car man changes his tackic ah with a howl
of cabbled rage. Congo springs to the side of one
of the watching yellow men with the long double edged
sword from its teeth of his side and leaps back
to renew the attack. Tarzan's hand drops to the long
keen knife at his waist. Stepping lightly outside the sword's
hissing arc, he springs in closet under Tongo's great yellow arms.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
His knife flashes twice like lightly.
Speaker 11 (14:23):
He steps clear.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Toungo's swords tatters to the floor, his great yellow hands clawed,
He's breast splolling.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
He turns to a ta with a weird death cry.
He clashes forward on his face.
Speaker 20 (14:39):
Ahm, the cuts have killed Kenny if he didn't hit again.
Speaker 10 (14:57):
Venerable accus of e Alcester.
Speaker 5 (15:01):
This, this man Fidis is salising Great Scott Donald.
Speaker 11 (15:05):
He doesn't show even the slightest sign of a pea,
a man made of iron.
Speaker 7 (15:09):
I myself sometimes believe Tarzant to be almost superhuman.
Speaker 11 (15:13):
Measures.
Speaker 17 (15:14):
Oh, it's wonderful thing, Tarzan, you have bested the mighty
TONGUEO in single comeback.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
You are in truth, that hem you well decided about us.
Speaker 17 (15:26):
Yes, I have decided for the present you and your
friends will remain in for at the guests of our tale.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
We are to be prisoners.
Speaker 12 (15:37):
Then we do not understand, Taylor said.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
Yes, we are free to come and go as we please.
Speaker 12 (15:45):
Yes, Tarzan, within certainly have.
Speaker 5 (15:49):
Your permission to study the culture as sextiud this.
Speaker 19 (15:55):
You may go where you please.
Speaker 12 (15:57):
Within the walls, of course, will not be molested by
my subject.
Speaker 18 (16:03):
No, no, Mungo will take you to your daughter. But
before he does so, that Tya has something to show you, Mungo.
He's that one of the prisoners of that tour is
got to the Hall of.
Speaker 12 (16:16):
Tantu some uncle jem. This place gives me the creep.
I'd rather be auple at jungle away from that woman.
So she's she's a fiend.
Speaker 11 (16:34):
We've got to take things as they come to take
close to us genetics. I don't press the good looking
little she devil. She don't believe you told the truth
about time time.
Speaker 12 (16:43):
I know she doesn't care. That's why I'm afraid of it.
Speaker 9 (16:46):
She looks at me as though she'd like to jealously jealous.
Speaker 12 (16:51):
Oh, no, doubt the woman, so surely not that a jealous.
Speaker 10 (16:54):
Woman always finds more than you.
Speaker 9 (16:57):
Or do you know, Michelle doctor, where a tea is taking?
Speaker 14 (17:01):
This?
Speaker 11 (17:01):
Probably a lendin It would make the present us quaco.
Speaker 14 (17:06):
I believe nothing, but wait those double doors the guards
are opening.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
As the heavy doors moved by two giant guards swing
slowly open, the little company finds itself on the threshold
of an enormous round chamber, a room hewn out of
solid rock. It is brightly lighted, by huge torches. Facing
the doorway, and seated upon a massive black rock throne,
is a gigantic figure, utterly hideous of burnished gold. The
(17:34):
head is that of a lion, the body and legs human.
The feet terminate in two huge town like claws, the
arms held straight out before the body. The fort between
them an iron grill, like the barred gate of an
ancient dungeon. Beneath the grill in the rock floor is
a square section of massive stone blocks.
Speaker 11 (17:54):
And did you look at that head? And I don't
know gorse be carried? I am blind, impossible, Terry, it's too.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
Monsieur rock is right ma shore. You see the car decoration,
the inscription covering its breast. They are deeply angry. I
am of the opening home.
Speaker 11 (18:12):
That figure is of solid gold.
Speaker 19 (18:15):
Oh, I wonder where they get it?
Speaker 5 (18:19):
These people must say, I'm at those large cleaning stone
the Barry's throat diamonds.
Speaker 11 (18:28):
The garry one. He's a fortune for the taking.
Speaker 10 (18:32):
Where they're like a page written in a million inks.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
Send you people know where we are, But what you mean?
Speaker 11 (18:40):
Why they kill Kenny cats? I believe we're in a
central rock tunnel.
Speaker 12 (18:45):
Tarzan of the eighth, and you others the same. Where
you are in the hall of Sacrifice. It is here
that we of our worship.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
Pan Ku and who or what is Tantu?
Speaker 12 (18:58):
Panku is the god of fire?
Speaker 19 (19:01):
That golden figure is his image?
Speaker 12 (19:04):
Why did you bring us here that you will see
presently when Mungo comes.
Speaker 5 (19:11):
Member, our daughter Raptor is a part of your palace.
Speaker 12 (19:15):
Yes, but it was not built by the hand of man.
Speaker 17 (19:19):
It has always could hear my ancestral constructed the talent
around it because of the fires of tor which are
far below these change.
Speaker 12 (19:37):
Ningoratre.
Speaker 17 (19:38):
Mungo, enter and let your men place this ski of
rator in the arms of Kantu.
Speaker 12 (19:54):
Tarzan of the Eighth, you as fire Tail.
Speaker 17 (19:58):
Brought you to the hall of Kantu. You shall see
now make hate Mungo.
Speaker 12 (20:04):
What are they going to do with that man Tazan?
They're changing him to the grill? What horrible thing is
that they are going to do now?
Speaker 3 (20:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Wait, this looks Tarzan very much like a sacrifice Atlayah.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Who is the man Mungo has on that grill?
Speaker 17 (20:19):
A sigh of record, Tarzan of the Eight, you will
thank you to Harmattaya and her people the will of
tang Ku that he'd die.
Speaker 11 (20:30):
You man, you're going to kill the poor devil without
giving him a chance to fight for his life.
Speaker 12 (20:35):
Thailand's few of the red hair.
Speaker 11 (20:37):
My hair ain't red, and I'll not shut up. But
by the saints of Old Island, Terry or raw to
not stand by and see a man you ever hate him.
I'm not killed without giving him a hand hold your tongue, Terrence,
you want to get us all killed. Those gods would
overwhelm us in and stop. Remember we are unarmed.
Speaker 14 (20:53):
If there were anything to keep them, monsieur or Tarzan
would do it.
Speaker 12 (20:57):
Ada.
Speaker 21 (20:58):
If that man is to be murdered, must we stand
by and look on who speaks of murder? Doratorian has
been condemned to death by sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Do what you like with your prisoner's Artaya. They are
nothing to me, but none of us.
Speaker 22 (21:13):
Are interested in watching the sacrifice of a helpless man
to your heathen god.
Speaker 3 (21:18):
As long as we are free to come and go.
Speaker 12 (21:21):
You're going now, you will remain and watch Tarzan and
all love you. Aye, I tell your wish it. Mungo
Sona Mungo to Tarzan Mongik.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
Eye at a tail's sharp command, Mungo growls a uctal
order to his men. They move forward and quietly surround
Tarzan and the party of whites. Before they realize what
has happened, each one of the group is grasped from
behind by two of the giant yellow guards. Tarzan, rising
and twisting like a snake, is about to break loose
from the bear like embrace of the two holding him,
when Mungo, at a sharp command from Ataya, places the
(21:55):
keen point of a gods sword firmly against the ape
man's chest.
Speaker 12 (22:00):
And I wish to harm you, charge doan of the apes.
Yet if you resist further, I shall order Mungo to
thus home his pod and your friends we will surely
be given into the embrace of Conto.
Speaker 10 (22:16):
Change more home than my friend.
Speaker 19 (22:23):
So it is faithful to us all. We must accept
the inevitable while.
Speaker 12 (22:28):
Counsel indeed one tie. If your friends follow it, no
harm will come to them.
Speaker 17 (22:35):
As of the apes, you and your friends are about
to witness that which no other like man has ever seen.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Watch close quickly moves to the side of the golden idol,
picking up a padded stick that lies on the blackstone throne,
where on the lion headed guard rests.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
She strikes three blows upon the deep toned gong.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
A door and the wall of the chamber behind the
idol opens huge naked, yellow skinned fire priest's center, each
bearing in his outstretched hands a blue flaming torch. Chanting softly,
the priests circle the juge iital three times. At the
completion of the last circle, Artail grasps an iron lever
in the base of the throne and pulls it toward her.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Beneath the grills, the.
Speaker 2 (23:19):
Center block on the square section of stones slides back
with a dull, grinding sound. A tremendous draft of air
sweeps up to the hole in the floor made by
the sliding stone. A deep roaring sound is heard far
below in the depths of the earth as it conjured
up by magic. A monstrous column of blue flame rises
through the hole to hungrily envelop the iron grill and
the chain, the figure reclining upon it with a forward
(23:43):
crust double lever, Artail closes the stone craft. The roaring
column of flame vanisheth. The twelve priests, still chanting, file
out of the chamber.
Speaker 12 (23:56):
Silence of the eighth and Janette Burton.
Speaker 17 (24:02):
Thus are they punished to disregard the lords of horror
and the will of Attila.
Speaker 11 (24:10):
The fellows, Danish or Neuge. Nothing left but a few
ashes A wee better for.
Speaker 12 (24:17):
Us cloth death, death us are those deals we who disregard.
Speaker 19 (24:25):
My wish and will.
Speaker 17 (24:27):
It is the will of a tail, Tarzan of the Apes,
that you remain in four as king of the yellow
Men and the mate Dava tail. You have heard the
will of a tail Cardan of the Eppe. Upon your
own for rest, the future safety of Jeanette Burton and
(24:49):
those others speak, What.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
A terrible woman.
Speaker 12 (24:54):
Why did we have to come to this awful place?
Speaker 15 (24:57):
I have seen Tazan andless similarly situation very ably.
Speaker 12 (25:02):
Well, Tizan, you answer.
Speaker 3 (25:06):
I can't answer Nowata tomorrow.
Speaker 18 (25:09):
Perhaps then you shall rest and come to me later
with your answer. Mungo will conduct you to your quarters, well,
Mungo Sasano on alof.
Speaker 22 (25:21):
There come Pazan white people, O Long Mungo out of
the great circular hall of Pantu. Through numerous well lighted corridors,
(25:42):
the giant Mungo and his guard of yellow men conduct
the whites to their.
Speaker 2 (25:46):
Abode a suite of two rooms and a distant part
of the palace. One large room accommodates the men, a
smaller one jeanette. There are stone couches, a low, massive
table of wood, any leopard and lions skin into a
small basin set on the floor of the larger room.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Fresh cold water flows.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
There are several long, narrow windows screened with heavy metal brills.
On the threshold. Mungo and his guard hawk yellow Giant,
motions his charges.
Speaker 3 (26:13):
To enter wild people. Stay here very soon, bring food,
a roof.
Speaker 6 (26:21):
Ah where you've found your city a tour I haven't
just by Jordan with a vengroom and know.
Speaker 11 (26:30):
That you phoned it? Major, what's the devil are you're
going to do with it?
Speaker 9 (26:34):
Get out?
Speaker 11 (26:35):
Escape at the first opportunity, which.
Speaker 19 (26:37):
My friend, will not be so simple that there would
not be so ingenuous as to leave as un guarded.
If you open that door, you will find that we
are well supplied with yellow soldiers.
Speaker 11 (26:48):
Well, just for the satisfaction of knowing, I'm going to see. Oh, no,
you're right one, You're sixed of the headen devils.
Speaker 15 (27:00):
It is quite evident that a taya does not trust
her Yes, a charming young lady.
Speaker 12 (27:07):
Charming, But she's an out and out thing. Said that
you hate every one of us.
Speaker 11 (27:12):
And there's one of us she don't hate.
Speaker 15 (27:15):
Af pro pos that, dom An, what are you going
to do about a tail's ultimatum?
Speaker 12 (27:20):
He'll not agree to were offul at. None of us
would permit it, not even to save our lives. We
are agreed upon that.
Speaker 6 (27:31):
At least she doesn't intend to start us. If I'm
not mistaken, these fellows are bringing food, sure, and.
Speaker 11 (27:35):
I don't mind admitting that I'm hungry.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
Wait a minute, you two, Why old god.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
Brianza, You might just as well have addressed the stonewall.
You would have received the same answer. They did not
understand your monami or were hard to keep their mouths shut.
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I guess you're right, Donald, I didn't even seem to
hear me.
Speaker 11 (27:55):
Yes, mute maybe, Oh they got this smells good whatever
they taste.
Speaker 12 (28:01):
What do you say to eating.
Speaker 11 (28:02):
First and talking afterwards?
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Yes?
Speaker 12 (28:04):
Well, East, how can you men eat when tomorrow now
we may.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Dial social art?
Speaker 11 (28:10):
Didn't I hear one tell you a while back that
the fellow dies like a gentleman on a coold stomach?
Sit down here, Jeanette, and at some of these porridge
you'll feel better.
Speaker 10 (28:18):
And my dear, we are far.
Speaker 9 (28:20):
From being dead.
Speaker 3 (28:21):
We'll find a way out somehow, Jeanette, I have.
Speaker 6 (28:24):
A feeling that even if you did agree to her
off at Tarzan, the rest of us wouldn't get far
before her yellow gods would murder that golden.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
Either fact, they're in this chamber of sacrifice, and those
very beautiful gems around its neck.
Speaker 19 (28:39):
Where do you suppose they came from Tarzan?
Speaker 12 (28:42):
One? You certainly aren't cotton.
Speaker 5 (28:44):
I contemplate nothing that, however, it might feel profitable to cultivate.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
That.
Speaker 19 (28:52):
Never mind, let us see what tomorrow things.
Speaker 12 (28:56):
Well, I suppose these stone ventures are the only dead
we can which one's man?
Speaker 3 (29:01):
I believe the other room is meant for you, Janette, No.
Speaker 12 (29:04):
Thanks, We're all in this place together, ankle him. I
don't intend being alone at any time.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
If I can help it.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
There's plenty of adventures in here. I'll take this one
in the corner.
Speaker 9 (29:14):
Good night, good night, good night, Jennette.
Speaker 11 (29:17):
It's in me mind, gentlemen, that there's no love in
a chi devil's heart for Jeanette.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
She still believes.
Speaker 11 (29:23):
Jeanette and Tarzana sweet.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
Hat right, Terry, A pair of skin may be white,
but her heart's black. She wants utah then, frankly, and
she intends having her way. She may let us go
if you stay, but I very much doubt it.
Speaker 11 (29:36):
Ramon, MAJORI I agree with you.
Speaker 7 (29:39):
Her demonstration on the sacrificial chamber upon that what did
she call him?
Speaker 11 (29:44):
A rat Ratorian was nearly a threat to impress us
with her power?
Speaker 6 (29:48):
Rat Ta ra ta by Joe, didn't she say that
she'd been sent to spy on her and her people?
She did that, from which one might infer the nearby
presence of another tribe, yellow.
Speaker 11 (30:00):
People, the mimical that these the sorrow right and it's so, mom,
what good would that door?
Speaker 23 (30:08):
They would as likely sacrifice us to some heathen god
or hid us to their own pet crocodiles as they
would these Thorians if they had us, the lieutenant's right, Major,
we'd probably only be stepping from one bad fix into another.
Speaker 11 (30:21):
Let's get out of this hole first. I will have
to spring along with a tear and keep his eyes
open for the chance to escape while he's doing it.
Speaker 5 (30:29):
Yeah, the woman has the left ear of type thing
and the right of remembrance. But on which side her
hearing is it?
Speaker 9 (30:37):
That period might be hazardant to guess.
Speaker 10 (30:41):
However, for her own sake.
Speaker 9 (30:43):
Then that must be kept inside of one of us
all the time.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Well all our friend Mungo return, Well time you.
Speaker 3 (30:54):
From long Mungo.
Speaker 22 (30:56):
Now up there, one of you and one man from
Guying not a Tao wants to talk to Wang and
me now to night.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Up there, won't talk you too.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
Come Gerry, I don't like it to Charlat. She's trying to.
Speaker 9 (31:12):
Break up our get us separated.
Speaker 11 (31:14):
He let's go to the divil tires.
Speaker 9 (31:15):
And we turn to it and let us follow Mungo.
Speaker 19 (31:21):
The fact that a thea has not sent for you
alone of this welfare.
Speaker 11 (31:25):
Goose, goose, momonoy, be careful. I sense that crap up
some kind. Why should a tail sent from Wong instead
of one of us others?
Speaker 3 (31:36):
I'll find out soon enough. I'm not afraid of autos.
Praps your eyes open you while we're gone. Come on, doctor,
all right, Mungo, were ready?
Speaker 11 (31:50):
Hey, lieutenant, that woman don't mean them do any good?
What does she mean sending for them at this time
of night when audation paper ought to be in bed,
he should like to know.
Speaker 15 (31:59):
My selfe However, so long as person and the doctora
together with her, I do not think either of them
nor in any danger.
Speaker 11 (32:08):
And then she's a large matter, and we think she is.
Speaker 6 (32:10):
I wonder why she sent particularly for Wong instead of
one of the others. Well, then that's self evidence. She
is frankly and saturated with him. But she certainly can't
have designs on Wang too.
Speaker 11 (32:23):
By the way, Majieur and she so.
Speaker 9 (32:26):
One, is it good friend of yours?
Speaker 11 (32:28):
You have known him a long time, only since Nairobi,
some three months, he Terry, here'shed about that major.
Speaker 6 (32:34):
When I began the organization of my safari for this
expedition in Nairobi, Wong came to me with an attractive
partnership of her. These credentials were excellent from the old
Imperial Museum in Pepe. I accepted as offer. And well
that's that, Monsieur Terry.
Speaker 11 (32:50):
Oh, he came down on the same boat with us
from port side.
Speaker 6 (32:54):
I discussed my parents freely with him, look at advice
and suggestions. I saw that he knew his jungle. I Rather,
Janette prevailed to fund into a company. She's the attraction
dono as far as.
Speaker 11 (33:07):
You know, well, why joint? But for the fun of
it alone? What are you driving at, Lieutenant Dana.
Speaker 10 (33:13):
Himed tu munami?
Speaker 11 (33:15):
No ten at all? Life.
Speaker 9 (33:16):
I was nerely.
Speaker 10 (33:17):
Curious to know why.
Speaker 11 (33:18):
I don't like your questions, Dano. Now the turn of
wyce you're using in them? Come clean?
Speaker 9 (33:23):
What's your cry?
Speaker 11 (33:25):
What's in your cranmes? Your So far as you are concerned,
there is nothing in my craw.
Speaker 7 (33:36):
I am thinking about Monsieur the doctor Wong Tie. They
called Ima Japan Tou, and this diamonds around its neck
seemed to fascinate him.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Meanwhile, Tarzan and Wong Tie, surrounded by a dozen or
more gigantic yellow guards, have traversed several corridors, descended a
long flight of worn stone steps to enter at last
a dim lit, narrow passageway. At the entrance to this tunnel,
Mongo halts his men for the sign the emotions Tarzan
and Wong to follow him.
Speaker 9 (34:12):
Mhm, where do you make a this tez?
Speaker 11 (34:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (34:16):
Certainly not going to a their audience chamber or the
Hall of Tan too.
Speaker 3 (34:21):
No, we must be far below either of those rooms
in the central rock tower, somewhere Mungo. Where are we going?
We go out there or end of tunnel? She wait?
Speaker 5 (34:37):
If she demands your answer to her aultimatum, tonight, Sagan.
Speaker 9 (34:42):
What are you going to say?
Speaker 16 (34:43):
Eh?
Speaker 3 (34:44):
I don't know yet. I'll give her an answer. Quiet
now rapidor white people go in ore they are wait.
Speaker 9 (34:58):
Come on, Wong, I think God does a man.
Speaker 3 (35:08):
Good back? Walk open the door.
Speaker 9 (35:13):
I come up. She's passing from outside.
Speaker 12 (35:16):
Out He's coming.
Speaker 1 (35:25):
Welcome back. Well, this is a solid story for beginning
to really introduce Ataya as the villain. Clearly, she's trying
to establish her authority and wants everyone to understand that
their lives are in her hands, and that's particularly true
(35:48):
of Tarzan. So she is conning, she is clever, she
is intelligent, and she is ruthless. Oh mate, for a
potent combination, a roar is still a roar, and that
temper could cause some really deadly problems for the group
as time goes on. And of course it's interesting with
(36:12):
Darno beginning to have some suspicions about Wong and his
motives since we just listened to the previous serial with
the same actor playing act in Tom But we do
well just to see who this character is and plays
out to me as the story goes on. Speaking of performers,
(36:36):
we can add to our cast the actress who plays Teia,
who is none other than Barbara Luddy. Now, Luddy was
known for many things throughout her career, probably during the
Golden age of radio. Her biggest part was the female
lead on the First Nighter program. This was listen to
(37:00):
by people across the country. However, her lasting legacy with
most people comes down to her work with Disney, in
particular with animation. She was Lady and a Lady in
The Triumph, she was Kanga in The Many Adventures of
Winnie the Pooh, and also did voice work in Sleeping Beauty,
(37:25):
one hundred and one, Dalmatians, and Robinhood. So yeah, this
role is kind of far from what we would conceive
as a typical Barberotti part, but she does a really
good job with it. It is kind of interesting to
hear what someone who is known for buts gentler roles
(37:48):
does with something like this. All right, well, now it's
time to think. Our Patreon supporter of the day Thank
