Tarzan finds himself the target of greedy, evil men. Stranded on a desert island, his wife and son kidnapped, Tarzan’s plight seemed helpless. But with the help of Sheeta, the ferocious panther, and the great ape Akut, Tarzan crafted his escape with the giant Mugambi. Yet the trail of the kidnappers led deep into the interior–and it would take all of Tarzan’s skills to reach his family in time.
'The entire affair is shrouded in mystery,' said D’Arnot. 'I have it on the best of authority that neither the police nor the special agents of the general staff have the faintest conception of how it was accomplished. All they know, all that anyone knows, is that Nikolas Rokoff has escaped.' John Clayton, Lord Greystoke—he who had been 'Tarzan of the Apes'—sat in silence in the apartments of his friend, Lieutenant Paul D’Arnot, in Paris, gazing meditatively at the toe of his immaculate boot. His mind revolved many memories, recalled by the escape of his arch–enemy from the French military prison to which he had been sentenced for life upon the testimony of the ape–man.
