LOST PEOPLE IN A TRACKLESS JUNGLE
How strange the ways of fate—to bring together such an odd assortment of people to face the perils of the darkest continent!
"Gunner" Patrick, once a gunman, now fleeing from the perils of Chicago gangland, in the company of unsuspecting.
Lafayette Smith, a brilliant geologist, looking for rocks, but instead finding.
Lady Barbara Collis, aviatrix, lost in the wilds of a hidden valley with only.
Jezebel, a beautiful young Midianite, whose people think nothing of burning strangers alive.
Only fate could cause these various destinies to twine and intertwine, and only Tarzan, Lord of the Jungle, can rescue them from the savagery of Africa and the treachery of men.
