8128-29-30 The Son of Tarzan Independent
In Three Episodes
The former "Tarzan of the Apes" has become Lord Greystoke. living happily in England. Due to the apprehension of his mother, Lord Greystoke's son has been kept in ignorance of his father's early history. The boy shows., as a natural inheritance, a tremendous interest in wild animals.
In spite of the objections of his parents, he insists upon visiting a theatre where Ajax, a trained ape, is being exhibited. Ajax is none other than "Aleut," Tarzan's former companion in the African jungle. He recognizes in Jack the familiar lineaments of his father, and when the father comes to the theatre to take Jack home, he addresses Akut in the ape language, to the great astonishment of all the spectators. Of course, after that Lord Greystoke has to tell Jack the story of his early life. Jack secretly visits the ape's trainer and learns some of the ape language.
When his father decides to purchase Akut and return him to the jungle Jack, by a clever ruse, leaves home and goes to Africa on the same steamer with the ape. Later the two take up the life together in the jungle. Soon afterward they rescue a little waif, Meriem, from the cruel Sheik who is supposed to be her father, but who really had stolen her from her parents when a very little girl in revenge for punishment properly inflicted upon the Sheik's brother by Meriem's French father, Captain Jacot. Jack, Meriem, and Akut live a life of thrilling adventures in the dense African jungle.
Paulvitch, a former enemy of Tarzan, conspires with two other renegades, Malbihn and Jenssen, to capture Meriem and obtain a large reward offered for her return to her father. At first they are unsuccessful. They capture Jack and endeavor to make him lead them to Meriem, wounding him when he refuses to do so. Meriem is recaptured by the Sheik, escapes, and is attacked by a tribe of apes ; is rescued by Jack, now known for his prowess as "Korak, the Killer," only to fall into the hands of Malbihn and Jenssen.
Paulvitch lures Lady Greystoke out to Africa on the specious promise of restoring her lost son to her, and while Paulvitch and the Sheik are gloating over the double capture of Meriem and Lady Greystoke, they are overpowered by Lord Greystoke, "Tarzan," who has followed his wife into the African wilds.
Korak thinking Meriem is dead wanders disconsolately through the jungle with Tantor, the elephant. Korak is again seized by the Sheik and cruelly sentenced to be burned at the stake. Tantor comes to his assistance, pulls up the stake with Korak bound to it and rushes off with him into the security of the jungle. There again they meet Lord Greystoke. who discovers in Korak his long lost son and returns with him to Lady Greystoke and Meriem, who now finds in Jack the lover rather than the big brother of her earlier years.
