Tarzan and His Mate Page #3

Synopsis: In the first sequel to Tarzan, the Ape Man, Harry Holt returns to Africa to head up a large ivory expedition. This time he brings his womanizing friend Marlin Arlington. Holt also harbors ideas about convincing Jane to return to London. When Holt and Arlington show Jane some of the modern clothes and perfumes they brought from civilization, she is impressed but not enough to return. Tarzan wrestles every wild animal imaginable to protect Jane but when he disallows the expedition from plundering ivory from the elephant burial grounds, it is he who takes a bullet from Arlington's gun. Jane eventually believes that Tarzan is dead but he is nursed back to health by the apes. As Jane and the returning expedition are attacked by violent natives, we wonder if Tarzan can rescue them yet again.

What is it?

They came across a white man's campfire

a few hundred yards ahead.

A white man's campfire?

Pierce and Van Ness.

- He says it's still warm.

- Still warm?

- Come on, let's have a look.

- All right. Go ahead.

- My gun.

- No.

If they're close, they'll hear us.

Easy, Martin.

How old do you think it is?

Take cover!

- Pierce and Van Ness?

- Couldn't be anyone else.

- Notice the delayed sound?

- About 500 yards off, I'd say.

- Shall we have it out?

- We'd better not.

The base of the Escarpment's clearer.

Rather meet them there.

All right. You know the country

better than I do.

- We'll parallel their trail.

- Right.

No use in walking into an ambush.

All right, boys, come on.

Saidi, get them on their feet,

and we'll swing off a bit to the left.

Yes, bwana.

I don't like the sound of that chant.

I've hated it for days.

This is different.

They're frightened about something.

What's with them?

- What's the matter, Saidi?

- Mutia.

What?

It is the Mutia.

- It isn't any too soon to suit me.

- And a day ahead of schedule!

Juju, that's why they're frightened.

We can't lose time

just because they're afraid.

- Come on, Saidi, get them going!

- Yes, bwana.

Boys, get on your feet.

There's nothing to be frightened of.

- What's the matter with him?

- He afraid of Mutia.

- Not go, bwana.

- Get into line.

- Drop that spear and get into line!

- No!

Anybody else that doesn't want to go?

- Saidi, take the lead. I'll stay back here.

- Yes, bwana.

- Whip would have done just as well.

- Perhaps you're right.

He could have carried 150 pounds of ivory.

- What's the matter, Saidi?

- Van Ness safari boy, bwana.

Gaboni kill.

- Gaboni?

- Yes, bwana.

Gaboni all time arrow here.

Couldn't be Gabonis.

They wouldn't leave the body here.

- Why not?

- They're cannibals.

First make kill. Bye, embark, come back.

The wound looks pretty fresh.

They can't be far away.

The map.

Pierce must have it.

I wonder if he got...

Is this it?

The part we don't need.

If they'd made the Mutia,

no tribe would've followed them.

Sacred ground.

- What's that?

- Drum. Gaboni, bwana.

It's pretty close.

- We'd better make a run for it.

- Right.

Come on, Saidi, get them going!

- Make a stand?

- No, that's what Pierce and Van Ness did.

All right, come on!

Bwana, Mutia!

The Escarpment! Come on!

- Here they come.

- They'll never follow. The Mutia is sacred.

- He was on the Mutia!

- Lucky superstition for us.

We're out of range now.

What about a breather here?

We've got to make the top before dark.

Come on.

- Keep them going, Saidi.

- Yes, bwana.

- What's the trouble, Saidi?

- Too hard, bwana.

Let them stay where they are
