Tarzan Escapes Page #2

Synopsis: Jane's cousins Rita and Eric Parker arrive in Africa searching for her. Their uncle has died and has left her half a million pounds provided she agrees to return to civilization. A professional hunter, Captain Fry, quickly agrees to escort them to the escarpment where rumor has it there there lives a great white ape. He's intrigued when told that the great white ape is likely Tarzan and his plan is to capture him and put him on display. When they all find each other, Jane agrees to return to London if only to ensure that her cousins get their late uncle's wealth. Fry manipulates Tarzan into believing that Jane will never return only to trap him. When Jane and the others are taken prisoner by warring tribesmen, it's left to Tarzan to rescue them.

- Come again, miss?

- Bugs.

The second half he left to Jane,

providing she was alive...

...and could be induced to return

to civilization.

Otherwise, the bugs get

the whole million.

And if you succeed in bringing

this good news to your cousin...

...you hope to profit

to some extent.

Well, I've staked every penny

I've got on it.

And if we fail, it means,

amongst other things...

...that Eric won't finish

his medical studies.

Well, if you're in a position

to adequately equip a safari...

...under the direction of a well-qualified

man, Captain Fry, for instance...

But then, you heard Captain Fry's opinion

of the whole enterprise.

If you and your brother care

to join me...

...I'll be making safari for the Mutia

Escarpment at 7:
00 tomorrow morning.

Bomba!

- Captain Fry...

- Don't waste your time thanking me.

You'll need to get properly outfitted

before you leave tomorrow.

Captain Fry, before we accept

your very kind offer...

...would you mind telling us

why you made it?

We'll say I need a vacation with just

a touch of adventure thrown in. Just that.

We'll be ready

at 7:
00 tomorrow morning.

Well, hang me.

The biggest blooming hunter

in the whole blinking continent...

...turning himself

into a glorified tourist guide.

And all for the sake

of a dash of adventure.

Oh, come off it, governor.

What's the idea?

Gonna try and catch you

that mythological white ape?

- You're right.

- Thank you.

You're right for the first time

in 10 years.

We're making safari

at 7:
00 tomorrow morning.

Knock down the steel cage

and box it to go.

- Don't stand there like a...

- Fool?

- Right. Get going.

- Yes, sir.

Look at those.

I say, aren't they

awful-looking creatures?

- We land here, Bomba.

- Yes, bwana.

Well, that's what I meant.

- Bomba, those four top boxes. Look alive.

- Yes, bwana.

But, Captain Fry, this place is a bog.

I'm sorry. I didn't choose it myself.

Get ashore, please.

Come along, Rita.

- Not that way, Miss Parker.

- Well, why not?

Ever chuck a stick into a hornets' nest?

That's our route.

The swamp will cover our tracks and it's

the right direction, as far as I can judge.

Well, you'll get through all right,

Miss Parker.

Pretty squashy going.

Oh, well, I like paddling.

Eric, look.

Wouldn't shoot if I were you. They won't

bother us if we don't bother them.

There's no sense in advertising

our presence.

If it's all the same to you, Mr. Parker,

I'd like to keep it a secret.

- Look at them all. Isn't it amazing?

- This is certainly a hunter's paradise.

You haven't seen anything yet.

Oh, look at that lot!

They're handy little things
