Tarzan visited the mysterious ruined city of Opar that flourished in the days of bygone civilization but was now inhabited by a strange horde of blood-thirsty, apelike priests headed by La, the beautiful High-Priestess of the Flaming God. At that time he brought back a very small portion indeed of the immense store of ingots of flaming gold which he discovered. The present story tells why Tarzan returned to the mysterious city and what he found there.
Jungle Tales of Tarzan presents new adventures and desperate encounters in his native jungle. His conflict with Bukawai, the old witch-doctor, in which he meets craft with craft; the grim jokes he perpetrated upon the terrorized blacks of Mbonga's tribe; his conflicts with the fierce denizens of the forest, all have their part in this thrilling narrative.
