- This is an edited version of the 1935 serial "The New Adventures of Tarzan."
- At his English manor, Lord Greystoke - aka Tarzan - recounts his recent adventures in Guatemala. He had been there assisting Major Martling and Ula Vale in their quest for the Green Goddess, a totem worshipped by a primitive jungle tribe inside of which was hidden a formula for a super-explosive. They had successfully wrestled this totem from the natives and were heading back to Livingston when they were attacked by Raglan, a thug sent to steal the Green Goddess and its formula for Hiram Powers' personal use, and the Goddess is seized from them. On the trail of Raglan, they had to deal with his henchmen and also a party of the primitives, sent by the High Priest to retrieve the Goddess. With the Goddess still in Raglan's hands, they were seized by the natives and Tarzan locked in a small cell with a loosely-tethered lion, Ula in an adjacent cell under guard from a hideous jungle hag, and Martling being forced to watch his bumbling valet, George, being tortured by the natives with the assistance of a nameless expatriate white scientist who had joined forces with the primitives...—Rich Wannen <RichWannen@worldnet.att.net>
- After the peril-laden expedition in the heart of the Dead City and the impenetrable Guatemalan jungle, in The New Adventures of Tarzan (1935), Lord Greystoke, Ula Vale, Major Francis Martling, and his maladroit valet, George, make sure that the Mayan Green Goddess totem returns to civilisation. Now, knowing that the ancient relic that contains the secret formula for a powerful explosive is in the hands of Tarzan the mighty, the villainous solicitor, Hiram Powers, sends his right-hand man, the ruthless mercenary, P.B. Raglan, to do his dirty work, and retrieve the coveted idol. However, the High Priest and his loyal followers are not willing to take this situation lying down, bent on murder. Can Tarzan the fearless prevent the precious artefact, which can change the face of warfare, from falling into unscrupulous hands?—Nick Riganas
