Brokenhearted and mad with rage, he heads to the battlefront to seek his revenge wreaking havoc on the Imperial German Army. With a ferocious lion at his command, Tarzan’s vengeance is soon complete. But even as he swears off civilization and returns to the Mangani apes of his youth, he finds himself embroiled in the fate of a mysterious woman taken prisoner by a band of deserters.

With no memory of his former life—or the worth of the “pretty pebbles” he has collected—Tarzan joins with Werper in escaping from La. Meanwhile, Werper’s partner kidnaps Jane. Even as she executes her own daring escape, her life will be in danger unless Tarzan recovers his true identity.
