Tarzan of the Apes had heard only rumors of the Kavuru-a strange, evil tribe said to have long reaped their human prey from among the local natives. But when they stole the daughter of Muviro, chief of the Waziri, the Lord of the Jungle sets out in search of their legend-shrouded village on a mission of rescue-or, if need be, revenge. He does not know that his trail runs close to that of a strange group of survivors of a crashed plane-including his beloved mate, Jane, who must call upon all the skills she has learned from Tarzan to keep herself and her companions alive amid the terrors of the jungle and an even worse danger lurking in their own party. But the stranded Europeans and the ape-man are destined for a rendezvous with blood and fire-in the dreaded temple of the Kavuru.
