The merchant who purchased Jane mounts a camel and takes off with her, with Tarzan in hot pursuit.
Werper tries to sneak away, but his men catch him demanding their share of the jewels. They open the bag and discover it's filled with gravel. Score one for Jane. All but one of Werper's men leave him in disgust.
Meanwhile, Tarzan catches the merchant and kills him after a brief fight. Our hero is still suffering from amnesia and thinks Jane stole the jewels. Jane is trying to explain herself when a gunshot rings out. Werper and his henchman have caught up to them. The couple escape into a nearby cave.
Tarzan moves a rock in front of the entrance and Jane gets to work helping Tarzan recover his memory. He seems close for a moment, but then it fades.
However, the peril for our heroes isn't going anywhere. The muzzle of a gun slides into view by the entrance to the cave. And is that a pair of glowing eyes in the darkness?
Oh Tarzan the Tiger, why must you tease me?
It really felt like we were about to put the amnesia plot behind us. It's so cliche I just hate it.
We do get some bad guys making some smart decisions. They see Werper, realize he's a fool, and seek greener pastures. And Werper actually figures out that if he tries to shoot Tarzan from a distance, he won't be immediately thrown out a window.
It feels like we are repeating a lot of the same beats. Hopefully the next episode will get us moving again.
