 Tarzan and the Diamond of Arshere. Tarzan and Darno have followed Tom and Wolf to the audience chamber of the temple of Ma'at-Chu. From the shadow of a great pillar they watch, as Wolf pries at the golden disc covering the father of diamonds. Abruptly the lid opens, the vast room is filled with a glaring white light which renders the four men powerless to move or speak. Because of this unhuman power, Tarzan is unable to save Wolf from death at the hands of one of the guardian apes. The spell is broken when the German's body falls upon and covers the diamond, and Tarzan kills the monster in defense of Darno. Tom, in trying to find his way back to their quarters, enters the apartment in Tirah by mistake and agrees to act as her spy against his companions. Tarzan and Darno, giving up the search for Tom, return to their quarters when they find Magra gone. Thank heaven you've been back Tarzan. They took Magra, she been gone. They? Who? A bunch of those, uh, those hessie harrings, a workup, the room was full of them. Some of them held me, the others took Magra. Tom and Wolf been gone too. But could you not have used your gun? They took it away, well, they was asleep. They took all the rifles, everything. They bought a couple of their good-looking faces, but they was too mental. Where did they take her? They don't know. They didn't understand their lingo. How long ago was this? Half an hour, maybe longer. They don't know what we're going to do about it. Pinder, of course. Now that we know how to open these doors, we can get out and search. Come on. Ah, Mon Mon Tarzan, what could we accomplish by running out there through those many corridors? Even if we found our way out into the open, where would we start to search? You're right, of course. We've got to get hold of Hakeru. Exactly Mon, but we must wait for him to come to us. Remember? He said he would return. Tell your tenant, Ben, right Tarzan. They don't like it any more than you. But we would be caught and locked up in the yiffy. A OC, Mon Ami, if Hakeru refuses to tell us where Magre is, we will force him to lead us to her. Yeah, sure. That came the idea. But they wonder why they took Tom and Wolf and not me. Wolf is dead, Larson. What? That tough Dutchman? How do you know? He was killed before our eyes. And this time Tarzan could not help him. Wolf? Dead? How, Lieutenant? He and Tom tried to get the diamond. One of the guardian apes got Wolf. And Tom? He got away. Where we do not know. Wolf been right then. He knew it was coming. He saw the face. What's that? Wolf knew what was. Saw what face? When we was brought to this place, you remember, Wolf was looking at something just before we came into the temple? Magre said he looked like he was in a trance. Yes. Well? He told me he saw the skeleton head swinging toward him when it was opened. He knew that fiery thing bane of warning for him. The death mask, huh? Well, why didn't he tell us? Magre, he didn't want to scare her. The door. Tarzan, the door. It is opening. Yes. I... It's Tom, under God. It's Tom, under God. Where is Tarzan? And you, Dono? I've been searching for you. After that terrible ape killed poor Wolf, I... You, uh, disappeared very suddenly. We know that, Tom. Dono and I tried to find you. How did you get back here, under God? Well, I was searching for you. I ran into those two gods. They brought me here. But... I do not see Magre. Where is she? We'd like to know that ourselves. As the Saharians took her while we were in the council chamber. Watching you and Wolf try to steal the diamond. But where did they come from? We do not know. Hope to find out when Akira will return. If they harm that girl, I shall... Yes, Tom. You fought. You are right. What can I do? But we must find her. Bring her back. You should have thought of that when you went out and took Wolf to his death. And a horrible death it was. Yes. Had we not gone after that accursed diamond... Exactement, Monsieur Tom. But... tell us. You can't open these doors, eh? How is that? The door? Akira was considered enough to show me. Akira? Oh, he did not know he was doing so. I observed where he stood and what he did. He placed his hand on a certain stone and the doors opened. Does that answer your question? We... I am satisfied. You thought we were asleep. I wasn't. I watched you. And I'm very glad that you did. Had you been asleep, I would very likely be with poor Wolf at this moment. Meanwhile, through vast, dim corridors and up many flights of stone steps, worn black and smooth by the tread of countless numbers of sandaled, slim feet, Magra and her shadowy Hesseharyan guard have proceeded to a corridor high in the temple. Before a small copper door, they pause. The leader of the escort drops his hand upon a wall stone. The door swings slowly open. Before her, Magra beholds a room barbarically beautiful in furnishings. The Hesseharyan steps aside, motions for the young woman to enter. Behind her, the door closes with a soft metallic clang. Magra! Oh, thank heaven! Magra! Hey, Lynn! Oh, hey, Lynn! We were led to believe that you were not here. I'm so glad to see you, Magra. Oh, tell me, is Paul... There, there's my dear. Don't cry. We are all here. Lieutenant Darno, Wolf, Larsen and Atantum. Oh, I knew Paul would come and Tarzan. But where are they? How is it that you are here? We are captives for at least little months to the same thing. We were brought here by a man named Hakeru, a Hesseharyan. Oh, yes, yes, I know Hakeru. Go on. Tarzan looked for you for days when you vanished from your tent that night. We kept on going and found an ancient causeway. Oh, yes, I know. I scratched my name on the wall. We found it? Then we followed a road through the rocky country. No, I came over the same road. Oh, it seems to have been a long time ago. You must have been in Asia before we entered the two in Bakharidon. Else Tarzan would have found you. You see, he did find a piece of your laking on a lake. I left it there hoping someone would find it. Well, Tarzan did. Then we were captured by the Hesseharyans and brought here. But why are you here? Here in this room? I do not know. The king Souten, I think his name is, had us placed in a chamber. Yes, and then what happened? We went to sleep. When I woke up, they were guards in the room. Tarzan? They are no tome and wolf are gone. The Hesseharyans overpowered Larson and brought me here. But the others? What happened to them? I do not know. Probably taken somewhere else, separated from each other. I do not know, Helen. But you, my dear, what has happened to you? Well, when I went to our tent that night... I followed you almost immediately, but you were gone. I stepped into the tent and something black and soft fell over my face. I guess I fainted. Anyway, when I came to, we were in that causeway. We spent the night there where you found my name on the wall. They did not... Oh, no, they did not touch me after they put me in the litter. But how their faces... They frightened me half to death. Those awful mouths. And then? Well, they brought me here. King Souten had me placed in this room, in these clothes. I have not been treated badly, but I am afraid. Terribly afraid. Afraid, Helen? Of what? Of Tyra, the king. And the king, Souten. Particularly the king. And your brother, Brian. Have you seen him? No. No, I do not know whether or not he is here. They evade the question, always. But if he is not here... Oh, wait. They evade the question with you as they did with us, when we asked about you. He must be here, Helen. No, Margaret, I don't know. I don't know. At least you and I are together. And we know that the others will move heaven and earth to get out and find us. We must hope for that. I do not think these people mean us, you and I, any harm. Margaret, I am not so sure of that. What do you mean? Oh, I don't know. I feel some impending evil hanging over me. I know that very often I am being watched when I think I am alone here. Shh, be quiet. The door is opening. It's Souten. And Alquiro. I, Souten, of the Hesse hair, greet ye young women. Are thou, Helen Gregory, not pleased at having thy companion with thee? Yes, I am very happy. And thou, Margaret? Of course, I'll tell Souten. But our friends, are we not to see them soon again? Yes. And very soon. Is it not so, my Alquiro? But come ye young women with us. I, Souten of the Hesse hair, have something to show ye, which may have will please ye. Alquiro, open thou the doors, and lead the way. For are you taking her, Souten? To a place ye will be interested in seeing, and the occupant, one of thy friends. Oh, who is it? Faldano Tarzan, a tantum? Ye shall see. Here is the chamber. Open, Alquiro. Enter, Helen Gregory, and thou, Margaret. Oh, thank God, I found you. Brian, don't you know me? Oh, Margaret, Margaret, why doesn't she speak? Is it in that chair? Staring?
