A mysterious, jewel-covered statue called “The Green Goddess” is as dangerous as it is valuable. It contains an ancient formula for a powerful super-explosive that, in unscrupulous hands, could destroy the world.

The New Adventures of Tarzan

Ep. 5: Unseen Hands

Tarzan is knocked out by the fall, allowing Raglan and his men to escape again with the Goddess. Martling and George find the reviving Tarzan and learn he has recovered the codebook during the fight. In the hotel room, they also find the wire from Powers and set out for Quirigua, along with Ula who knows the way there. In the jungles, Tarzan leaves his three comrades on the trail and sets off through the trees. Raglan leaves his men in an encampment and proceeds alone to Quirigua to hide the Goddess. Tarzan’s pursuit is delayed when he stops to help and injured deer and is subsequently attacked by a lioness, which he defeats. Martling, George and Ula reach Quirigua, where Raglan has hidden the goddess and is able to slip away undetected while they tour the ruins. Tarzan finds the encampment of Raglan’s men, and there is a furious battle. Several bearers restrain Tarzan while one of their number plunges a machete straight at Tarzan’s heart!

In the African jungles, Tarzan kills a lion and saves the life of a demented Frenchman, who tells him that D’Arnot, Tarzan’s best friend is lost in the wilds of Guatemala.

Rushing to D’Arnot’s aid aboard the S.S. Wangai, Tarzan accidentally meets MAJOR MARLING, an archaelogolist leading an expedition to the Guatemalan jungles in the hope of locating the famous GREEN GODDESS – a priceless Mayan relic containing a fortune in gems. He casually becomes a part of a group including ALICE MARTLING, Martling’s daughter, GORDON HAMILTON, her fiance, and GEORGE, an admirer of the Ape-Man, who has stowed aboard with Nkima, Tarzan’s pet chimpanzee. ULA VALE, a mysterious woman, and RAGLAN, a racally explorer, trailing Martling to get posession of the document, dircting the expedition to the Goddess, are also passengers.

Learning that Martling has mailed the document to someone in Guatemala, the adventurers attack him in order to learn its whereabouts, but flee empty-handed when Tarzan comes to the rescue.

In Guatemala City, while Martling and Tarzan prepare for their expedition, Raglan gains possession of the document, escapes with it and starts for the jungle. They pursue him. However, Raglan, arriving at the point designated in the document, unearths the entrance to the secret underground passage leading to the lost City and the Green Goddess.

Tarzan’s party arrive and enter the Lost City, only to be seized by monster servers of QUEEN MAYA, in whose court they find D’Arnot a prisoner and behold the GREEN GODDESS. Maya declares all must die save Tarzan, who may remain as her consort. Tarzan, refusing, is strapped to the altar and Maya plunges her dagger toward his heart.
