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. 7: Flaming Waters

Martling leaves the side of the ailing Raglan, who has come out of his delirium and, realizing his position, staggers off, returing to Quirigua, where he retrieves the Goddess and heads off into the jungles. Learning of this, Tarzan, Martling and George give chase while Ula steps behind a blanket draped across a vine and changes into a native-girl outfit, as N’Kima watches her from the trees.
Meanwhile, back at the Lost City, the High Priest stirs the natives to action in retrieving the Goddess, and a platoon of black-robed and hooded, machete-wielding primitives set off into the jungles to rescue their idol. They soon encounter Tarzan, but he escapes them after a furious fight and goes to warn Martling and George of the new menace. They, in turn, go to find Ula, who has broken camp and set out along the riverbank in her native garb. George asks for a brief rest as they follow Ula, and is attacked by a herd of snapping turtles while he sits on a log. The exasperated Martling pulls out his handkerchief, and the codebook falls from his pocket. George tries to grab it but only succeeds in knocking it into the river. Tarzan dives in after it, retrieves the notebook, but is caught in the rapids and swept over a fall as Ula watches in horror from below.

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.
