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. 10: Secret Signals

Before the chain has broken, Ula has been able to widen the hole in the wall, reach through and cut Tarzan’s bonds with the hag’s knife. Tarzan kills the lion in a furious fight, then further widens the hole so that Ula can join him in his cell. There, Tarzan let’s out a yell and, when two hooded guards enter to investigate, he overpowers these natives and takes their cloaks and hoods as disguises for Ula and himself. Thus disguised, Tarzan and Ula reach the torture chamber as George is being tortured with hot pokers pressed to the soles of his feet. Tarzan is able to surreptitiously untie Martling, and together they overcome the torturers. The nameless white man, horrified by the treatment of George, turns on the High Priest, and Tarzan knocks over a flaming urn, causing an explosion which brings the torture room down. Tarzan, Ula, Martling and George escape the Lost City and, well down the river, meet Lopez, whom Ula knows and who is the mysterious man who overheard Raglan’s conversation with Pedro. They all return to Mantique, where Raglan spies Ula at a hotel and learns the others are in the city also. He flees to the docks to get the concealed Goddess and proceed to Blade’s ship, pursued by Ula and Martling in a rickety flivver driven by George. Tarzan reaches the docks first, however, and overcomes several Raglan henchmen; but Raglan pulls a pistol and shoots the ape-man at point blank range!

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.
