Although he narrowly misses death at the hands of one of their members, and although Jane (Miss O’Sullivan) and their adopted son, “Boy” (Johnny Sheffield) are abducted, Tarzan, with the aid of his faithful ape, Cheeta, and an army ot elephants, finally routs his enemies asd is able to his family to their jungle Pafljlise. A HEAVY DOWNPOUR During Wednesday night there was a heavy downpour of rain and the creeks and streams were running bank high on Thursday morning.
