Kururi tries to scare Boy off with tales of the ghost of Makuru, who haunts the village at night in the form of a lion. But Boy does not scare so easily. The witch doctor attracts a lion with some goat's blood, but Tarzan's tame lion Jad-Bal-Ja chases the wild lion off. Tarzan and his son free Dombie.
