She and Korak dare great dangers to find each other. When they are threatened by a wild elephant Tarzan rescues them, learning at last that her mysterious Korak is his own long-sought son.

Synopsis

Queen Elena flees to Aba-Zulu, bearing news of a coup in her country, to be followed by an intended attack on Aba-Zulu. The forewarned Dan-El and Natongo break the enemy army in fierce fighting and turn the traitor over to his half-brother, the wounded King Molithi. Molithi exiles Isilo, rather than ordering his death. Dan-El muses that Molithi's abstention from revenge is a greater act than the battle that saved two kingdoms.
