Tarzan is trapped in deep quicksand and struggles to free himself after a long fight against death. Freed at last, he climbs a tree, cuts a creeping vine, and uses it to pull Tracy from the sand as apes close in on the scene. Aboard a steamer, the crew and passengers face a sinking vessel: the hull is flooding, a bolt is being loosened, and one man holds a gun on the others. The episode is part of the Tarzan radio series, and its original air date was September 22, 1932.

With Tarzan, Tracy, Clayton, Snipes, John, Professor Finger, Miss Porter, Mr. Philander.

Listen for: Tarzan's struggle in the quicksand and the sounds of the apes calling from the trees, followed by the hammering and rising water aboard the steamer.

Tarzan of the Apes is a 1932 episode in the Tarzan series. Passengers in a small boat fight off attackers from a ship, struggling to keep their craft afloat and to decide who will navigate. Elsewhere, Tarzan rescues Tracey from quicksand and faces a band of apes that threatens them both on the beach. After Tarzan defeats the leading ape, he climbs back into the jungle and returns to his hut, where he finds familiar belongings and reflects on what makes him different from the apes. Voices nearby suggest visitors are approaching his home, and Tarzan leaves a written message on his door before stepping outside.

With Tarzan, Tracey, Snipes, Jane, Clayton, Philander, Professor Archimedes, Glenna.

Tarzan, the jungle man, watches from the high branches as a group of strangers lands on the African coast and comes ashore. Among them is Jane Porter, whose voice and manner set her apart in his eyes, and he feels a curiosity about her that overrides his instinct to drive the intruders away. The party, led by Professor Porter, meets Clayton and Cecil, and they debate where to shelter for the night, sharing a meal of canned beans, sausage and biscuits. They find an empty hut bearing a warning signed by Tarzan, and they decide to take possession of it. As dusk falls, Tarzan creeps closer to the lantern-lit hut, drawn by his interest in Jane.

With Tarzan, Jane Porter, Professor Porter, Clayton, Cecil.

Listen for: Tarzan's reaction to Jane's voice, and the warning notice on the hut door signed by Tarzan.
