They may be in trouble, too.

Where you take girl?

Who are you?

This is the man who rescued us

from the plane.

Uh.

You're Tarzan, aren't you?

Yes.

I was afraid the savages'd killed you.

Oh, this is Mr. Hawkins.

I hear your name many times in jungle.

I don't doubt it. I've made

a lot of trips through this territory

over a period of years.

How you get girl away from Opar men?

With that.

Where your native boys?

They quit me. They were afraid to go back

through Opar country.

Why you not afraid to go alone?

Those savages don't bother me

just as long as I have this with me.

Please take me to my friends.

They're back there with no protection.

You know waterfall by bending river?

Yes, not far from here.

Her friends wait for her there.

You take girl to them and keep safe.

-- Aren't you coming with us?

-- No, I come later.

First I go to sky bird and get things

you and friends need to make camp.

You go now.

Come on.

Cheta!

Leave bottle, Cheta. Not good.

Come, Cheta. Leave bottle!

Go, Cheta!

Drop it! Dumba, drop it!

Come on, Dumba. Drop it.

You stay. Not follow. Stay!

I wish Tarzan would get back

with our belongings.

Diana! Quit wandering around

and get back here by the fire!

Are you sure that Tarzan guy

is coming back?

Your guess is as good as mine.

I'd heard of him, but never saw him

before today.

Will you two sit down and stay put?

I told Nairobi we were in trouble,

but we crashed before they acknowledged

my signal.

And if they'd received it, then

they started looking for us at once.

That way we could expect

the search plane by morning.

I don't want to discourage you,

but you're likely to be here

a lot longer than that.

You were a way off the usual air routes.

What do you suggest then?

There's only one thing to do. I'm heading

for the coast, come along with me.

We leave before dawn.

Do you think you can get us there?

Sure. 3 days, maybe 4.

What's that?

Opar drums.

What are they doing, a war dance?

That's the way they communicate

from one village to another.

You know what they're saying?

No white man can tell you that.

Maybe we're getting

some advance publicity.

You can call it that if you like,

but whatever those savages are saying,

you can be sure it's about us.

And sooner or later

they'll close in on us.

In that case we're better off

staying right here and wait

for that search plane to spot us.

Other people have crashed in Africa

before and been found.

Lots of them, in heaven.

Hawkins knows the country, Dick.

I think we ought to do what he says.

I don't agree. If there is

a search plane out, we gotta give it

the chance to spot us.

Oh, well, if it'll make you feel better,

we'll wait here until 8 o'clock

tomorrow morning.

If the plane hasn't shown up by then,

you start up with me.

Good safaries stay close together in camp.

You like to scare us to death.

You might have stopped the bullet

bursting in like that.

When Opar drums talk at night, bad sign.

Did you see any more of those savages?

No, but Opar men always try

to take whites for sacrifice.

That's what I've been trying to tell them.

We've gotta get away from here.

Better take blankets and rest.

Is that all you brought? Where's my mink?

The lighter we travel, the better,

if we're making it for the coast.

You take safari to coast?

Well, yes. Unless a plane spots them,

how else will they get there?

You go through gorge by Eagle Mountain?

-- It's the only way.

-- What's wrong with that?

-- Too near Opar village.

-- Oh, I've made the trip several times.

They're on safe hands with me.

No one is safe in Opar country.

I don't know why are you trying

to scare everybody.

I can get them throught, all right.

I wonder.

What do you mean?

Hawkins too sure.

You know, Carl, it's quite remarkable.

What is?

It's the first morning for years

I didn't have a hangover.

Oh, really? This is the first time

I'm having a shave in river water.

Those fishes smell good.

Hey, Doodles. You're falling apart!

Go on, hang yourself!

Hang on, same for you!

I don't think that monkey is a bit funny.

Who's laughing at the monkey?

Hey, that looks good!

Nobody but Tarzan can catch fish

with his bare hands.

He doesn't tell you about the ones

that got away.

-- I'll see if he's caught any more.

-- Okay.

Put some more wood in the fire, will ya?

Oh, sure.

No, not like that!

Tarzan says it's better this way.

Oh, pardon me.

Hey, Diana, come here!

Watch the fish, will ya?

The latest in building showers.

Quite a waterfall.

Yeah. I like the way it sets ripples.

I wouldn't mind to shower myself.

That'd be one less monkey around here.

This is not very encouraging

if they even didn't get your signal.

I hope you're wrong.

Did you see the way he caught that fish?

Yeah. I bet he does everything well.

Water warm?

No. If water warm, fish no good.

-- Nothing like seeing for yourself.

-- You're not going in that river?

Why not?

-- You swim, too?

-- No, but I could be taught.

Tarzan?

Maybe you'd better come along.

That's what I get for learning to cook...

Oh, it's wonderful!

Girl swim good.

Thanks. You're not so bad yourself.

Why so much drum talk?

What were they saying?

King Ogonoore call all people

come to Opar.

Your drums frighten white.

You bring whites to Opar. Now!

I'll bring as far as Eagle Mountain.

Have warriors ready there

to take whites, not before!

Tell king Ogonoore, Hawkins come.

Tell him, I'll bring Tarzan, too.

That makes 6 whites.

Nogomo knows:
keep white girl for Hawkins.

You do as I say:
no follow.

Go back to Opar.

-- Where's Tarzan?

-- Oh, taking a swim.

You're kind of jealous, aren't you?

What do you mean?

Tarzan's a pretty good looking fellow.

Oh, that sort of things never bothers me.

What are we waiting for?

Why don't we eat this silly fish?

Diana!

Breakfast is ready!

You mates, huh?

Mates? Oh, you mean, Dick's my husband.

-- Yes, I suppose, you'd call...

-- Come on, Diana!

All right, we'll be there!

When mate call, you go quick!

Quick?! Not where I'm from, Tarzan.

Way of jungle better.

Cheta hungry.

Maybe you better go. Quick.

Tarzan!

Don't be a fool! You might kill Tarzan!

Why do you continue to do

such stupid things?

First you wander off by yourself,

and savages get you, then you have to

go and jump in the river.

How'd I know there were

crocodiles in there?

Oh, it wasn't her fault.

Tarzan shouldn't let her go in there

in the first place.

She's old enough to know better.

That was beautiful!

You must be in wonderful condition.

Is that how you're keeping shape?

Wrestling most things before breakfast?

Not often find crocodiles in cold water.

What do you think this is, a picnic?

The sooner you people realize,

we're in the wilds of Africa

surrounded by hostile savages,

the better chance we'll have

of getting out of here alive.

I told you last night:

it's useless waiting for any plane.

What time is it, Gamage?

8 o'clock.

If they picked up our signal,

Montgomery Pittman

Montgomery Pittman (March 1, 1917 – June 26, 1962) was a television writer, director, and actor. Among his notable credits are his work writing and directing various episodes of The Twilight Zone, Maverick and 77 Sunset Strip. According to his own account, Pittman was born in Louisiana in 1917 and reared in Arkansas. No independent verification of this seems to exist, and Pittman's actual birth name and birth date may differ from his claim. Again, according to his own account, Pittman left home and joined a carnival as a snake oil salesman. He eventually made his way to New York City, hoping for at least a small Broadway role. There he met actor Steve Cochran, who hired him as caretaker of his Los Angeles home around 1950.In Los Angeles he tried to break into acting, getting small, mostly uncredited film and TV roles through 1951 and '52. Around this time, Cochran introduced Pittman to Maurita Gilbert Jackson, the widowed mother of three child actors: Curtis, Jr., Gary, and Sherry Jackson. A romance developed, and in 1952 Pittman married Maurita Jackson in a small ceremony on June 4 in Torrance, California, with Sherry serving as flower girl and younger brother Gary as ring-bearer; Cochran himself was Pittman's best man. Approximately a year later, stepdaughter Sherry would land the role of Terry Williams on the sitcom Make Room For Daddy, which would last for five years and give her a measure of stardom. By 1954, Pittman had turned from acting to screenwriting, sometimes writing material in which he could play small guest roles. He began with anthology shows such as Four Star Playhouse and Schlitz Playhouse, and at that time was billed as Monte Pittman. In 1955 Cochran hired Pittman to write his next film, Come Next Spring, the first that Cochran produced himself. Sherry played the part of Cochran's mute daughter Annie Ballot, a role Pittman wrote specifically for his step-daughter.By this point, Pittman's writing career moved into higher gear, as he started working as a writer for ABC/Warner Brothers TV shows such as 77 Sunset Strip, Sugarfoot, Maverick, Cheyenne, Surfside 6, and Colt .45. He also wrote for NBC's The Deputy, and CBS's The Twilight Zone. By 1958 (and now consistently billed as Montgomery Pittman) he had also branched into directing for television, in addition to continuing his work as a writer and actor. Pittman often directed his own scripts, as well as scripts by other writers. Pittman frequently cast his stepdaughter Sherry Jackson in television episodes he wrote and/or directed. Jackson appeared in episodes of 77 Sunset Strip, The Rifleman, Surfside 6 and The Twilight Zone that were both written and directed by Pittman, as well as episodes of Maverick and Riverboat that Pittman wrote but did not direct. Montgomery and Maurita's son, Robert John Pittman, was born in 1956. Robert John also had a brief career as a child actor, debuting on a Montgomery Pittman-directed episode of 77 Sunset Strip in 1960 before settling into a recurring role on Dennis The Menace as Dennis' friend Seymour Williams. Although he continued his occasional acting career, Pittman himself never appeared as an actor in a TV episode he directed. Regarding Pittman's sudden illness and death, Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., lead star of 77 Sunset Strip recalled that his friend Pittman became ill at forty-five with "a tumor on the side of his neck that grew rapidly to grapefruit-size. He had it excised, but it left a gaping hole, which he covered with a kerchief". The tumor was treated as cancer but did not go into remission, and Pittman soon died. Zimbalist delivered a eulogy at Pittman's funeral. Will Hutchins, another friend of Pittman's whom he attributed to having saved the Sugarfoot series for its two final seasons, was asked to be a pallbearer but declined because as a teenager Hutchins had dropped the casket of a relative and feared he might do so again.Pittman is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in the Hollywood Hills. more…
