But Tarzan's cunning enemies vow his destruction, and the fabulous metropolis in the Forbidden Valley holds its own horrors of medieval mortal combat.... 0.047 seconds to build listing

"And so it was that Tarzan of the Apes, clad in chain mail, and armed with lance and sword, rode down into the Valley of the Sepulcher just as Bohun put his foul scheme into execution and carried off the Princess Cuinalda."
