A good adventure in which Tarzan returns to Opar to replenish his gold reserves, and discovers the fabulous Jewels of Opar. Along the way he suffers a head injury which reverts him to the mental status of the beast he used to be. All is well at the end, of course. In the forgotten city of Opar, the bloodied sacrificial altar of the Flaming God stood above vaults piled high with the gold destined for fabled, lost Atlantis. There La, the beautiful high priestess, still dreamed of Tarzan, who had escaped her knife before. Around her, the hideous priests vowed that he should never escape again. For now Tarzan was returning, and they were waiting for him. Tarzan planned to avoid La and the priests. But he could not avoid the earthquake that struck him down in the vaults and left him without memory of his wife or home - only with what memory he had had as a child among the savage apes who reared him. 0.021 seconds to build listing

This gives the gorgeous seductress and loopy priestess La a chance to try and get her hands on the muscular King of the Jungle, until he remembers the whole Jane thing.
A pretty good Tarzan adventure.
Dodgy Belgies, too.
