Niels and Merkus return to the Jungle to mine diamonds. Tarzan agrees to this as long as they stay away from the gorillas. Neils and Merkus are threatened by Tublat, who they capture and plan to make money out of. Tarzan sets out to rescue Tublat, despite Terks protestions and the past conflict between them. He finds their camp desert, but Renard Dumont explains that Niels and Merkus are already on the train with a gorilla.
Tarzan reaches the train and rescues Tublat, who then attacks him. After he leaves, Niels and Merkus are left to be killed by Tublat, but Tarzan decides that letting them kidnap Tublat is no better than letting him kill Niels and Merkus, so sets off to rescue them, again, against Terks advice. At the end of the episode, Niels and Merkus are angry because they are leaving with nothing, whilst Tarzan is proud that he did the right things.
