Episode Summary

When the Professor is kidnapped by a couple of leopard men, then taken to the lost city of Opar, Tarzan goes after them. When the Professor arrives, he realizes that Queen La, queen of Opar, needs a king, and she sent her leopard men out to find her one. The Professor is rejected, and when she meets Tarzan, who's come to rescue him, Queen La falls in love with Tarzan, but with him insisting that he only loves Jane, she decides to dispose of her. The first entry in the La/Opar Trilogy and one of the best episodes of the series. The basic plot is loosely based on the second Tarzan novel, The Return Of Tarzan. La is a memorable villian, and the episode is left open for it's sequel, Tarzan And The Leopard Men Rebellion. The two thousand year old city of Opar is beautifully illustrated. Edgar Rice Burroughs would be pleased.

In the original Edgar Rice Burroughs books about Tarzan, Queen La wore no clothing of any sort. But this being a show for children, they had to cloth her as little as the censors would allow.
