Writer: Eddie Guzelian
Director: Nicholas Filippi
Guest star: Rene Auberjonois (Renard Dumont)
A business man, named Dumont, comes to the jungle to make a trading post. He builds the post on the rhino's territory, forcing them to move on to the ape's territory. If Tarzan can't get rid of the rhinos within three days, the gorillas will have to move. This second episode of the series introduces the recurring Dumont character. Voiced by Rene Aburjonois, Dumont is French, suave, and has more than a passing attraction for Jane.

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.

But the location is up in the mountains, of which it is below zero degrees, and a blizzard is occuring.

Now, Tarzan and the logger must find the ingedients for the cure, but the most important one was logged, and is no longer available...Perhaps the best-written episode of the series. Every line of dialogue carries clues to the climax. The logger is cast against type, being a soft-spoken likeable man, rather than a hard-nosed business tycoon.

Diahann Carroll has the perfect voice for the intense and powerful Queen La. Disney's animation is at its best with the epic scenes taking place in the deserted, but resurrected City of Opar. A possessed Tarzan has to be seen to believed. A more serious entry with plenty of action/adventure, this episode concludes the La/Opar story arc.
