Synopsis[]

Samuel T. Philander is at it again and wants to scoop another one of Professor Porter's jungle discoveries to pay off his British creditors.

When Tarzan and Professor Porter attempt to rescue the ape from Philander's ship, Mangani proves his healing abilities in a miracle for Tarzan.

Trivia[]

• The term Mangani is derived from the fictional species of ape that raised Tarzan in the original Tarzan novels.
  • In the original Tarzan film, the Manganis were replaced by gorillas.
• The episode takes place after "Tarzan and the Hidden World", as the events of said episode are mentioned here in this episode.
  • Just like in that previous episode, Philander attempts to steal Archimedes' discoveries and claim it as his own, even if it means capturing other animals via ill-gotten means, only to end up suffering a humiliating defeat of a bogus scientific discovery in the end.
