Penultimate Gordon Scott-era Tarzan is probably his best. He speaks slowly but much more intelligently and there is no Jane or Boy nonsense. Cheeta is still around, but not given much to do. It's a simple story involving the "bad guys", a group of 4 bickering diamond hunters, versus Tarzan and a woman companion he picks up along the way. The other unseen antagonist is the jungle itself, rife with dangers. The infighting amongst the greedy diamond hunters takes care of most of them, leading to a showdown between a wounded Tarzan and the leader of the diamond gang on a cliff. The two women characters were annoying and perhaps unnecessary, and there was an obvious rubber alligator for Tarzan to wrestle, otherwise an entertaining entry in the long-running series.
