brother, and kidnaps Tarzan's friend Themba. Rockoff joins forces with
Tarzan to avenge his brother's death as they travel to Pellucidar. They
are captured by the neanderthal-like Sagoths, and taken to the Mahar palace,
a vast cave lined with caged human prisoners who are kept as food for the
Mahars. Tarzan frees the prisoners and confronts the hideous Mahar
queen. Tarzan, Themba, and Rockoff escape to the Iron Mole and begin
to tunnel their journey homeward but the Queen recovers and races to meet
