DEATH IN THE MOUNTAINS ~ 1931.11.22 The camel train, with Captain D'Arnot and Lieutenant Carnot as prisoners arrives near the mountain chief's dread retreat. Forced to walk up the steep mountain passes, Lieutenant Carnot, weak from his wounds, staggers and falls.

"Arise, slave!" the chief commands.

"I am not a slave! I am a French officer! I will never be a slave!" says the boy proudly.

"You can choose slavery or death," says the chief.

"I choose death!" the boy replies quickly.

Meanwhile Tarzan races across the desert, urged on always to greater speed by Ahema, the dancing girl, who has confessed that, at sight, she has fallen in love with the young lieutenant.

Carnot, blindfolded and bound is placed in front of a firing squad.

Leaving the camel, Tarzan, followed by Ahema, dashes up the steep mountain pass.

"Ready! Aim! the chief commands. . .

At that moment Tarzan arrives with the slave girl. Ahema rushes to the young Frenchman and throws her arms about him.

"Fire!" the mountain chief commands.

Tarzan rushes to the little dancing girl and picks her up tenderly. . .  She lies lifeless in his arms!
