00:00Ah, fresh, clean air. Magnificent, eh? Magnificent. Oh. I've never seen these before. Delightful.
00:23Better than my silver jubilee roses back home. Good heavens! Extraordinarily odiferous, fast-opening, and since I've never seen them here before, apparently quick-spreading.
00:39Only one visible cultivar. That was rather bold for a woodpecker. Where was I? Oh yes, oh yes. One cultivar. I am not a tree, you compounded bird. There, you can have my helmet. Are you quite happy now?
01:07I'm all right.
01:37We'll be home soon. As much as I enjoy traveling, it's good to get back to our jungle. The Waziri village was nice. Oh, it was wonderful. But there's no place like home.
01:56Well, here you go, Tarzan. Give this a whirl. What do I do with this? What, you don't know how to whistle, big boy? You just put your lips together and blow. Yes, and it makes a sound. Oh. I didn't hear anything.
02:13Well, of course you didn't, nature boy. You see, it's a dog whistle. Yeah, dogs have super-sensitive ears. They can hear things we humans can't.
02:20We've got a couple hundred of these beauties already made. Yeah, we figure we'll corner the local market on dog whistles. So how many can I put you down for? Ten? Twenty? Yes, well, as nicely crafted as your dog whistle is, I must point out that I've never actually seen a dog anywhere near here.
02:37Oh, looks like we've got a problem. Paucity pooches? Yeah, a real doggy drought. Canine catastrophe? Yeah, what we need is a bulldog blow-up.
02:45Ah, home sweet home. I can't wait to see Daddy.
02:49Demont certainly has been busy. I wonder what this is all about.
03:10Ah, Jane, you have returned. Did you miss me during your trips?
03:18Actually, Monsieur Demont, I didn't think of you at all.
03:21Oh, you've wound me, madame. But you'll be interested to see that my trading post is on the rise. We're installing more guest beds, a new radio tower which will allow us to order supplies from all around the world, and by week's end, hot and cold running water. All the comforts of home. You should consider moving closer.
03:42I'm as close as I'd like to get, thank you very much.
03:46Tarzan?
03:48Ah, my friend, this type of thing isn't exactly your strong suit.
03:55What is it?
03:56A puzzle. The object is to remove the ring without breaking the toy.
04:00Ah.
04:01Unfortunately, the key to solving the puzzle is brains, not brawn.
04:06And what do you mean by that?
04:08No, no, relax, Tarzan. It was merely a warning shot. The animals have been acting unusually bold this week. But surely you realize I would never allow one of my men to harm your animals.
04:26You fear me.
04:28Hmm. I would be a fool not to.
04:31You would?
04:32Indeed.
04:38What's the matter, love? Oh, I hope it wasn't that ridiculous brains-brawn comment of Dumont's. You are a keenly intelligent man.
04:46That's not what's bothering me. Listen.
04:50I don't hear anything.
04:52Exactly.
04:53No birds, no monkeys, altogether too quiet.
04:59Maybe it's nothing.
05:01What happened?
05:13Good gracious. It's like there was a riot in here.
05:18Something's going on in this jungle.
05:21Something bad.
05:23We need to find Daddy.
05:29Daddy, are you here?
05:31Professor! Professor!
05:35I can't find him. He's gone.
05:36Yes. Well, panicking won't help the situation now, will it? We'll just focus on figuring out what is going on in this jungle.
05:43First, both our treehouse and Daddy's base camp have been thrown into disarray. Why? Were they searching for something? And if so, what?
05:53We didn't see any animals in the jungle either. Where are they?
05:57Yes, yes. Well, this is turning out to be quite a puzzle.
06:01Turk! Tantor!
06:03Where have you been?
06:04Trying to get away.
06:05Get away? From what?
06:07The ringing. It won't stop.
06:10Oh, it just rings and rings and rings.
06:17Animals acting peculiarly, rambling on about the ringing.
06:23Stop!
06:30Turk, what are you doing?
06:32Turk!
06:33Go!
06:42Turk?
06:57Tarzan!
06:59Ringing!
07:25Take the bother you love, but if you don't mind, I can use a little help.
07:30It rings!
07:38I can do it. I can do it.
07:52What's wrong with them?
07:54They've gone star-craving mad.
08:02Tarzan, I'm not sure if I care for the way this bird is eyeing us.
08:10What is going on in this jungle?
08:16Help!
08:37What was that all about?
08:39I don't know, but I think we're safe for now.
08:59Yes, that would have been fun, if it wasn't so utterly terrifying.
09:03The madness obviously isn't restricted to Turk and Tantor.
09:06I think all the jungle animals have been affected.
09:09But what's causing it?
09:14These flowers. I've never seen them before.
09:17There are some flowers that only bloom once every 50 years.
09:21Could a plant make an animal go mad?
09:23Perhaps the pollen from these plants is causing some sort of allergic reaction.
09:28We should find a good specimen to study.
09:31Yes, yes. The more I think about it, the more I'm sure we found a...
09:36Jane, what's wrong?
09:41Daddy!
09:50I hope he didn't suffer too much.
09:52Don't give up yet. Maybe we can learn something from this.
09:57Yes. I suppose Daddy would have wanted it that way.
10:02I was taking a hike this morning when I came across a beautiful red flower.
10:09Unfortunately, while admiring the blossom, I had a most unusual encounter.
10:14With a great swarm of woodpeckers!
10:23The situation looked grim.
10:30Fortunately, I kept a calm head, used my formidable jungle skills, and made it home alive.
10:41Over the next few days, I had more and more alarming experiences with usually benign creatures.
10:50Why were the animals suddenly acting so curiously?
10:54The only new element in the jungle was that mysterious red flower.
10:58I knew there had to be a connection.
11:01We were right about the flowers.
11:04I began work on an antidote.
11:06But my base camp was no longer safe.
11:09So I retreated to Tarzan and Jane's treehouse.
11:12I eventually did concoct an antidote, but while I was waiting for the chemicals to finish their reactions,
11:17the animals attacked en masse.
11:20Stop it! Stop the ringing!
11:30I was forced to hide the antidote and flee.
11:34If I fail to reach help, and Tarzan, Jane, or some other poor soul finds this journal,
11:40then know that the antidote that will reverse all this madness is hidden under the per...
11:46What's a per?
11:48Not per. The letter P.
11:50And that's all you wrote?
11:52Well, at least we know there's a cure for this madness.
11:55Somewhere in the treehouse.
12:11He can stop the ringing!
12:16Ringing. Always ringing!
12:19We have to hurry.
12:21It's under something that starts with the letter P. Pots?
12:26It's not under the papers.
12:29Pillows. Nothing here either.
12:32We don't have much time.
12:36Ringing. Ringing. Ringing.
12:40We've looked under every single P in this house.
12:43Perhaps we misunderstood Daddy's meaning.
12:48Pornograph. That starts with a P.
12:53I found it!
12:54A P word, not a P sound.
12:57Those reading lessons really are paying off.
13:06I think the antidote's working.
13:10Think again.
13:11Ringing. Stop the ringing.
13:16Ringing!
13:34I think we lost the gorillas.
13:36They're not the only ones we need to worry about.
13:43Make it stop!
13:59We have to get out of the jungle.
14:01But how?
14:12Come on!
14:32Come on!
15:00Come on!
15:19Can they get in?
15:20Probably.
15:24At least we're safe for the moment.
15:35Professor.
15:36Daddy! Oh, Daddy!
15:39When I found your journal, I felt the worst.
15:42I've been in hiding for days.
15:44The animals have gone mad, you know.
15:46Yes, we know.
15:48What's going on?
15:51They're digging.
15:52You must go to the treehouse and get my antidote.
15:55It's under the...
15:56Pornograph. We did, Daddy. It didn't work.
15:59Impossible!
16:00I was certain my antidote would counteract the flowers' pollen.
16:04Maybe. It's not the flowers at all.
16:06What else could it be?
16:07I mean, nothing has changed in the jungle. Nothing at all.
16:11There is one thing.
16:14The tower.
16:18The tower?
16:22Whatever you're doing, Tarzan, do it quickly.
16:37Stop the raining!
17:06What in blazes is going on?
17:16Ready your guns?
17:30Tarzan, you're as mad as the animals.
17:33Maybe.
17:49What are you doing? Get off my tower!
18:16What in blazes?
18:26Do not blaze!
18:39I got a question. How did I get here?
18:52Mrs. Tarzan? Professor?
18:55Tantor? Are you all right?
18:59I think so.
19:01The last thing I remember was a really awful ringing in my ears.
19:05I thought I was going to go nuts.
19:08What?
19:16The most horrible part of this whole experience is the knowing.
19:20The knowing?
19:21The knowing.
19:23Knowing that lurking deep inside of me is a monster.
19:27A vicious monster who, at any moment, without warning, could reemerge to savage the world once again.
19:35I fear carefree and innocent Tantor is lost to us forever.
19:39Oh, brother.
19:40You have it too, Turk. Aren't you worried about carefree and innocent Turk?
19:44Leave me alone!
19:45You can run from your problems, Turk, but you can't run from yourself.
19:49I can run from you!
19:52My tower was causing the animals to go mad?
19:55Yes. Humans couldn't hear it, but the animals could.
20:00I didn't realize you were such a detective, Tarzan.
20:03Well, there's much about me you don't know.
20:12What are you smiling about?
20:14Oh, nothing.
