Meanwhile, Jane and the Professor attempt to teach Terk to be more lady-like.

Doctor Robin Doyle had come to Africa to study Keewazi's tribe with the Professor.

The professor, who feels he's too old for Robin, secretly sets forth to find this fountain.
11Tarzan and the Hidden WorldWhen the Professor's rival, Samuel T. Philander, visits Africa, he must come up with something spectacular to become famous on before Philander.

12Tarzan and the RiftPoachers arrive in the jungle and are setting traps everywhere, so Tarzan warns everyone to be careful. Meanwhile, Terk encourages Tantor to act on his attractions to a female elephant named Dania with a talent for singing. The first date goes well, and though everybody finds Dania perfectly charming, she herself gets off on the wrong foot with Terk. When Terk discovers Tantor would rather spend his time with Dania than her, she plans to break them up, but ends up getting caught in one of the poachers' traps instead. Now Tantor must decide which is more important to him—his relationship with the difficult Dania, or saving his best friend from being kidnapped.
13Tarzan and the Giant BeetlesWhen Terk and Tantor accidentally spill some of the fluid from the giant flowers the Professor was studying onto a few beetles, it makes them giant themselves. To stay out of trouble, they keep it a secret. But how can you keep a couple of huge beetles a secret?

15Tarzan and the ProtegeDoctor Robin Doyle returns to the jungle with her nephew Ian, a bookish child with few friends who spends his time collecting butterflies. While Robin and the Professor spend some quality time "spooning", the task of entertaining Ian falls to Tarzan, whom Ian sees as a much-needed role model. Lacking any other experience, Tarzan fills the day with activities he enjoyed as a child, and it's not long before the boy has discarded his formal trappings for a loincloth. None of this sits quite well with Jane, who worries about the dangers of a small child swinging recklessly from tree to tree—and what the good doctor will say when she finds out.
16Tarzan and the Leopard Men RebellionThe leopard men attack the treehouse and, rather than retrieving Tarzan (as the gang expects), make off with Jane, and gas the others.

However, he is unaware of the true intentions of La and the leopard men.

18Tarzan and the Seeds of DestructionDisgusted by the decay near the elephant territory, Jane tries to use an English vine to cover up the scent.
