In "The Jewels of Opar," Tarzan ventures into the lost city of Opar, where a hunter trails him into hidden vaults brimming with ancient treasure.

In "Fight for the Treasure: Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar Part 3," Tarzan fights to reclaim his shattered memories as chaos erupts on the Greystoke plantation—Achmet Zek, a band of Abyssinian soldiers, the sinister Werper, and even his loyal Waziri friends clash in a fierce scramble for the lost jewels of Opar. The jungle’s secrets run deep, and with his past slipping away, Tarzan must find his way through the storm before the treasure claims him.

In "The Guilt of Belazi," a young Waziri faces a moral crossroads when he steals diamonds to pay the bride-price for the woman he loves, only to find himself hunted by a corrupt mine official. With Tarzan’s help, he must navigate the treacherous jungle and his own conscience to return the gems to the mine owner before the price of his love becomes too high.
