    In the chap­ter “A Night of Ter­ror” from Tarzan and the Jew­els of Opar, Jane Clay­ton endures a har­row­ing ordeal. After spend­ing a rest­less night perched in a tree, at dawn, she mis­takes Abdul Mourak, the Abyssin­ian leader, for her ally, soon real­iz­ing her grave error as he and his troops cap­ture her. Despite her pleas for mer­cy, Abdul Mourak cold­ly informs her that he plans to present her to his emper­or, dash­ing any hope of free­dom or jus­tice.

    The nar­ra­tive then shifts to Abdul Mourak’s camp, where the group, lost and far from their intend­ed path, makes a night encamp­ment in the water­less, hun­gry jun­gle. Their pres­ence attracts lions, whose ter­ri­fy­ing roars and sub­se­quent attack cre­ate chaos. In the tur­moil, Jane nar­row­ly escapes death mul­ti­ple times, wit­ness­ing the hor­ror as lions maul men and hors­es alike. The scene is one of pri­mal fear, as the camp becomes a bat­tle­ground for sur­vival against the fierce preda­tors.

    Simul­ta­ne­ous­ly, Tarzan and Wer­p­er, cap­tured and bound in anoth­er loca­tion, expe­ri­ence their own night of ter­ror. Tarzan man­ages to free him­self with his immense strength and sum­mons a group of apes for res­cue. How­ev­er, the apes’ entry into the camp ter­ri­fies the sol­diers fur­ther. Amidst the con­fu­sion, a wound­ed ape, Chulk, inad­ver­tent­ly pro­vides Wer­p­er with a pouch believed to con­tain the jew­els of Opar.

    Seiz­ing the oppor­tu­ni­ty, Wer­per’s avarice is rekin­dled at the prospect of pos­sess­ing the jew­els. His pre­vi­ous inten­tions, momen­tar­i­ly influ­enced by the gen­uine con­cern shown by Jane, are aban­doned for his greed. As Tarzan aids in his release, Wer­p­er cun­ning­ly secures the pouch, envis­ag­ing a for­tune with­in his grasp once more.

    As they set off to find Jane, dis­tant sounds of con­flict sug­gest she’s in imme­di­ate dan­ger, prompt­ing Tarzan to rush towards the dis­tur­bance, leav­ing Wer­p­er with a chance to escape. Wer­p­er seizes this moment, dri­ven by fear and greed, plan­ning to evade Tarzan and keep the jew­els for him­self.

    This chap­ter jux­ta­pos­es human greed and betray­al against the back­drop of the sav­age and indif­fer­ent forces of nature. It high­lights Tarzan’s hero­ism and relent­less pur­suit to res­cue Jane, while Werper’s actions under­line human frailty and self-serv­ing moti­va­tions amidst life-threat­en­ing adver­si­ty.
