Plot summary

Tarzan tracks down a man who has been mistaken for him. The man is under the delusion that he is Tarzan, and he is living in a lost city inhabited by people descended from early Portuguese explorers. The plot devices of a lost city and a Tarzan "double" or impostor had been used by Burroughs in some previous Tarzan novels.

gollark: That could be a cool hatchery/fansite feature.
gollark: Okay, so apparently that dropped it down to 87 dragons.
