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. Burroughs had previously employed the plot devices of a lost city and a Tarzan double or impostor in earlier Tarzan novels.
