Really, this isn't a bad movie. It has plenty of action and excitement in it.
I guess when the actor who played Tarzan in this turned down "Wings" to do it and mentioned how much better "Wings" did in the box office, Edgar Rice Burroughs probably said "Well, you've got my daughter, don't you?" This is different from other Tarzan movies. In this, Tarzan has a bride, but it's not his wife, it's Lady Greystoke! Um, if they're married, why aren't they living together? His sister and Lady Greystoke...er Mrs. Tarzan are being accompanied by Tarzan's adventuring friend to see Tarzan.
Not too long after that, a guy who reminds me of Old Ben Gun (of Treasure Island) makes an appearance. His name is Gordon and he has escaped from an awful tribe whose bosses are called "Sons of the Sun" (Gosh, how original!).
Tarzan brings Gordon back to his place and is seen in a coat and tie (huh?). Gorden tells the tale and some evil men headed up by a very tall guy named Esteban are after Tarzan's treasure, but change their minds after hearing Gordon tell how there are many diamonds over where The Sons of the Sun reside.
While Tarzan is away with his pet lion, Jab, Esteban and his henchmen come in and kidnap Tarzan's sister. Esteban also tells Gordon he needs to lead him and his henchmen to where the diamonds are.
One other disturbing thing about Gordon. His clothing resembles a dress. I'm sure that's not what was intended.
Gordon leads them there, but Tarzan's sister is kidnapped and prepared to be sacrificed to the Sons of the Sun's god.
The Sons of the Sun kill Gordon, but before he dies, he tells Tarzan, who just happens to discover him in time, what has happened, so Tarzan and his minions head that way.
Tarzan's outfit. It really does look like the get-up Elmo Lincoln wore in the original movie of nearly 10 years earlier.
In the meantime, things are sure not looking good for Tarzan's sister. To sacrifice her, the Sons of the Sun plan to feed her to their lion. The Lion is just about to open his mouth and Tarzan arrives just in time with his group.
In that group is Jab, the lion. After Tarzan's sister avoids being fed to another lion, another Son of the Sun decides to do something unkind to her, but Jab has himself some lunch in the form of that Son of the Sun.
Tarzan does win and all ends well and there's lot of adventure, but it deserves no better than a "6".
