A plane flys over the home of Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller), Jane (Maureen O'Sullivan), and The Boy (Johnny Sheffield). It's a group looking to trap lions for a circus. They see The Boy's skills with animals as potential for a new act. Savages appear to kill Tarzan and Jane in a fire. The group takes The Boy. Tarzan, Jane, and Cheeta are headed to New York City.
Cheeta is the standout in this sixth and final MGM Tarzan series. Tarzan also has some fun as a fish out of water. I would prefer not going into the courtroom. It brings up an uncomfortable issue that is best left unexplored. His adoption is forced by code of conduct anyways. After that, there is some good action and Tarzan is able to tackle a circus. All in all, it still is a B-movie series but it has some fun with the city despite the serious turn.
