Lex Barker takes over the Tarzan role from Weissmuller. He's got long blond locks and speaks in monosyllables, sort of like a California surfer dude. Only Tarzan knows the way to the Blue Valley, whose residents are eternally young. It's entrance is guarded by bowman accessorized in matching leopard prints. The magic fountain is only briefly glimpsed, resembling a Las Vegas attraction with underwater lights. There is a high quota of anthropomorphic Cheeta antics.
