Gordon Scott's last appearance as Tarzan is an entertaining if unspectacular jungle adventure. The film benefits greatly from being filmed in Africa, yielding immediate authenticity. An evil father and his two sons are robbing and pillaging the jungle and nearby inhabitants. Tarzan captures one of them, but must escort him to a city to place him under arrest. The journey is across perilous country, full of the usual animals, swamps and quicksand. He takes along a group of people stranded when their boat is blown up, including a bickering married couple and a young blond beauty. The prisoner himself is the greatest threat, including a finale featuring a fight on rocks between Tarzan and, well, Tarzan, since Jock Mahoney would take over the role in the next film!
