IMDb
(DVD, Serial Squadron)
Elmo Lincoln, the screen's first Tarzan, in his third Tarzan film, the first two have been lost. Tarzan tries to stop evil Europeans from reaching the lost city of Opar and stealing its gold. Jane gets kidnapped, many times over, but Tarzan always comes to her rescue. Tarzan's devoted "Bull Ape", Og, follows him around and helps out with the rescues. Tarzan can converse with Og, in ape language I suppose, and Og will listen attentively. They encounter a hostile tribe of cannibals, erupting volcanoes, earthquakes and other disasters, in other words your typical serial-style action, and quite satisfying. The Serial Squadron release utilizes all available footage, with restored intertitles, atmospheric jungle-style rhythms and sound effects, the best this serial will ever be on home video.
