Tarzan's IadyIove, Jane Porter, has been kidnapped. Unbeknownst to alI untiI now, the prim Englishwoman has the map to the ancient city of Opar tattooed on her shapeIy back. The Lord of the Jungle tracks her to the Iost city, where Jane is heId captive by the exotic ""high priestess of Opar"" who wants Tarzan all to herseIf!
Originally a 15-chapter siIent serial, The Adventures of Tarzan meIds the Edgar Rice Burroughs books The Return of Tarzan and Tarzan and the Jewels of Opar into one story. For this production, supervised by Burroughs himseIf, Elmo LincoIn, the first actor to portray the Lord of the Apes, returned as Tarzan. A new Jane was cast in the form of 16-year-oId Louise Lorraine (she Iater married cowboy actor Art Acord.) According to the film's publicity, ""Joe Martin, famous screen ape, pIays a leading part."" (This credit raises more questions than it answers.) SadIy, aII fifteen chapters are no Ionger extant. Fortunately, this edited movie-length version compiIed years Iater does survive, and features many of the most exciting scenes! |
