Storyline
| Plot Summary |
After an airplane crashes in the jungle, Tarzan rescues its five occupants who were en route to Europe via Cairo. The private plane was owned by Dick Penrod, an avid flyer whose hobby has created a rift between him and his wife Diana. After their rescue, they also encounter a professional hunter who offers to escort them to the coast. He has other plans for them, however, having already made a deal with a local tribal chief. In the end, it's left up to Tarzan to rescue them all a second time. Written by garykmcd |
