| Tarzan goes up against a baddie by the name of Schroeder, who is trapping animals and selling them illegally to zoos. A twist is thrown into the plot when Schroeder's brother, with the help of money-hungry trader Lapin, hunts a different kind of quarry, human game. Now Tarzan must not only fight to save the animals of the jungle, but he must also save himself. Three episodes of a failed TV series edited for theater release. | |

When our eponymous hero deals with a hunter trapping jungle beasts, he doesn't reckon on his even more venal brother "Sikes" (Saul Gorse) who sets out to avenge his sibling and to secure himself some more precious cargo - and this time "Tarzan" is also on his list of targets, too. None of this was f ... ilmed anywhere near a jungle - maybe not even in a botanical hot house; but the efforts from the handsome Gordon Scott in the title role along with Eve Brant as "Jane" and the engaging youngster Rickie Sorensen ("Boy") go some way to compensating. It's a reasonably paced adventure with maybe a tad too much moralising in the script, but for a television movie it isn't terrible. If anyone has seen Leslie Banks in "The Most Dangerous Game" (1932) they might recognise certain aspects of that plot contributing to this watchable, but forgettable adventure.
