In this 1936 film, Tarsan and Jane are living happily in the jungle. Harry Holt, who was with Jane and her Father on their first expedition, returns with a partner, Martin Arlington, to recover ivory from the elephant burial grounds. Hoyt has brought gifts of clothing, and other modern conveniences from England for her, in an effort to lure her back. She declines and says that she will stay with Tarsan. When Tarsan finds out that these men plan to loot the elephant graveyard, he will have nothing to do with it. To Tarsan, that place is as sacred as any cemetery. When Tarsan refuses to guide them, they shoot an elephant and follow it to the graveyard where it heads to die. As Martin is attempting to leave with many ivory tusks, Tarsan arrives with a large herd of elephants and stops them. Martin acts truly repentant, and promises to leave the ivory alone and go back to England. The next morning, Martin tries to kill Tarsan. Jane believes that he is dead, but doesn't know that Martin shot him. Cheeta and other apes find him and care for him. Jane is planning to leave Africa, and return to England with Hoyt and Martin. Nursed back to health, Tarsan goes after the expedition to stop them, but the Lion People, who summon lions, are already after them. Lions attack and kill both Hoyt and Martin. Tarsan and the elephants and apes arrive and kill and chase off all of the lions and the Lion People. He rescues Jane, and the elephants return all of the ivory to the elephant graveyard.Read full review
I never really read the description, ( my bad ). Did not realize it was VHS format, not DVD. Otherwise shipping was prompt, and the item, though vhs is a good buy. Learned my lesson....READ

This was the second Tarzan movie featuring Johnny Wisemuller and was perhaps the best. Tarzan the ape man was the first featuring this cast and this is the sequel although they were not called that in those days. The nude bathing scene in this movie was responsible for the creation of movie censorship and was very racy for cinima of the times especially in American film.
Entertaining movie of old, when characters had character and there was a real plot developed in the movie. Not a lot of special effects but with real stunts.
