Tarzan fights to keep a young woman out of trouble as she accompanies her parents and cowardly fiance on a trek through the dangerous African jungle. Eleanor Reed's father is out to capture exotic animals for an exhibit, and while the Reeds and their guides hunt for suitable specimens, local despot Ben Ali Bey plots to capture Eleanor and add her to his harem of trophy wives.

In keeping with the athletic legacy of former Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller, this independent Tarzan sequel stars Olympic swimmer Glenn Morris as the King of the Apes, with the "Jane" role filled by fellow swimming champ Eleanor Holm.

In this fine 1938 addition to the TARZAN movies, Olympic decathlon champion Glenn Morris struts his sculpted physique as the "Lord of the Jungle." Based on one of Edgar Rice Burrough's widely adored adventure books, TARZAN'S REVENGE is the story of a damsel in distress who, while on a family safari, is taken captive by the cruel dictator Ben Alley Bey. Her dandyish boyfriend is far too feckless to rescue his poor mistress, leaving the hulking and brave Tarzan to do the job!
