Trivia
The impassioned speeches Dr. Lazar (Edgar Barrier) delivers to the Leopard Tribe about protecting their cult and homeland feature gestures, facial expressions and vocal inflections clearly intended to remind 1946 audiences of Adolf Hitler. See more »Goofs
When Cheetah sneaks up on the Commissioner and Doctor Lazar, he sprays the Commissioner with the soda water from the bottle on the ground. You see him hit squarely in the face with the water, yet right after he gets up from his chair, his face and clothes are dry. See more »Quotes

Here we go again. Ol' Tarz is just as dumb as can be in this entry of the series though he's in pretty good shape. Jane is on hand and is in better shape, as well as the kid, Boy, and of course, to guarantee laughter, is Cheeta, the chimp. This episode would be fun for kids about thirty years ago (pre-computers) but not for today's little hipsters. This reel is not even good for laughs but is good for bringing back memories of how naive we youngsters were. There is one sour note in this Tarzan feature. In darkest Africa the natives are oddly all white. It's bad enough that Tarzan and his family don't even have a tan but , come on, the indigenous natives? The old gag about the natives calling Tarzan "that crazy white man" hold true here along with one line about "monkey business." All in all, clean entertainment that the kids won't like.
