Based on the Tarzan character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs, it is the fifth in the MGM Tarzan series to feature Weissmuller and O'Sullivan.

They kidnap Jane and Boy in order to make Tarzan show them the location of the gold.
After Tarzan complies, Medford shoots him and mistakenly presumes he is dead.
