[1] The film was directed by Robert Day and produced by Sy Weintraub and Harvey Hayutin.

[2] The Bantons (father, Abel and four sons, Coy, Ethan, Johnny and Martin) rob a pay office in a settlement, killing some people.

Tarzan decides to take Coy to Kairobi for the $5000 reward so he can give it to Wyntors' widow.

Later that night Tarzan meets with the people from the boat and decides on an overland trek to take Coy Banton to Kairobi and agrees to take along, at first, the boat's mate, Tate, then reluctantly agrees to take the passengers of the boat: A business man named Ames and his wife, Fay; another man named Conway and a young woman named Lori, who all share with Tarzan their own reasons for wanting to go to Kairobi.

Later, seeing his grave (along with Tate's), Martin Banton has had enough of a father who taught them to steal and murder by age sixteen, and leaves him.

Coy's wiles have paid off and Fay Ames releases him while the others sleep, and they leave camp together.

A prolonged battle on rocks, on sand and underwater follows before Tarzan finally knocks Coy out.
