Tarzan, feeling rootless in the wake of sacrificing his prospects of wedding Jane Porter,[N 1] leaves the United States for Europe to visit his friend Paul d'Arnot.

In France, Rokoff repeatedly tries to eliminate Tarzan, eventually engineering a duel between the ape man and Raoul by making it appear that the former is Olga's lover.

Afterward, Tarzan sails for Cape Town and strikes up a shipboard acquaintance with Hazel Strong, Jane's best friend.

Tarzan has them take him there, but is captured by its inhabitants, a race of ape-like men, and is condemned to be sacrificed to their sun god.

La, high priestess of the lost city of Opar is to perform the sacrifice and speaks the ape language Tarzan learned as a child.

They are all invited on a cruise up the west coast of Africa aboard the Lady Alice, the yacht of another friend, Lord Tennington.

The three construct a rude shelter and eke out an existence of near starvation for weeks until Jane and Clayton are surprised in the forest by a lion.

Clayton loses Jane's respect by cowering in fear before the beast instead of defending her, but they are not attacked and discover the lion dead, speared by an unknown hand.

Tarzan renounces any dealings with other humans, abandons the Waziri, and rejoins his original ape clan.

The first film starred Gene Pollar as the ape man, and the second Elmo Lincoln, the original movie Tarzan.
