When Philo McCullough makes a big deposit in Henry Hall's bank at daughter Marion Shilling's urging, everyone is pleased. However, when Rex Lease's police dog, Tarzan, refuses to shake hands with McCullough, no one takes the obvious implication that he's a bad 'un. When McCullough steals $200,000 in bearer bonds from the bank, idiot detectives Victor Potel and Robert McKenzie keep Lease pinned down, even though he begins to suspect McCullough about two-thirds of the way through. So it's up to Tarzan to invade the hideout and snaffle the evidence.
No problem! I'm mildly surprised that Tarzan didn't drive the police to the hide-out -- Hepworth's Rover had done that almost thirty years earlier. Tarzan is a handsome dog with a nice variety of tricks, but the insipid stupidity of everyone else in this movie is not a plus. It's the first of three movies that Tarzan appeared in. I can only imagine that after the third he insisted on better scripts, and producers Albert Herman and Bert Sternbach couldn't hire anyone who could write them.
