Factual errors: When Tarzan and Boy walk across the hot, sandy desert on their way to get the medicine from the jungle, they both walk across it in their bare feet. Sand often gets extremely hot out in the desert, and both of them should be suffering from burns on the bottoms of their feet, but they do not. moreFAQ

Tarzan and Boy help fight an evil Nazi who is trying to take over a desert kingdom. Despite a giant spider at the end and few action scenes this is the weakest of the Weissmuller Tarzan movies. The problem is too much desert mystery and too little Tarzan. Tarzan spends a good portion of this film locked up in jail and off screen too much of the time.
