Melmendi (Dorothy Dandridge) is the peaceful Queen of the Ashuba, loyal to retiring Commissioner Peters. He's showing his replacement Conners around. They meet up with Tarzan and Chita. Later, they encounter a smuggling operation and gunrunner Radijeck kills them. Radijeck supplies guns to King Bulam of the Yorango tribe and suggests attacking the Ashubs tribe.
Tarzan has been domesticated and is more white bread than ever. The light-skinned Dandridge is somehow an African queen but she could never be Jane. It does have some location shots of wildlife and a stuntman swinging in the trees which is worth something. There seems to be quite a bit of African locations. Mostly, it's Tarzan in the California backlot. The giant snake is very fake. It's an old Hollywood Tarzan which has been tamed. Lex Barker is a blonde-haired muscle-bounded model type who has a middle America personality. It's surprisingly watchable with a dash of camp.
