The time: the nineteen teens. The problem: America's complacency. In All-Story weekly, complete in one issue, a new hero for all - the jungle lord Tarzan made his debut.

This documentary looks at the creator through the eyes of friends and family, and follows his most famous creation from pulp fiction to comics to America's heart on the silver screen.
