THE STORY A deadly cult of leopard worshippers unleashes a reign of terror in the jungles surrounding the town of Zambezi and wipes out many caravans.  The commissioner is convinced it's wild leopards, so it's up to Tarzan to stop them. Tarzan (Johnny Weissmuller), however,  has suspicions about the leopard killings and the appearance and furtive behavior of a young native boy he and Jane (Brenda Joyce) have taken in after he claims he was lost in the jungle. The boy is actually Kimba (Tommy Cook), the younger brother of the leopard sect goddess, sent to spy on Tarzan. His aim is to get Jane's heart, a deed that would make him a warrior in the eyes of the cult. The goddess is the beautiful but deadly Queen Lea, (Acquanetta). She is aided by her lover Ameer Lazar (Edgar Barrier). Tarzan comes to the rescue of four Zambezi maidens but the leopard-men don't give up easily and they capture Tarzan, Jane and Boy (Johnny Sheffield) and bring them back to the leopard den for torture and sacrifice. Tarzan manages to topple the temple pillars, bringing the building down on the members of the leopard cult. As usual, Cheetah saves the day and steals the film with his monkeyshines.
