THE PLOT

---

This is Gordon Scott's fifth and last appearance as Tarzan  Neither Jane nor son Boy appear in the film. Tarzan is hired to escort a hardened criminal, Coy Banton (Jock Mahoney), through the jungle so that he can be turned over to the police. Also in the party are a group of British visitors including Ames (Lionel Jeffries), whose wife Fay (Betta St. John) falls in love with the prisoner Banton.

Tarzan must stop the jungle party from fighting amongst themselves. Their boat is blown up by Coy's father and brothers. In addition to Coy Tarzan must now lead five more of the boat's passengers through the jungle, pursued by hostile natives.

After this film, Mahoney replaced Scott as Tarzan in subsequent movies, while Scott made several Italian movies playing the role of Hercules.

Magnificent didn't feature the ape-call. Despite protests from fans, the producers decided it had been ridiculed too often to remain effective.
