A family is shipwrecked on the coast of Africa, only for tragedy to strike again when the leopard Sabor slays both parents. The baby, however, is saved by a female gorilla, who names him Tarzan and raises him as her own.
As Tarzan grows up in the jungle, he earns the respect of the group by defeating Sabor. But when Professor Porter and his beautiful daughter Jane arrive to study the gorillas, he is forced to make a terrible choice. Will Tarzan betray his adoptive family for the human life he never had?
