| User ReviewScott WA fast paced, enjoyable entry in the Tarzan series, this time with Tom Conway as a suave villain, greedy for the gold in Tarzan's lagoon. The finale with multiple crocodile attacks is great fun. |
| User ReviewJason JYou can tell that they were running out of steam, but it's still Tarzan. |

| User ReviewKevin M. WSilly, but enjoyable Tarzan outing involves the well cast Tom Conway as a great white hunter tricking Tarzan, Jane, and Boy (Johnny Weissmuller, Maureen O'Sullivan, and Johnny Sheffield) into helping him find some hidden gold. The group, as usual, runs afoul angry natives, and Tarzan has to rescue all of the white people from the racist native stereotypes. Racist stereotypes of native people never come off well to modern eyes, but besides that ugliness, this remains an entertaining Tarzan adventure, particularly when you have George Sander's real-life sound-alike brother as one of the villains. |

| User ReviewBryan CA better movie than the two before, but still just a repeat of a story that's been told four times already, with the exact same stock footage. This time it's gold instead of ivory driving the white man's greed, and humor is provided by a bad Irish stereotype. Tarzan is looking older. |
| User ReviewMorgan WOffers all that you would expect from a Johnny Weissmuller/Maureen O'Sullivan 'Tarzan' caper; consistently entertaining and engaging enough to see its audience through overlong swimming sequences and animal stock footage. Admittedly unexceptional compared to their other outings, but harmless fun nonetheless. |
| User ReviewDan STarzan saves Jane & Boy from crocodiles, scoundrels, a fearsome tribe, and a herd of stampeding elephants. |
| User ReviewScott SWhile all these Tarzan serials are partial clones of one another, this one in particular offers absolutely nothing new. And Johnny seems disinterested in the whole affair. |
| User ReviewDonald WIn this movie Boy is a little older but the story is still the same. White hunters kidnap Jane and Boy, Natives capture White Hunters with Boy and Jane, Tarzan comes to the rescue and everyone dies. In this movie Boy finds gold at the bottom of the river. I'm surprised the writers of this movie weren't haulded in front of the House Un-American Activities Committee after the war. When an expedition of white explorers show up Tarzan is revealed to be anti-white men, anti-gun, anti-hunting and anti-money. The white explorers find Tarzan's home when Jane tells Boy that people in civilization use gold to buy things. Boy decides to go to civilization and buy an airplane. Boy finds a native village where people are dying of fever. The explorers arrive at the village and are about to be killed by the natives when Tarzan arrives and chases the natives all away. They tell Tarzan they are looking for a lost civilization so he takes them to his escarpment. When Boy gets the fever they tell Tarzan they have the medicine to cure Boy but he has to show them were the gold is. After he shows them the gold they try to shoot Tarzan but he falls out of sight in to a canyon. The evil white capitalist who want to start a gold mine take Jane and Boy through the jungle to get to civilization. When they are attacked by the natives the short Irishman who had befriended Tarzan pretends to be killed and after the natives take everyone away he goes back with Cheeta and rescues Tarzan. Tarzan finds the natives with their prisoners in canoes in the river. He swims under them and tips them into the water where everyone except Jane and Boy are eaten by crocodiles. Tarzan gives his Irish friend a gourd full of gold and puts him on an elephant to take him back to civilization. |
