Tarzan and the Amazons (1945)

In the lush green heart of Africa, Tarzan and Boy are thrilled to welcome Jane back from her London sojourn. On the same ship returning Jane to her adopted homelands sails Sir Guy Henderson, an archaeologist driven by desire to unearth the mystical lost city of Amazon women. However, beneath the scholarly facades, some members of the expedition harbour a glinting greed for gold rather than knowledge. Tarzan, the unyielding guardian of the jungle secrets, knows the whereabouts of the city but stands firm in refusing to divulge this information, honouring his friendship with the Amazons. However, Boy, stirred by naivety and thrill, unwittingly becomes the compass guiding them towards the enigmatic city, triggering a clash of intentions. Parallel to this, after saving the formidable Amazon warrior, Athena, from the jaws of death, Tarzan finds himself once more entwined in the fate of the mysterious city of Palmyria. The innocent recklessness of Boy, paired with Henderson's relentless pursuit of African antiquities, threatens to unveil Palmyria's sacred secrets, placing the lost tribe in grave danger. In this world where intruders are met with ferocious retribution, the stage is set for a thrilling confrontation between the noble Amazons and the invading opportunists. The question remains: will the greedy interlopers meet their deserved end at the hands of the fierce Amazons? As the drama unfolds, Tarzan emerges to defend his friends and preserve the sanctity of the jungle. The tale of 'Tarzan and the Amazons' unravels, promising a grand adventure filled with tension, action, and the timeless charm of the wild.
