Tarzan Escapes (1936)

In the untamed heart of Africa, British cousins Rita and Eric Parker arrive on a mission to find their elusive cousin Jane. An unexpected inheritance from a late uncle places half a million pounds in the balance, contingent on Jane's return to the trappings of civilization. To navigate the wilds of the continent, they secure the aid of Captain Fry, a seasoned professional hunter, who harbors a deep-seated intrigue for the legendary "Great White Ape" rumored to inhabit the sacred Mutia escarpment. Beneath the guise of a thrilling African safari, Captain Fry's intentions twist towards the sinister. The whispers of Tarzan, the fabled White Ape, ignite his unscrupulous desire to trap this extraordinary being and display him in an unbreakable duraluminum cage, a spectacle for the world to see. As the party converges, Jane, torn between her love for Tarzan and the assurance of her cousins' fortune, agrees to return to London, unknowingly playing into Fry's manipulative scheme. However, the jungle holds dangers beyond the hunter's machinations. As Jane and her kin are ensnared by warring tribesmen, it falls upon the might and cunning of Tarzan to save them. Amidst the towering trees and roaring beasts, the bonds of family, the lure of wealth, and the primal fight for survival intertwine, setting the stage for a thrilling escape from the verdant clutches of the African jungle.
