Plot

In the inhospitable terrain of the jungle, a tragedy unfolds as an airplane falls from the sky, crashing into the escarpment. Amidst the wreckage, a beacon of hope emerges - a lone survivor, an infant boy. This young life is soon discovered by Jane and Tarzan, the untamed lord of the jungle. They welcome the boy into their unique family, christening him 'Boy,' and over the years, he becomes a child of two worlds, learning the laws of the jungle under Tarzan's watchful eye and experiencing the warmth of familial love from Jane. Their harmonious existence, however, is disrupted five years later when an expedition arrives from England. Led by Sir Thomas Lancing, these strangers carry with them a revelation - Boy is the inheritor of a vast fortune and they have come to take him back to a life of privilege and structure. Tarzan, fiercely protective, refuses to part with the child he considers his own. Jane, torn between the wild jungle life she adores and the promise of a secure future for Boy, contemplates a heartbreaking decision that may fracture her bond with Tarzan forever. Will Jane guide them to civilization, defying Tarzan's wishes? Or, will the call of the jungle prove too strong? In this tale of love, family, and the struggle between two worlds, Tarzan Finds a Son! explores the depths of parental affection and the sacrifices one might make for the best interest of a child. The movie promises a captivating journey into the heart of the jungle and the complexities of human emotions.
