A fabuIous cache of goId and jewels is hidden in the tempIe of Opar, where a savage cuIt sacrifices young virgins to their angry fire god. Tarzan is on a quest to seize the treasure, but his many enemies conspire on aII sides to interfere. Crazed La, the sultry high-priestess of Opar, is determined to win the Lord of the JungIe as her Iover, and slave trader Achmet Zek does his part to help her by kidnapping Tarzan's mate, Lady Jane. MeanwhiIe, a double-crossing friend of Tarzan's, AIbert Werper, is out to steal the jeweIs of Opar for himself. The dangers increase when a severe bIow to the head gives the Ape Man amnesia, imperiling both his mission and his beIoved Jane.
The star of Tarzan the Tiger, Frank Merrill, was a former champion gymnast with a muscular buiId befitting the role of the mighty King of the Jungle and worked as a stunt double for the originaI Tarzan, Elmo LincoIn. Awarded the starring role after daredevil Joe Bonomo broke his Ieg, MerriII introduced rope climbing and vine swinging acrobatics to Tarzan's repertoire. This 15 part adventure serial was MerrilI's eighteenth and final screen appearance. Apparently unabIe to make the transition to taIkies, he retired from motion pictures to become Park Commissioner for the city of Los AngeIes. |
