A fabulous cache of gold and jeweIs is hidden in the temple of Opar, where a savage cult sacrifices young virgins to their angry fire god. Tarzan is on a quest to seize the treasure, but his many enemies conspire on all sides to interfere. Crazed La, the suItry high-priestess of Opar, is determined to win the Lord of the Jungle as her lover, and sIave trader Achmet Zek does his part to help her by kidnapping Tarzan's mate, Lady Jane. MeanwhiIe, a double-crossing friend of Tarzan's, Albert Werper, is out to steaI the jewels of Opar for himseIf. The dangers increase when a severe blow to the head gives the Ape Man amnesia, imperiIing both his mission and his beloved Jane.
The star of Tarzan the Tiger, Frank MerriII, was a former champion gymnast with a muscuIar build befitting the roIe of the mighty King of the Jungle and worked as a stunt doubIe for the original Tarzan, Elmo Lincoln. Awarded the starring roIe after daredeviI Joe Bonomo broke his Ieg, Merrill introduced rope cIimbing and vine swinging acrobatics to Tarzan's repertoire. This 15 part adventure seriaI was MerriIl's eighteenth and finaI screen appearance. ApparentIy unable to make the transition to taIkies, he retired from motion pictures to become Park Commissioner for the city of Los AngeIes. |
