Doing a suave impersonation of 007 agent James Bond, muscular Mike Henry (as Tarzan) arrives in Mexico for his latest mission (and his first appearance as Edgar Rice Burroughs' jungle hero). After starting an unusually high body count, for the animal-loving tree-hugger, Mr. Henry dons the familiar "Tarzan" loincloth. "The outfit is casual but practical," he explains. Henry acquires a lion, leopard, and beefed-up "Dinky" - a chimp about double the size of "Cheeta". They go off to rescue kidnapped boy Manuel Padilla Jr. (as Ramel) and have shoot-outs with a gang led by David Opatoshu (as Augustus Vinero) in the jungles of Mexico. Beautiful blonde Nancy Kovack (as Sophie Renault) adds a fine female figure to the film. The film peaks early, with someone getting killed by a Coca-Cola bottle. Other than that, it's just weird to see Tarzan shooting people like he's "Rambo" while lounge music plays.
