Comment/Synopsis

A woman joins her father and an explorer to go across the jungle to find ivory in the fabled elephants graveyard and along the way meets up with Tarzan. This is a curious mishmash of a film, with the four main characters obviously filmed on a set and these scenes are inter cut with stock footage of jungle and animals. It also used Johnny Weissmuller's yodell.
