John Clayton, formerly Tarzan, lives in England with his beloved Jane. John’s parents have long been in the jungle of Africa, where they tried to survive. When they died, their child was sheltered by a monkey. She raised him and replaced his mother. Tarzan grew up among animals in the wild. But when the leader of the flock of monkeys beat him, people from the tribe picked him up, then Tarzan began to live with them. There he met his future wife. His named mother was killed by the son of the leader Mbongo, but Tarzan took revenge by killing the young man.
Once the Belgian king invites him to visit Congo. John refuses, but he is persuaded by George Washington Williams, in order to find confirmation of the capture of the inhabitants of local tribes. No one realizes that the proposal was invented by Leon Rum.
