Description

A female ape takes to mothering the orphaned boy (Tarzan) and raises him over the course of many years until a rescue mission is finally launched and the search party combs the jungle for the long-time missing Lord Greystoke.

Tarzan saves her from harm just in the knick of time and love begins to blossom.
