'''''Tarzan's Desert Mystery''''' is a 1943 American [[Tarzan]] film directed by [[Wilhelm Thiele]] and starring [[Johnny Weissmuller]] and [[Nancy Kelly]].
Like its immediate predecessor, ''[[Tarzan Triumphs]]'', the film mentions Tarzan's mate, Jane, but does not show her on screen. The explanation for her absence, as in the earlier film, is that she is still in the United Kingdom helping the war effort. (Maureen O'Sullivan had played Jane in the first six of Weissmuller's Tarzan films, but when the character of Jane returned after a two-picture absence, she was played by [[Brenda Joyce (actress)|Brenda Joyce]], not O'Sullivan.)

The film revolves around Tarzan's quest, at the urging of Jane who is helping Britain's war effort, to find a rare plant-derived serum to help Allied troops during [[World War II]]. Tarzan's son, Boy, manages to tag along as the ape man journeys into the Sahara, and the two are soon joined by a rambunctious horse and a travelling magician ([[Nancy Kelly]]). As they seek the area of North Africa where the plant grows, they run into trouble with Nazi spies who are trying to take over a small Arab kingdom.▼
