The film revolves around Tarzan's quest, at the urging of Jane, 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 female American magician, played by [[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.
