	Movies - Tarzan's New York Adventure

Tarzan's New York Adventure is a 1942 film, the sixth Tarzan film to feature actors Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan. Of interest is the uncredited appearance as a circus roustabout by Elmo Lincoln who in 1918 was the first actor to star as Tarzan.

Plot

Circus workers land an airplane in the jungles of Africa in search of lions for their show. While trapping lions, the three men meet up with Tarzan, Jane and their adopted son Boy. The head of the circus is taken by Boy and realizes that he'd be a great act for the circus. The group is attacked by natives, and it appears that Tarzan and Jane have perished in a jungle fire. The men take Boy on a plane back to the United States. Tarzan's loyal chimp Cheeta wakes the Tarzan and Jane before they are burned by the fire. Then Cheeta tells Tarzan that Boy has left with the men on the metal bird. Tarzan, Jane and the chimp track across the jungle and eventually end up in New York City where they attempt to get Boy back first by legal means. When that doesn't work, Tarzan gets his boy back with the help of circus elephants.
