Trappers intrude into the Ape-Man's domain, poaching for profit and capturing Cheta and Boy. Other interlopers seek to plunder the riches of the lost city of Zarbo, and if that means ensnaring Tarzan in a net ' so be it! Yet no one can ensnare the loin-clothed jungle hero long... Edgar Rice Burroughs' vine-swinging Lord of the Apes (Gordon Scott) is mightily busy in Tarzan and the Trappers and for good reason: the film is an edited version of three episodes intended for a TV series. The series never came to fruition, but fortunately for fans of Tarzan, this event-packed film did, complete with a Jane (Eve Brent) and a turn by Sherman Scatman Crothers as Tarzan's friend Tyana.
