When Tarzan awakens, Jane realizes he does not understand what she is saying. Jane follows and rips a piece off her skirt, wets the cloth and bathes Tarzan. Chimpanzees and an orangutan surround their friend, and an elephant lifts Tarzan with its tusks and carries him to a nearby river. He swings her through the jungle until he cannot move anymore, then drops to the ground, unconscious. Tarzan swings to the rescue, battles the snake, and carries Jane off. However, an enormous snake wraps itself around her and she falls into the water while struggling to escape. She fires in response and leans against a tree to wait for them. Jane maneuvers through the jungle and hears a shot fired in the distance as Parker and Holt try to locate her. When they stop, Jane fires her gun as a warning, and Tarzan runs away. He carries her through the jungle, swinging on vines. However, Holt turns his back for a second and Tarzan pulls Jane under the water and they disappear. As they continue through the jungle, Jane stops at the river to fill her canteen and Parker orders Holt to watch her. Africa is abducted by the savage tribe, but Parker mistakenly thinks Tarzan kidnapped her and it fuels his desire to kill the ape man. As they journey through the jungle, the expedition is unaware that members of an unfriendly tribe follow them. However, Jane declares Tarzan is a man, and she knows he did not want to hurt her. Parker plans to kill Tarzan and hang his stuffed body as a trophy. As they camp that night, Parker insists the "ape" desires Jane. Moments later, a shot scares the lion away and a second shot drives Tarzan away as Parker and Holt arrive to rescue Jane. When a large wave washes over Jane, Tarzan attempts to save her, but she thinks he is attacking and tries to escape. The lion watches her until Tarzan yells, and runs onto the beach to pet the animal. After bathing, a lion runs onto the beach, and she dives back into the water. While the others continue on their trek, Jane insists on bathing alone, and plans to meet them at the campsite. The group runs through the jungle and onto the beach of the inland sea. Jane is doubtful, but as they continue to hike through a river, Parker hears the sound of waves. Later, Parker shows Jane a map he found in a Cairo, Egypt, museum revealing the route taken by an Egyptian expedition 1,000 years ago to a graveyard of ivory near an inland sea. The rope wears thin as each person scales the mountain face, and as the last worker climbs, the rope breaks and the man falls to his death. The next day, Jane announces she is climbing the mountain, too, despite her father's protests. When Tarzan yells again, Parker orders Africa to shame the workers by telling them she is not afraid to continue. The native porters are frightened of Tarzan and do not want to continue, so Parker offers more money. That evening, they hear someone yell and Parker claims it is the legendary Tarzan (Miles O'Keeffe), a gigantic white man who might be half ape. As they camp for the night, Parker announces Jane must return to base camp in the morning and report on his "remarkable" progress. Later, they reach a mountain of rock that must be scaled. Jane is adamant, so Parker gives her a pistol, and they set off into the jungle. In the morning, Jane learns that her father is searching for the legendary elephant graveyard, and declares she is joining the expedition over Parker's objections. Parker insists he loved them and still carries a photograph of his wife and baby daughter. She hates her father for leaving shortly after her birth and only knows him through newspaper clippings of his adventures. That night, Jane dines with Parker and informs him that her mother recently died, leaving Jane a wealthy heiress. Holt also introduces Jane to her father's mistress, a native woman Parker calls "Africa" (Akushula Selayah). Harry Holt (John Philip Law), the expedition photographer, is surprised to learn Parker has a daughter and insists Jane take his tent. Parker is stunned when Jane steps off the boat, noting she looks exactly like her mother, Elizabeth. She pays for passage on a small boat, but when drunken sailors break into her cabin, she shoots at them and subsequently sails to Parker's camp on a supply boat. In 1910, Jane Parker (Bo Derek) travels to West Africa seeking adventurer James Parker (Richard Harris), the father she has never known.The synopsis below may give away important plot points.
