This is Johnny Weissmuller's ninth appearance as Tarzan, Johnny Sheffield's sixth appearance as his adopted son Boy, and Brenda Joyce's introduction as Jane. Tarzan rescues a woman named Athena from a leopard attack. She is injured and requires assistance to return to her home, Palmyria, a city of females. Tarzan promises to keep the location a secret unaware that Boy had followed him there. Jane returns to the jungle accompanied by an archaeologist who convices Boy to show him the way to Palmyria after finding a bracelet that Athena left behind. The expedition is captured and the men, including Boy, are sentenced to hard labor in the city's quarries. They are helped to escape by Athena but things go wrong when greedy members of the group loot the city's treasures. Athena is killed and Boy is sentenced to death. Tarzan returnes the stolen artifacts and he and Boy are allowed to leave the city.
