"Boy man now... do man's work."

Johnny Weissumuller returns to the screen as Tarzan for the eleventh time and Brenda Joyce makes her third appearance in the role of Jane in a story concerning a band of hunters who are trapping animals for zoos.

The film is also the eighth and final appearance of Johnny Sheffield as Boy due to producer Sol Lesser feeling that the actor had outgrown the role.

In 1949 Johnny Sheffield would make a small uncredited appearance as a music lover in the Lassie film The Sun Comes Up, and again wearing a loincloth starring as Bomba the Jungle Boy (based on the first entry in a series of books by author Roy Rockwood).

Johnny Sheffield would make 12 films from 1949-1955 as Bomba the Jungle Boy, which is the same number of movies that Johnny Weissmuller would star in as Tarzan.

Director Kurt Neumann would later helm two Lex Barker films: Tarzan and the She-Devil (1953) and The Deerslayer (1957), along with the Vincent Price sci-fi classic The Fly (1958).

Music composer Paul Sawtell is remembered by sci-fi fans for the main title theme of the classic 1960s TV series Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea.

Cast as Prince Ozira, actor Ted Hecht later credits include Tarzan's Magic Fountain (1949), Tarzan and the She-Devil (1953), and an episode of the Johnny Weismuller TV series Jungle Jim (S1.E6).

California filming locations include the Los Angeles County Arboretum & Botanic Garden (Arcadia) and the RKO Studios in Hollywood.

Ted Hecht passed in 1969 at the age of 61.
