action
The white doctor Dr. In his newly built jungle hospital, Sturdy wants to fight a terrible plague that is rampant in the Nagassus camp in the African jungle. He is supported by his young colleague Warwick, his daughter Anne and Tarzan. Futu, the tribe's medicine man, regards the successes of the medical profession with suspicion because he sees his influence waning. A few times he had to see the successes medicine had brought about for white people. That is why he instructs his assistant Ramo to steal the tincture from the pharmacy of the jungle hospital, which makes the sick well so that he can perform “miracles” himself. Ramo succeeds in the theft, but he catches a bottle full of poison. With this, Futa now wants to cure the young tribal chief, who is now also affected by the disease.
The two doctors at the Urwald Hospital discover the theft and discover Futa's sinister plans. Now only Tarzan can prevent the chief's involuntary death by quickly intervening. Single-handedly, he goes to the Nagassus camp. But Futa and Ramo can overpower him and throw him into a dungeon. Tarzan can break free. At the last minute he manages to stop Futa from poisoning the chief. In order to prove to the tribal elders that “his” tincture is the right one, the medicine man takes a strong sip of it. Shortly afterwards he sinks dead.
Tarzan brings the young chief to Dr. Sturdy's Hospital where he can be cured.
criticism
The lexicon of international film only roughly outlines the plot, but abstains from criticism. The Protestant film observer only remarks in his summary that it is a common Tarzan conversation.
