In this thrilling sequel to Tarzan the Ape Man (1932), Tarzan and Jane live peacefully in the jungle until an expedition led by Jane’s former suitor, Harry Holt, arrives searching for ivory in the elephant graveyard. Accompanying him is a ruthless businessman, Martin Arlington, who will stop at nothing to claim the ivory and possibly Jane for himself. As greed, betrayal, and danger unfold, Jane is torn between her civilized past and her deep love for Tarzan.
Notable for its romantic chemistry, daring stunts, and then-controversial nude swimming scene, Tarzan and His Mate is considered one of the most sensual and bold entries in the entire Tarzan film series.
