This is a condensed version of the 1935 series that has not been so badly hacked in the edit as many similar "adaptations". Lord Greystoke recounts the tale of his exploits as our eponymous hero in Guatemala where he helped in the quest for the "Green Goddess" - an idol worshipped by the local tribes. Unbeknown to the locals, though, their statue contained a hidden formula for a powerful explosive and so, of course, their task isn't that simple. The evil Hiram Powers also wants the formula and his henchman "Raglan" steals it from "Tarzan" leaving us with a cracking (big) cat and mouse adventure... It is actually quite a decent formula for Bruce Bennett, and he carries the adventure - with the aide of some restless natives and lions well for this 70 minute abridgement. He hasn't quite the presence (or the yodel) of Weissmuller, but it's still quite a fun watch with some chemistry-set special effects.
