Edgar Rice Burroughs, born in 1875, was a pioneering writer who created the iconic character Tarzan. His work includes Tarzan and the Green Goddess (1938) and continued to influence the genre with Tarzan's Secret Treasure (1941) and Tarzan's Greatest Adventure (1959). Burroughs’ vivid storytelling not only captivated readers but also laid the groundwork for numerous film adaptations that embraced the wild spirit of adventure and exploration. His legacy endures through these films, which reflect the adventurous ethos of his literary creations.
Tarzan's Secret Treasure
An expedition team arrives on Tarzan's escarpment. By chance, the two villainous members Medford and Vandermeer find out that there is plenty of gold on the escarpment. They kidnap Jane and Boy in order to make Tarzan show them the location of the gold. After Tarzan complies, Medford shoots him and mistakenly presumes he is dead. Soon the group is captured by natives, whereupon Tarzan, comes to their rescue.
