Born to noble parents marooned on the savage West African coast, the young lord Greystoke is orphaned in his first year of life. Named Tarzan by the great apes that raise him, he must learn the laws of the jungle to survive. He quickly matches the beasts around him in strength and agility, yet understands that he is different from them. In combining higher intelligence with his physical abilities, he may be able to rule the jungle.
