Tarzan's New York Adventure

What is it?

Cheetah must be seeing things.

What is it, Tarzan?

What is it?

Strange sound in sky.

Big. Far off.

- I don't hear anything.

- Tarzan hear.

- Cheetah hear. Elephants hear.

- I hear it.

- It's like a great wind coming.

- There!

Sounds like it's going to land.

White men no longer make safari.

Come through sky like vultures.

- Tarzan send men away.

- We'll see it.

Boy stay.

Tarzan's right, darling.

You better come with me.

Why doesn't Tarzan want strangers

on the escarpment, Mother?

Because he loves us

and wants to protect us.

When strangers come from outside,

they always cause trouble.

They're always seeking something.

- Something? But what, Mother?

- Well, for instance, gold.

There's lots of yellow stones in the river.

Tarzan says he doesn't want them.

But when they find them,

they lose their reason.

They do terrible things.

They even destroy each other.

Cheetah! Now, stop that at once!

Well, it serves you right.

What's the matter?

Escarpment, juju, bwana.

Escarpment taboo.

Escarpment taboo, your grandmother.

Tell your pals we're here to trap lions.

We'll get them.

Place kind of gives me

the willies too, Buck.

Queer, wasn't it? The way it suddenly

shot up above the clouds?

Another couple of feet,

we'd smack right into it.

- Still looks like Africa to me.

- I know, but try and find it on the map.

Gentlemen! We're in luck.

The place is alive with lions!

- Tracks everywhere!

- Good.

I figured those were lions

I saw from the air.

Bwana, juju-man come.

Tarzan!

The ape-man they talked about

back at the settlement.

Then it's true, he's not a myth.

- Hey! What's the idea?

- Gun no good!

- Men go!

- Wait a minute!

- You think you run Africa?

- Take it easy, Buck.

This is his neck of the woods.

Now, gentlemen, gentlemen,

we're forgetting.

I think introductions are in order.

My name is Manchester Mountford,

the world-famous animal trainer.

This is Mr. Jimmie Shields,

our pilot.

This gentleman is Mr. Buck Rand,

well-known hunter and animal man.

See, we've come from America

to fetch lions.

- Men go!

- Oh, we can't very well right now.

It'll be dark. I don't fly through

strange country at night.

We'll have to wait until morning.

Tomorrow sun make new safari.

When shadow come between sticks,

men go!

I suppose he means when the tall stick's

shadow pulls back to the short stick.

All right, get back to work.

Be finished in just a minute, Cheetah.

There, finished.

I think Tarzan would like some plums

for breakfast.

- That's pretty.

- For Boy. Spear fish.

It's a good idea. He'll love it.

It'll take his mind off the aeroplane.

Thank you, Cheetah.

Oh, those are nice plums.

Tarzan, what were those men like?

One man bad. Other man funny.

- And the third man, what was he like?

- Third man make iron bird fly.

Maybe good. Understand Tarzan.

Oh, I won't be happy until I see

that plane flying away in the morning.

Look!

Did you see my airplane?

Did you? Did you see it fly?

Looks like the airplane we saw.

Boy, look what Tarzan has made you.

For Boy. Spear fish.

- Where're we going? The jungle?

- No. Down mountain. Big waterfall.

If we went in the jungle,

we might see the airplane.

- Just pass by, I mean.

- Airplane leave with sun.

- It won't leave during the night?

- No, darling.

This is strange country.

They wouldn't fly at night.

Sure?

- Boy sleep now. Spear fish tomorrow.

- All right, Tarzan. Good night.

- Good night, Mommy.

- Good night, darling.

I wish I could get just one look

at the airplane.

Maybe I could make one like it myself.

Boy see plane

when new sun climb mountain.

- Did you change your mind?

- Boy see plane. In sky.

That's right. He'll see it when it

takes off. I hadn't thought of that.

- I hope he won't be too disappointed.

- Boy forget plane soon.

Maybe.

Tarzan know. Tarzan catch giant bird.

Train bird. Boy fly.

Good heavens, no! I don't want him

hurtling through the sky on a bird's neck.

- He's daring enough as it is.

- Boy little Tarzan.

And I want him to grow up

to be a big Tarzan.

- Tarzan watch Boy.

- I know you will. I shouldn't worry.

I know there's never a need to worry

as long as you're with me.

At first I used to have so many

little fears for myself, for Boy.

But one by one, you chased them away.

Wouldn't it be strange if someday

I became as brave as you are?

Jane no need to be brave.

Jane beautiful. Jane good.

You're my goodness, darling.

My strength.

Jane, Tarzan. Tarzan, Jane.

Come on. Cut out the monkeyshines.

Get those crates aboard.

Load them on the other side.

- What're you doing? Starting trouble?

- No, just trying to avoid it.

I'd say we've got a half an hour.

We've got until the last trap's loaded,

and we don't go before.

Now, gentlemen, perhaps we could sit

down with Mr. Tarzan and talk it over.

- A white boy?

- Here? A phenomenon.

He rides that bull like an old-timer.

It's big, isn't it?

How's it fly? Like a bird?

No, sonny. The wings don't move. That

blade there going around does the trick.

You mean that big fan?

It makes it fly?

Say, young fella,

where'd you come from?

I live here with Tarzan and Jane.

- Did Tarzan send you here?

- No, sir, he didn't. I came by myself.

- Could this carry an elephant like Simba?

- It might if you could get him aboard.

- You got those elephants trained?

- They do what I tell them.

- Truly a phenomenon!

- A natural.

- What makes the fan go?

- What else can the elephants do?

You're the man

who drives the plane.

- I'm the pilot. How'd you figure it out?

- You look like you like the sky.

Well, thanks, sonny.

- Say, that's okay.

- Reminds me of one of my old acts.

- Can I go inside?

- Sure you can.

Wait, they know any more tricks?

Yes, sir. They can do almost anything

I ask them to.

Steady now, Buli. Buli, I won't hurt you.

Stay still.

There.

That wasn't so bad, was it?

That kid would be a sensation

in a circus.

I can see the 24-sheets now.

The boy-king of the jungle!

He'd be a gold mine

if we had him back in America.

I get it. Now that you've got the lions

for Sargent's mangy circus...

...you figure

on snatching the boy too.

- You're wonderful, sonny.

- Now may I go inside?

You sure can. Listen, sonny boy,

as soon as we get these crates aboard...

...we'll take you for a ride.

- I can ride?

Lay off, Buck! Go on home.

Take your animals and go home.

- I promised the kid a ride, didn't I?

- Not with me at the stick, you didn't.

Now, do what I say, sonny, get going!

- He'd be a headliner under the big top.

- The chance of a lifetime.

- You got religion suddenly, didn't you?

- I like to stay on the beam when I can.

It works out better all around.

- That shadow's getting pretty close.

- I'll worry about that shadow.

I would, if I were you.

Better check that last trap, Mountie.

We'll get out of here.

Two. Come on.

Come on, come on, come on. Get these

crates aboard and get that tent down.
