In an Asian country, the old ruler Karim is dying. His child heir Kashi is threatened by his evil uncle Gishi Khan (Woody Strode). Tarzan (Jock Mahoney) is summoned to protect Kashi from Khan.
I didn't know that Tarzan gets summoned around the world like a superhero. In some material, Tarzan is treated like a superhero. I certainly didn't expect Tarzan to show up in Asia. He's old and in his loincloth. Did he get a drum signal? How does he get there from Africa? Did he take a plane? Did he fly coach or first class? Where does he keep his money? These are my questions for this movie. I guess none of that matters. It's The King and Tarzan. It's such an oddity and a little fascinating. It's got good Thailand locations and exotic local flavors. Tarzan veteran Woody Strode is doing yellow-face, but I'm ignoring that. As a movie, it's rather boring except for the locations, animals, and other secondary exotic stuff.
