Tarzan and the Trappers

UK channel Talking Pictures TV have acquired an updated print of this movie, substantially different to the version previously available on video and DVD. The main title and the first story involving trapper Schroeder are the same as before. However, the second story relating to evil hunter Sikes is abandoned almost as soon as it begins. After Sikes announces his plan for a big showdown with Tarzan, the footage suddenly moves on to edited highlights of Tarzán en la selva secreta (1955) starring Vera Miles and Peter van Eyck. Neither Miles nor Van Eyck receive any screen credit in this version, and nobody bothers to explain why Sikes has suddenly disappeared from the story. Jane also vanishes from the rest of the film, which is handy for Tarzan who proceeds to give Vera Miles a bed bath.

Tarzan breaks the chain holding the baby elephant to the tree, leaving one end fastened around the elephant's leg, but a moment later we see the elephant walking away with no chain on his leg.
