Synopsis:

Available for the first time on DVD through the Warner Archive Collection, bring home these five Lex Barker Tarzan films. Featuring appearances by Hollywood legends Raymond Burr, Dorothy Dandridge, Elmo Lincoln and many more!

Tarzan's Magic Fountain
Tarzan penetrates a hidden valley reminiscent of "Lost Horizon" where no one ages -- unless they leave. An aviatrix entered the land of the fountain of youth years earlier after a plane crash, but now must return to London to free her fiancee from a prison sentence. The original Tarzan, Elmo Lincoln, has a cameo.

Tarzan and the Slave Girl
A tribe of lion-worshippers called the Lionians seek to repopulate its numbers by kidnapping women as slave-brides. Among those kidnapped: Tarzan’s Jane (Vanessa Brown, "The Ghost and Mrs. Muir"), making Tarzan an easy target for the alluring Denise Darcel ("Vera Cruz").

Tarzan's Peril
The arrival of gunrunners in the jungle can mean only one thing for Tarzan: trouble, and plenty of it! Armed with rifles acquired in exchange for gems, the warlike Yorongan people overwhelm the proud, peaceful Ashuba tribe and its beloved queen (Dorothy Dandridge). The loin-clothed Lord of the Apes plunges into action to restore order in an adventure that has him swooping from tree to tree; plunging over a waterfall; confronting a giant, flesh-eating plant; liberating captives and taking on the Yorongan king in a knife-edged death match. Lex Barker portrays the legendary Ape-Man (the star’s third of five vine-swinging roles) in this matinee rouser that, rare for the series, includes scenes shot on location in Africa.

Tarzan's Savage Fury
English bwanas wind their way through uncharted territory toward the homeland of the hostile Wazuri. There, they hope to lay hands on diamonds they say are needed for Britain’s armaments. But the entire safari is a ruse. Its leaders are jewel thieves who’ve duped Tarzan into being their guide. The Ape-Man has a fierce fight on his hands in this fourth Tarzan film starring Lex Barker.

Tarzan and the She-Devil
Emmy-winner Raymond Burr ("Ironside," "Perry Mason") co-stars with Monique Van Vooren ("Ash Wednesday," "Andy Warhol's Frankenstein"), the beautiful captain of a band of ivory thieves who enslaves a warrior tribe, leading them into territory teeming with huge elephants. Lex Barker's last appearance as Tarzan.
