Chunky though spry Tarzan (Elmo Lincoln) grins, sprints through brush to wrestle (wrassle) a large African-American man dressed as an African tribal savage; Tarzan monkey-flips the black man, rolls around on the ground with him; Jane (Enid Markey) lays on ground, reacts grandly to the fight; action to freeze frame of Jane watching the fight, the crook of her arm drawn over her mouth & nose. Brief shot stereotypical Mamie (Mammy, African-American female housekeeper) leaning out window & crying for help; Tarzan leaps into scene, attacks & stabs to death a lion trying to get into cabin; Tarzan stands over the fallen lion, foot on carcass, beats his breast in victory, action to freeze frame. | |
