The Story: Tarzan in the Big City
The movie begins in the jungle. Some circus workers are looking for lions for their show. They find Boy and take him away to the United States. They want him to be part of their circus act.
Tarzan, Jane, and their chimpanzee friend Cheeta decide to go after Boy. They travel all the way to New York City to find him. Tarzan eventually finds the circus where Boy is being held.
