The movie, produced by Sy Weintraub, written by Clair Huffaker, and directed by Robert Day, is remembered for its very James Bond-like portrayal of a casually-suited, globetrotting Tarzan.

Augustus Vinero, a wealthy international criminal, known for his habit of sending explosive wristwatches to those not in his favor, kidnaps Ramel, a small boy who may know the location of the fabled Valley of Gold in Mexico.
