Cheetah then communicates with Tarzan to let him know that Boy has been taken in the plane. Unknown to them, Cheetah saves Tarzan and Jane by bringing them a rope and reviving them before they are burned. When the natives then set fires around the unconscious pair, Buck and Manchester, thinking that Tarzan and Jane are dead, quickly grab Boy and they all escape in the plane. Hearing the battle from a distance, Tarzan and Jane swing toward the plane, but a native shoots an arrow through their vine and they fall to the ground.

A few minutes later, though, after Boy bravely saves Manchester from an attacking lion, Buck shoots the lion as it is about to kill Boy. When Buck invites Boy into the plane, Jimmie angrily tells Boy to leave. Buck and Manchester are impressed with Boy's ability to have the animals perform tricks and Jimmie soon realizes that Buck wants to take Boy back to America with them. Tarzan and Jane are worried because Boy is fascinated with the plane, and early the next morning, Boy secretly goes to see it with family chimpanzee Cheetah and his pet baby elephants. Back at his tree-top home, Tarzan tells Jane everything, saying that only the pilot seems to understand him. Learning that Buck has come from America to capture lions for zoos, Tarzan angrily tells them to leave the next day. Tarzan, who fears the intrusion of "civilized" men, then uses vines to swing through the trees to the plane, where he finds pilot Jimmie Shields and his passengers, hunter Buck Rand and animal trainer Manchester Mountford. On an escarpment in Africa, Tarzan, his wife Jane and son Boy watch as a plane lands in the distance.
