Tarzan Finds A Son is a classic adventure film from 1939 and is the fourth installment in the Tarzan series. The movie is directed by Richard Thorpe and stars Johnny Weissmuller as Tarzan, Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane, and Johnny Sheffield as their adopted son, Boy. The movie picks up where the previous film, Tarzan Escapes, left off. Tarzan and Jane are living in a treehouse in the jungle with their chimpanzee companion, Cheeta. One day, they come across a small plane that has crashed in the jungle. The only survivor of the crash is a baby boy, and Tarzan and Jane decide to adopt him and name him Boy.

The film follows the family's adventures as they try to teach Boy how to survive in the jungle. Tarzan trains Boy in the ways of the jungle, teaching him to hunt and to swing through the trees using vines. Jane, meanwhile, teaches Boy how to read and write, and tries to instill some of her own values and beliefs in him.

However, their idyllic life in the jungle is soon disrupted when a group of treasure hunters arrives on the scene. Led by a man named Austin Lancing, the group is searching for a lost city called Zarbo, which is said to hold vast amounts of gold and treasure. Lancing and his men are willing to do whatever it takes to find the city, and they end up causing a lot of trouble for Tarzan and his family.

As the treasure hunters search for the lost city, they end up crossing paths with Tarzan, Jane, and Boy. Tarzan is suspicious of their intentions and tries to keep them away from his family, but he is eventually forced to confront them. In the process, he discovers that one of the treasure hunters is actually Boy's biological father, who had abandoned him as a baby.

As the group continues to search for the lost city, Tarzan and his family are caught up in the middle of a dangerous conflict. They are forced to fight off wild animals, navigate treacherous terrain, and outwit the treasure hunters in order to protect themselves and each other.

Overall, Tarzan Finds A Son is a thrilling adventure film that will appeal to fans of the series, as well as those who enjoy classic Hollywood cinema. The movie features some impressive stunts and action sequences, as well as some touching moments between Tarzan, Jane, and Boy. It also explores themes of family, loyalty, and the importance of protecting the natural world.
