Tarzan's New York Adventure finds Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen O'Sullivan invading civilization's capital of New York in search of Johnny Sheffield who was snatched by some unscrupulous white men. Charles Bickford, Chill Wills, and pilot Paul Kelly invade Tarzan's domain in search of wild animals to trap. But when a curious Johnny Sheffield wants to see their airplane, Bickford captures him thinking he'll be a great attraction at Cy Kendall's circus.
Kelly has a conscience and he and girl friend Virginia Grey try to help Mr.&Mrs. Tarzan get their kid back. Justice stalls a bit at Judge Russell Hicks's courtroom especially after Bickford and Kendall's attorney Charles Lane gives O'Sullivan a rough cross examination. Weissmuller has to use some of his tried and true methods to get his kid back.
This film takes a lot of belief suspension, but it is fast moving and enjoyable. In real life while I don't think any Family Court Judge would entertain Bickford's claim on the kid, I doubt if they would award custody to Weissmuller and O'Sullivan. I see foster care the future of Boy.
