Using his newly bought camera, during a two-week sojourn in Los Angeles,
Andy Warhol shoots his first partially scripted feature--a Warholian take on jungle adventure films loosely inspired by the classic film,
Tarzan the Ape Man (1932). In a series of playful narrative segments, Tarzan, portrayed by
Taylor Mead, meanders through sun-kissed Los Angeles bent on rescuing his beloved mate, Jane, played by underground actress and filmmaker,
Naomi Levine. In the process, bare-chested Tarzan flexes his muscles, lifts weights in Venice Beach, and teaches a young
Dennis Hopper a lesson before finding Jane, the love of his life.
