Note that this was one of the few Tarzan movies where there was no "Jane" at all (Maureen O'Sullivan was an MGM contract player, and the series had switched to RKO!; they explained her absence by saying that she was "visiting relatives in England"!) AND Edgar Rice Burroughs' Tarzan's Desert Mystery, the 1943 Wilhelm Thiele Africa action adventure jungle thriller ("Mightiest of Tarzan thrillers!"; "Based upon the characters created by Edgar Rice Burroughs"; "From a story by Carroll Young") starring Johnny Weissmuller (in the title role as Tarzan), Nancy Kelly, Johnny Sheffield (as Boy), Otto Kruger, Joe Sawyer, Lloyd Corrigan, Robert Lowery, Frank Puglia, Phil Van Zandt and Cheetah (the chimpanzee). Note that this was the second RKO Tarzan, and once again, Maureen O'Sullivan could not be hired, because she was an MGM contract player, and RKO did not want to cast a "new" Jane, so they once again explained her absence by saying that she was away, working as a nurse for the British troops in World War II!
