Helen's marriage of convenience to wealthy, Victor (Paul Cavanagh) affords her the luxury of dalliances with many men. The one she eventually settles on as her lover is Paul Boray (John Garfield), a gifted, but impoverished violinist. After a chance meeting at a party where Paul and his close friend, Sid Jeffers (Oscar Levant) are the entertainment, and, where Paul's pride is tested by Helen's vexing insults, Sid instructs Paul to forget her. He is, after all, engaged to the lovely Gina (Joan Chandler) -- more his equal in temperament and texture. However, as is the usual for tragic melodrama, a destructive romance continues to build between Paul and Helen. She introduces him to high society and the prospects of achieving fame beyond his wildest dreams.

A year after the events in Tarzan the Ape Man, Harry Holt (Paul Cavanagh) returns to Africa in search of ivory. Holt ... hopes to lure Jane away from life with Tarzan with a selection of evening gowns, shoes and make-up — the trappings of civilised life. Holt and his sidekick deal with their crisis of masculinity with wisecracks and cigars, while the scarcely clad Tarzan and Jane swing through the trees playing erotically charged games and evading wild animals. Jane narrates their activities with references to English high society rituals — mocking her ‘civilised’ past (and its men), and championing her life with Tarzan in their jungle paradise.
