Later, Parker shows Jane a map he found in a Cairo, Egypt, museum revealing the route taken by an Egyptian expedition 1,000 years ago to a graveyard of ivory near an inland sea. The rope wears thin as each person scales the mountain face, and as the last worker climbs, the rope breaks and the man falls to his death. The next day, Jane announces she is climbing the mountain, too, despite her father's protests. When Tarzan yells again, Parker orders Africa to shame the workers by telling them she is not afraid to continue. The native porters are frightened of Tarzan and do not want to continue, so Parker offers more money. That evening, they hear someone yell and Parker claims it is the legendary Tarzan (Miles O'Keeffe), a gigantic white man who might be half ape.
As they camp for the night, Parker announces Jane must return to base camp in the morning and report on his "remarkable" progress. Later, they reach a mountain of rock that must be scaled. Jane is adamant, so Parker gives her a pistol, and they set off into the jungle. In the morning, Jane learns that her father is searching for the legendary elephant graveyard, and declares she is joining the expedition over Parker's objections. Parker insists he loved them and still carries a photograph of his wife and baby daughter. She hates her father for leaving shortly after her birth and only knows him through newspaper clippings of his adventures. That night, Jane dines with Parker and informs him that her mother recently died, leaving Jane a wealthy heiress. Holt also introduces Jane to her father's mistress, a native woman Parker calls "Africa" (Akushula Selayah).
Harry Holt (John Philip Law), the expedition photographer, is surprised to learn Parker has a daughter and insists Jane take his tent. Parker is stunned when Jane steps off the boat, noting she looks exactly like her mother, Elizabeth. She pays for passage on a small boat, but when drunken sailors break into her cabin, she shoots at them and subsequently sails to Parker's camp on a supply boat.
