L'action se déroule en Tripolitaine, alors province de l'Empire ottoman, à la veille de la Guerre italo-turque (1911-1912). Dans la cité caravanière de Ksar Karabuli, le fils aîné d'une riche famille, Ismail Temsichet, ne cesse d'encenser l'Europe de laquelle il revient. Le fils cadet demeure, a contrario, attaché aux traditions musulmanes. Au cours de ses traversées à cheval dans le désert, Ismail rencontre deux bergères, Gamra et Mnè. Il s'éprend de la dernière. C'est aussi, à ce moment-là, que l'Italie déclare la guerre à la Turquie afin de conquérir la Tripolitaine. La cavalerie turque surgit et réquisitionne préventivement troupeaux et armes appartenant aux tribus. Effrayées, les deux jeunes femmes s'enfuient à travers les dunes. Gamra, aveugle, est mordue par un serpent et décède ensuite. Mnè, à la recherche de secours, est prise par un soldat turc, tandis que la ville de Ksar Karabuli est saccagée par les militaires ottomans. Averti, Ismail parvient à sauver Mnè et la prend sous sa protection. Il la conduit chez lui et la confie à son vieux serviteur Taleb. Rassim, un puissant voisin, convoite la jeune femme : Ismail déjoue ses ruses et le tue. La guerre éclate : Ismail doit abandonner Mnè pour guider, à son corps défendant, l'armée locale contre les Italiens. Cependant, il est rapidement accusé de traîtrise et les Turcs l'emprisonnent au fort de Kassarmut. Dégradé, Ismail est condamné à mort. N'écoutant que ses sentiments, Mnè, accompagnée de Taleb, entreprend de le sauver. Or, le fort est maintenant sévèrement bombardé par les détachements italiens et, de fait, l'exécution d'Ismail ne peut avoir lieu. Dans le tumulte créé par les affrontements armés, Ismail et Mnè se retrouvent et s'étreignent. Un carton apparaît alors, mentionnant ceci : "Le drapeau italien flotte sur Kassarmut.

A plane flying to Cape Town, carrying a young couple and their baby, crashes in the jungle. Everyone on the plane dies, except for the baby who is rescued by Cheeta, Tarzan's chimpanzee. Tarzan and Jane adopt the child and name him "Boy". Five years later, a search party comes looking for Boy, because he is the heir to a fortune worth millions. Tarzan and Jane claim the child is dead and that Boy is theirs, but Sir Thomas recognizes Boy's eyes. The younger Lancings suggest leaving Boy and taking the inheritance; when Sir Thomas objects, they say they will take him back and, as legal guardians, still control of the inheritance. Sir Thomas says he'll tell Tarzan, but the rest of the party imprison Sir Thomas in a tent and plan to abduct Boy. Tarzan overhears them plotting; he steals their guns and throws them into a deep lake. Jane arrives the next day and learns what has taken place, and admits that Boy is Greystoke. She persuades Tarzan to retrieve the cache of guns, without which the search party can't survive. Tarzan retrieves them but Jane drops the rope so that Tarzan is trapped.
