Movie star Nicholas Dimato comes to the jungle to research his latest role. Jack falls for the star's clam that he is an ace pilot, and lets him fly the plane. After a botched landing, it seems that Roger's father has asked his son and Jane to give in to the arrogant star's every whim. Jane and Roger concede, fearing losing funding for the Foundation. The egotistical actor thinks he is just as able to master the jungle's treacherous challenges as Tarzan is. The self-inflated star even tries to make friends with Numa the lion, and has to be saved by Tarzan. However, the big-headed star then becomes even more arrogant. He soon encounters a dangerous, angry elephant. Cheetah even gets disgusted, and makes a monkey out of Dimato, by stealing the conceited actor's portable phone.
