The Savage Gentleman
The Savage Gentleman (1932) centers on the infant Henry Stone, whose father, betrayed by the child's mother, spirits him away to a tropical island. Assisted by two male companions, the senior Stone raises his son to fear, hate, and above all never to trust, any woman. When Henry, now a young man, returns, Tarzan-like, to civilization, the plot takes a number of fascinating turns.
