But he turns his back on her and returns to the jungle. Her father tells her that is where Tarzan belongs; she cries, "not now, he belongs to me." The expedition is then captured by a tribe of aggressive dwarfs. Jane sends Tarzan's chimpanzee friend Cheeta (Jiggs) for help, bringing Tarzan to their rescue. During the rescue, Tarzan and Cheetah fight a huge gorilla. Tarzan summons elephants and they escape from the dwarfs' stronghold, although Jane's father dies from wounds just as they reach the elephant graveyard. Jane decides to stay in the jungle with Tarzan and in the final scene, to the music of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky's Romeo and Juliet, the happy couple appear on a rock, waving goodbye to Harry, and Jane holding Cheeta like a baby.
