What happens

Jungle Jim is a 1955–56 American TV series based on the Jungle Jim newspaper comic strip. It stars Johnny Weissmuller, who had previously played the character in a series of thirteen theatrically released Jungle Jim feature films, which were produced soon after he retired from the Tarzan film series in 1948 for which he is best remembered. The Jungle Jim TV show premiered on Sept. 26, 1955 and ended its 26-episode run on March 19, 1956. It ran for 26 episodes and was produced by Screen Gems who sold it into syndication.
