Cast
- Frank Merrill as Tarzan. Joe Bonomo was cast as Tarzan but, while filming Perils of the Wild, fractured his left leg and severely injured his sacroiliac joint while performing a stunt. Director Jack Nelson remembered Frank Merill from working with him on an earlier production, either Perils of the Jungle (1927) or The Adventures of Tarzan. Whichever production it was, he felt that Merrill was a natural replacement and the new lead actor started filming the next morning.
- Al Ferguson as Black John, village ruler of Pirates' descendants
- Natalie Kingston as Mary Trevor. There was no Jane in this production. Kingston was cast as the castaway and love interest Mary Trevor.
- Bobby Nelson as Bobby Trevor, Mary's younger brother
- Lorimer Johnston as Lord Greystoke, Tarzan's uncle
