James Otto, the son of a circus owner, goes into the jungle on a lion hunting expedition, and with him go John Davis and his daughter Gene. Gene is betrothed to Jan Kail, a young farmer. Otto is a man of the world and makes love to the girl. Jan and Otto have a fight and Jan writes to Gene that he will not trouble her any more. The party brings a lion out of the forest and when Otto goes away Gene steals from her home and goes with him. On the ship she discovers his real character. She becomes a circus performer, always annoyed with the attention of Otto. A dwarf with the circus hates Otto, and his ill treatment of the lion wins the hatred of the animal. The dwarf cuts the bars of the lion's cage and when Otto and the pretty Gene are struggling one night, breaks out and kills him. The girl pleads for the custody of the lion and is allowed to take him back to South Africa. Here she surprises her lover, who forgives her and takes her back.
