In the Midst of African Wilds (1915)
Jan Kraga and his daughter, Meta, receive a call from Kraga's friend, John Morgan. With Morgan comes Sir John Herschell, who is studying African farming. Hans Vedder, a neighboring farmer, loves Meta and is displeased when his love is not returned. It is almost love at first sight with Meta and Sir John, and Hans, seeing the trend of events, is infuriated. Hans goes to Kraga and demands that Meta name a wedding day, and Kraga promises him that she shall do so. Meta refuses her father's demand that she marry Hans, and he orders her from their home. Armed with a small knife, she wanders into the jungle. There she is attacked by a ferocious leopard, and bleeding from many wounds, she escapes death by a miracle. Her father, with Hans, Sir John and others, find her later with a huge elephant with whom she has made friends and which animal is conducting her from the jungle wilds. Kraga shows remorse and the girl is taken to Morgan's home, where, upon her convalescence, she agrees to marry Sir John.
