The Lion Hunter (1914)
Hans Fredericka, a South African Boer, lives in a comfortable house with his daughter, Wilhelmina, a pretty and modest maiden. She is in love with Peter Crosse, a young Boer who lives on an adjoining plantation. Peter, with a party of gay friends, comes to visit Wilhelmina and her father. A letter is received from Lawrence Stanley, a young English hunter, who has visited them before, stating that he will arrive shortly with a hunting party. Wilhelmina is distracted from her love for Peter by the handsome young Englishman, and he gives her as a keepsake a talisman, which she hangs about her neck with a ribbon. Peter becomes jealous and after Lawrence has started for the interior with his hunting party engages a tribe of hostile blacks to pursue and make way with the Englishman. Wilhelmina endeavors to frustrate the plot, gets lost in the jungle and after many privations, is rescued through the fact that a runaway tame elephant found the talisman which she had dropped. The elephant takes the bauble to the camp, whereupon Stanley hastens to the rescue and on the way saves Peter from a prowling lion. All jealousy is then forgiven and forgotten.
