The Loyalty of Jumbo (1914)

Paul Kruser, employed in South Africa, in creating a home in the jungle wilderness, has a faithful elephant, named "Jumbo," who helps him in the handling of the heavy timber. On the fifth birthday of their little daughter, Lillian, he presents her with a miniature log playhouse of his own construction. The little girl plays in her little log cabin, while Paul and the elephant "Jumbo" labor in the forest. Hostile Kaffirs surround the place and begin an attack. Mrs. Kruser seizes the rifles and rushes to the miniature log cabin to protect her little daughter, who is there at play. She puts up a desperate battle from the miniature fortress, and successfully stands off the Kaffirs, until "Jumbo" brings help. The faithful elephant becomes the family pet.
