The Master of the Bengals (1915)
Bruce Gordon, a young animal trainer, is sent to India for the purpose of organizing a hunting and trapping expedition. He is made welcome at the Rajah's palace, where he falls in love with the Rajah's daughter, Gaya. A native prince, Rankit Singh, learns of the Englishman's love for his fiancée and conspires to have the trainer killed. The prince informs the Rajah that the real object of the Englishman's visit is to start a revolution among his subjects. Gordon is arrested and condemned to enter a den of man-eating tigers, armed only with a whip. One by one the ferocious beasts are turned loose upon the defenseless man and as each tiger leaps into the den he is made to do the trainer's bidding. Rajah's daughter pleads with her father to spare Gordon's life. Filled with admiration at the trainer's bravery, the Rajah orders him removed to a dungeon. The Rajah is then informed that the prince is plotting against his throne. The prince hears of his danger and escapes the country forever. Later, Gaya becomes Gordon's bride.
