Jones was first mate aboard, and Paula owed her escape to Bill's hardihood. Their makeshift raft finally drifts to land. Bill assists the exhausted Paula ashore, and the two then start inland. Paula collapses, and Bill makes a temporary camp. Unknown to the castaways, they are on the African shore, and their first night sees them in the midst of a horde of animal prowlers. Bill does his best to drive the marauders off, and morning finds the couple on their way inland. Again Paula collapses, and again Bill makes camp. A month elapses. The castaways are lost in the jungle. Bill persecutes Paula with his attentions. Paula, desperate, steals from the camp and heads into the jungle, where she loses her way. Dirk Vedder is a trapper of wild animals. With his assistants he is on one of his annual "hunts." Tracking a lion, Dirk hears a woman's scream. He hastens forward to find Paula held spellbound in the path of a lioness. Dirk drives off the beast, then hastens to the assistance of Paula, whom he revives, and then takes to the home of his mother, who does her utmost to make the girl comfortable. That night Paula tells her story. The impressionable youth listens, his heart going out to the homeless castaway. Bill Jones, having missed Paula, starts after her. He comes upon Dirk's homestead, his appearance throwing Paula into a panic of fear. Bill's passions get the better of him. and he takes Paula in his arms. A struggle ensues, in the midst of which Dirk appears. The two men fight, and Dirk lashes Bill with a whip. Bill exits, vowing vengeance on both Dirk and Paula. A year elapses. Dirk and Paula have married, and the pair are the parents of a pretty baby. Bill Jones, now a veritable wild man of the jungle, and still smarting with his hate of Dirk, succeeds in stealing the infant from the Vedder home. The child is missed, and Dirk, frantic with worry, rounds up his men and starts forth to scour the jungle. His bear hound picks up the scent, starts off, with the men following him. Bill Jones, hampered by the child, makes but little headway through the jungle. Hard pressed, he abandons the baby. Dirk's dog comes upon the child, picks it up and carries her to Dirk. Forgetting for the moment his desire for revenge, Dirk hurries home with the baby. Jones blunders into a lioness and her cubs and is torn to pieces by the infuriated beast. Dirk, having placed the baby in his wife's arms, takes up the search for Bill Jones, only to come upon the latter's corpse in the den of the lioness.
