Her private zoo consists of many wild beasts she has captured, among them a pair of ferocious leopards that she has not only tamed but trained. Paul, who is in love with Mary, asks for her hand. Mary consents and Paul hastens away to inform his parents of his happiness. Paul is startled by the appearance of strangers who have come into the country for the purpose of capturing and killing wild animals. John Dirke extends his welcome to Mr. Sellsman, the leader of the party, and puts them up at bis home. Sellsman meets Mary and soon learns of her pets. He becomes so interested in what she tells him that he requests to be shown the effects of her training. Paul is jealous of Sellsman. One of Mary's leopards escapes and the party start out to recapture it. The leopard is seen running into a hollow tree. Paul attempts to shoot it, but Mary's father interferes. A net is set about the hole and the party scatter in different directions to await the return of the animal. A huge lion, seeing the party, attempts to capture Mary. She runs away. Jumps astride her horse and dashes for freedom only to be thrown to the ground by a limb of a tree. She is rendered unconscious. Dirke and the hunters, unable to find the leopard, return to the net to discover that a lion has been there and escaped. This greatly worries Paul, who believes the lion has attacked Mary. For a time, the English sportsman is accused by Mary's father with having deserted her when she was in danger from the jaguars and tigers, who pursue her into a deserted cabin, but later Mary relieves him from the charge of cowardice when she is rescued and all ends well.
