Synopsis by Janiss Garza

When he discovers that his wife only married him for his money, Philip Dorset (Albert Roscoe) leaves her and goes to Africa. There he meets up with some circus men and becomes part of their group. They take charge of a young white girl, Joan, whose missionary father has died, and they return to the States. Joan (Shirley Mason) grows up to be a bareback rider, and Dorset takes care of the elephants. Now that Joan has reached adulthood, she finds herself falling in love with Dorset, but because of his unhappy past, he keeps her at bay. Eventually, this causes him to leave the circus, but finally he and Joan resolve things and are reunited.
