Plot: John Leiber, his wife and Fritzi, their child, are happy in their jungle home. John goes hunting, and Johanna, his wife, goes for water, while Fritzi is left home alone. John, in the jungle, discovers that he has left his cartridge belt at home and has no ammunition. Johanna, discovering the belt, decides to take it to John. John is attacked by a ferocious leopard and endeavors to beat the animal off with his rifle. His wife hears his cries for help and with a revolver aims and fires at the leopard, frightening it away. The leopard, driven from the jungle, approaches John's home. Fritzi sees the animal and bars the door just in time. John and his wife finally arrive home. Johanna, alarmed at John's wounds, goes to the settlement for a doctor, riding an elephant for that purpose. After an exciting experience with another leopard, the wife returns with the physician in time to save her husband's life. Thereafter the elephant is a pet of the Leiber family and is most popular with little Fritzi.—Moving Picture World synopsis
