Jack Daingerfield has been going a fast pace and has lost his entire fortune. His creditors hold a meeting and after a stormy interview he agrees to give them all he has. One of the creditors offers to arrange a marriage between him and a rich girl, Mary Delmar. Jack weakly consents after he has been introduced to the young woman. Lord Lytton, a jealous rival, breaks the romance, and Daingerfield, in despair, accepts a commission from a moving picture company to make a film of lion hunting in Africa. When he reaches the lion country he manages to get several wonderful pictures of the lions, but one of his friends is attacked by a wounded lion, and before they can kill the enraged beast the man is mangled beyond recognition. Jack moves to a safer place to take another film of a lion that is breaking from cover. At this moment he is shot in the back by the two assassins, Lord Lytton and one of his (Jack's) creditors. Bill Tuttle, a bright young American who was the cameraman for the expedition, succeeds in getting the two villains on his film, and when the triumphant hunters return to England the villains are exposed in their true colors by the indisputable evidence.
