- DirectorColin CampbellStarsTom SantschiBessie EytonFrank ClarkWamba, a half-breed woman, and her Portuguese husband, Pete, live near a jungle in British East Africa. One day Wamba's child falls sick and she asks her inebriated husband to get Dr. Rice, the surgeon at the British Trading Post, some miles distant. Pete turns a deaf ear to his wife's pleadings and finally when he is in a drunken stupor the sympathetic mother love of Wamba asserts itself and she deserts him. She reaches the doctor's home where she is kindly received, and after hearing of the brutality inflicted upon her by her husband. Dr. and Mrs. Rice decide to protect her by retaining her in their household. The doctor is unable to save Wamba's child and it passes away. Pete, in the meantime, discovers that his wife and child have disappeared and tracks them through the jungle to the doctor's home. He attempts to drag Wamba away, but the doctor intercedes, thus incurring the everlasting enmity of the treacherous drunkard. Pete leaves the house, vowing vengeance, but lingers in its vicinity and one day when Dr. and Mrs. Rice visit a neighboring settlement he crawls behind the unsuspecting Wamba, hits her on the head, knocking her unconscious, and abducts the doctor's child, Lillian. But the little girl manages to escape through the jungles, followed closely by Pete. After escaping many tortuous deaths by the ferocious lions, she arrives at the edge of a high precipice. She turns and sees Pete close behind with a lion following him. The next moment she throws herself over the precipice into the waters below and swims to the other shore. Pete follows, but instead of swimming to the other side, hides himself under an overhanging rock. Meanwhile Wamba has regained consciousness and takes the trail of the missing Lillian, whom she finds about to take refuge in a hollow log from the carnivorous lions. Wamba seizes her rifle and begins shooting and soon the little girl is clutched to, the bosom of the mulatto woman. The Rices return, and discovering that their daughter and Wamba are missing, form a posse and start in pursuit, Lillian and Wamba are found and the posse then takes the trail to Pete's shack, where they find all that remains of him after a conflict with the lions.

- DirectorE.A. MartinStarsEdwin WallockMarion WarnerWilliam StowellMatt Dalton, a civil engineer, and his assistant, George Leighton, engage in Government survey work in Africa. Mrs. Dalton and her beautiful sister, Annette, accompany them. Leighton fears the home in the African jungle will not be sufficient protection against wild beasts and hostile savages and he installs a switchboard in the tree-house. A circle of dynamite mines are planted at vantage points encircling the abode, and they are connected by wires to the switchboard. George and Annette love each other and plight their troth. While at survey work, a leopard springs on George, who has a narrow escape from death. Rose Dalton, alone in the tree-house, is attacked by natives. The chief covets the white woman and climbs the ladder before Rose can remove it. She is afraid to touch the switchboard. Annette, a hundred yards away, clambers into a tree, and with a shot from her trusty rifle she fells the native chief, who stands over the unconscious Rose. Then with keen aim, the bullets from her rifle strike the buttons of the switchboard, explode various mines, dealing death to many of the savages and frightening the others away. When Matt and George arrive on the scene the women fall into the men's arms for their nerves have collapsed after their experiences.
