Alice Atkins, artist, specializes in wild animal painting. She falls in love with Hortez, an intrepid animal trainer. This is resented by Barker, the proprietor of the menagerie, who falls to attract her admiration. While she is painting in an enclosed arena some lions, the diabolical Barker turns into the arena a hungry and ferocious leopard. The efforts of Alice to defend herself brings Hortez unexpectedly on the scene. He kills the leopard, but one of his shots flying wild, ends the life of the would-be assassin Barker.
