Synopsis
During the great drought on the South African veldt, bitterness erupts between the von Haagen and Townsend families when they quarrel over a cattle spring. Nevertheless, a romance grows between Gretel von Haagan and Ned Townsend, who, to escape their families' opposition, marry and leave for the interior. Three years later, Gretel's father Carl, unable to overcome his feelings of remorse, seeks his daughter out and discovers that he is now a grandfather. He arrives in the interior just as his grandson wanders off into the jungle. After several harrowing incidents, the infant is rescued by an elephant and returned to his home where the families are joyously reconciled.
