Synopsis

Zongar, a dedicated athlete and sculptor, loves fellow athlete Helen Thorpe, and although she also loves him, the unscrupulous Richard Sutton wants Helen for himself, and to that end, plots to separate the two. To make things worse, adventuress Wanda Vaughan, who hopes to win Zongar, tells Helen that she is engaged to the athlete, whereupon Helen angrily leaves Zongar to become Richard's fiancée. Through Zongar's persistent attentions to Helen, however, he persuades her to pose for his masterpiece. The evil Richard kills Zongar's father and then abducts Helen from Zongar's studio. Undaunted, Zongar pursues them in a boat and later an airplane, and when the pilot dives at Richard's car, Zongar grabs Helen and pulls her to safety. Richard plunges over a cliff and Wanda is arrested, leaving the two athletes free to continue their romance in peace.
