Synopsis
This film is about a 2-year excursion made by Mr. and Mrs. Martin Johnson across British East Africa to the "lost" Lake Paradise. Accompanied by guides, porters, gunbearers, and more than 100 natives, Mr. and Mrs. Johnson begin the safari in Nairobi, pass Mt. Kenya, and continue through hundreds of miles of jungle and swampland and across deserts and plains. The party encounters many types of wild animals, including some in danger of becoming extinct. It shoots antelope, buffalo, seven lions, four black rhinoceros, and one African elephant, but, according to the press sheet, kills "only when it was necessary." The film climaxes with an elephant hunt in which one beast rushes headlong into the camera to be stopped within 6 feet by a well-placed bullet from Mrs. Johnson's Winchester.
