Synopsis
Joe Cameron, an American prospecting for diamonds in Africa, is captured by cannibals and attacked by a python. With the help of Corporal Walton of Her Majesty's Royal Mounted Police, though, Joe escapes. Later, when he is falsely accused of a miner's murder, Joe's sole supporter is Dorothy, a young missionary who loves him. Walton meanwhile is sent to capture the fugitive, unaware of the man's identity. He is defeated by Joe, but upon recognizing his benefactor, Joe nurses Walton back to health, prevents him from drinking from a poison pool in his delirium and carries him back to civilization. Finally, Dorothy discovers the body of the real murderer dead by the poison pool and is able to prevent Joe's execution.
