Whenever Gladys spurns the villain's advances, he places Gladys in deadly peril by tying her to railroad tracks, locking her in a cage with ravenous wild beasts and chasing through the trackless African jungle. Our hero, Manly Fellows, manages to rescue the damsel in distress every time, of course, but by the end of the film, he's exhausted by his efforts and decides to settle down and marry the heroine's mother.
