Rosita is an heiress and her uncle is owner of a large circus. The girl is accustomed to circus life and frequently assists the trainers in their occupation. Rosita makes a strong impression upon Paul and he determines to make her acquaintance. Through a mutual friend Paul and Rosita meet and Paul becomes madly in love with the heiress. She holds him off, however, and tells him that her husband must be a brave man. Paul, to make a good impression, tells that he has often hunted wild beasts and narrates some vivid encounters. To carry out his boasts, he gets a collection of wild animal trophies which he distributes around his rooms. That night Paul has a vivid dream in which the different stuffed animals come to life and he is finally treed by a ferocious tiger and just as the animal starts to devour him, wakes up with a scream. Rosita has a vivid dream the same night and in it Paul proves to be a coward, the girl determines to prove the valor of her admirer. Securing a pet lion cub, she slips the beast into Paul's house and just as Paul starts out the door he comes face to face with it. With a terrified yell he drops hat, coat and cane and takes to his heels. The merry laughter of Rosita and the trainer halts him and he comes back ruefully. Rosita, having found her admirer wanting in bravery, refuses to have anything more to do with him and leaves him with the admonition that "Faint heart never won fair lady."
