While Boma wails beside his father, Orga, the younger brother, with Mayma, his mate, usurps the throne. Boma makes an appeal but Mayma flirts with the witch doctor, and the decision goes to Orga. Boma is driven from the village with Kata, his consort. Orga does not make a popular ruler, but Mayma jollies the people and they tolerate her. After a storm, Boma and Kata discover a trunk washed ashore, the property of a soubrette. They take it to their hut, and Kata finds that the costumes fit her. They start for the village and on the way fall in with a body of Zulus who have been banished. They think Kata is a goddess until Boma explains. With their support, Boma and Kata take the throne and Orga and his spouse are led off to execution. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
