[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine review,[4] returning home from Africa, Buck Saxon finds that his sweetheart, Norma Wallace, is married to Ezra Bagley, a wealthy miser.

Escaping, he joins a circus where Bird Taylor, a young woman who loves him, works as a tightrope walker.

An animal trainer is jealous of Buck, and cuts the rope while Bird Taylor is doing her stuff in the air.

Buck spoils this little game by catching Bird expertly as she is hurdling to the floor.

Ezra Bagley tacks down Buck but is finally forced to admit the truth regarding the slaying of his son.
