Mrs. Dalton and her beautiful sister, Annette, accompany them. Leighton fears the home in the African jungle will not be sufficient protection against wild beasts and hostile savages and he installs a switchboard in the tree-house. A circle of dynamite mines are planted at vantage points encircling the abode, and they are connected by wires to the switchboard. George and Annette love each other and plight their troth. While at survey work, a leopard springs on George, who has a narrow escape from death. Rose Dalton, alone in the tree-house, is attacked by natives. The chief covets the white woman and climbs the ladder before Rose can remove it. She is afraid to touch the switchboard. Annette, a hundred yards away, clambers into a tree, and with a shot from her trusty rifle she fells the native chief, who stands over the unconscious Rose. Then with keen aim, the bullets from her rifle strike the buttons of the switchboard, explode various mines, dealing death to many of the savages and frightening the others away. When Matt and George arrive on the scene the women fall into the men's arms for their nerves have collapsed after their experiences. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
