Plot

As described in a film magazine reviews, after an unwanted marriage between his son and a circus animal trainer, a grandfather disowns both parents agrees to take in Lorraine, his granddaughter from overseas. Lorraine is a seven-year-old child when she is shipwrecked while in route to the United States and is rescued by Bimi, a gorilla. Bimi takes her to a desert isle where there are a group of lions and an elephant. The animals teach her and protect her. Her grandfather has employed Don Mackey, a crystal gazer, to use his psychic powers to determine where the child is. Don locates her after she has become a grown woman on the island, and the grandfather and he go on an expedition to get her and her gorilla friend. They find her and they head back to San Francisco. During a storm Bimi becomes panic stricken, breaks from a cage where he has been confined and seizes Lorraine to make off with her. Don fears that the animal intends harm to her and shoots Bimi. Lorraine regrets the death of the beast. Don starts to leave from the place but is restrained by Lorraine, who loves him.
