Hale Garrison, a big game hunter returning from safari in Africa, meets Gloria Manner on shipboard and falls in love with her. Influenced by the atmosphere of revelry and gin on the high seas, they undergo a mock marriage ceremony performed by the ship's captain. Gloria is met at the dock by a suitor whom she still plans to marry, but Hale, insisting that he and Gloria are legitimately married, "kidnaps" her. He takes her to a mountain lodge, and her former fiancé hires a thug to kill him. The thug throws Hale into a raging river, from which he is rescued by an Indian guide. The thug is later killed when the car in which he is abducting Gloria crashes near the river. Hale and Gloria are reunited and decide to remain together, having learned to love each other.
