Bergen's secretary Roy loves servant Surani, but she is, according to old custom, already promised to another man, namely Nassim, the supreme elephant leader of their master Padam. That is why one day Surani desperately flees into the jungle and falls down a cliff. Roy and Toomai, who have followed her, can't manage to save her. They are dependent on Nassim's support, but Surani rebuffs his help.
