A gravely ill American millionaire, Ryk Mannering, is in Africa on a final hunting expedition to track down and shoot a proud male lion, the leader of a pride.

Mannering hires a private doctor to keep him alive, and pays a local hunter to track down the lion. When Mannering ruthlessly kills a lioness with cubs, he infuriates both the hunter and the doctor. But he drives them mercilessly to hunt down the gracious male. In a fit of delirium he kills his quarry ¿¿ and then collapses and dies himself.
