Bunks, the unfortunate hero and would-be Teddy Roosevelt, is shown to be a fraud as a "great hunter" after it's found out that he faked a photograph showing him triumphantly having killed a lion. So Bunks decides to go abroad to pursue a real lion, but there he finds lions pursuing him instead. A native princess saves Bunks from a lion's clutches, but the princess then pursues Bunks home to America with a captive lion and releases the lion at Bunks' welcome-home party. The party guests take refuge on the roof and Bunks has to make amends to avoid a disaster.
