Kathlyn Williams' father drops dead while they are scouring the jungle for animals to sell to zoos and circuses. Kate carries on. When one of her native bearers dies and all but Tom Mix skedaddle, that's another matter. Fortunately, she and Charles Clary, another big game hunter have exchanged cards, so she sends Mix to fetch him. Will rescue show up before the lions have eaten Kathlyn and her pet leopards?
Wiiliam Selig started building up his zoo as film production expanded; he used them for his own jungle epics and rented them out to other film companies. When he stopped producing film in the late 1910s, he tried to make the zoo a paying proposition, but failed.
Miss Williams' career continued in smaller roles through the sound era. While RESCUED BY A LIONS is a visually pleasing but very silly little film, she offers a great performance in William DeMille's CONRAD IN QUEST OF HIS YOUTH. Meanwhile, if you wish to look at this one, a copy has been posted to the Eye Institute site on Youtube.
