- A teenage girl lives with two grizzly bears in a cave in the California Sierras and plays with rabbits and birds. When gambler Jim Hamilton and his mistress try to interest wealthy Bob Jordan in purchasing an abandoned mine in the Sierras, Jordan, mistakes the girl clothed in leaves and feathers for an animal, shoots her in the arm. He nurses the girl, who cannot speak, and she repays him with a slave-like devotion. At the mine, Hamilton remembers that fifteen years earlier, Indians attacked his home while he was away and killed his family. The wild girl, really Hamilton's daughter, remembers fleeing from the raid into the woods. Although Hamilton's mistress tries to seduce Jordan, he refuses to buy the mine. Hamilton then tries to rob Jordan at gunpoint, but the girl has buried Jordan's money belt as a prank. Jordan's anger causes her to return to her cave, but later they reconcile, and she returns the belt. After Hamilton's mistress leaves with another man, Hamilton returns to the city, and Jordan starts back with the girl following at his heels.—Pamela Short
- Fifteen years before the picture opens Jim Hamilton had gone with his wife and little three-year-old daughter into the wilds of the west to prospect for a mine. One day while he was away from the cabin, Indians swooped down on it and killed everyone but the little girl, who had been some distance away and who had fled, at the sound of the shooting, into the woods. When Hamilton returned he found his wife dead and his daughter gone. He returned to the cities and became a professional gambler. Hamilton remembers the old worthless mine one day and decides to try and sell it. He induces Bob Jordan, a wealthy young man, to accompany him to the mine with the idea or purchasing it. On the trip, which is made across the country, Jordan shoots at what appears to him to be a young deer. When he finally comes up to the object he finds it to be a strange wild little girl of rare beauty, but she is clothed in leaves of grass and she neither understands a word that is said to her nor can she speak. Jordan nurses the little girl who he has wounded by his shot back to health and she becomes his devoted slave. She is shy and afraid of all other humans, however, and prefers the company of wild animals and birds. When Jordan inspects the old abandoned mine thoroughly he decides it is worthless and refuses to purchase it. Hamilton determines to get possession of the young man's money by robbing him at the point of a gun, but the little wild girl has hidden the money belt of Jordan as a prank and the gambler is frustrated. Jordan, angered by the supposed loss of his money and by the knowledge that he had been picked as victim for an intended swindle, was unusually cross to the little wild girl and she decided to run away to the mountains again. When Jordan discovers she has fled he starts after her and finds her in the bear's cave where he had found her the first day. By treating her kindly, he wins back her confidence and she to show her gratitude to him restores his belt of money. The discomfited gambler returns to his old haunts, poorer than when he started, and Jordan starts back to his home with the little wild girl following at his heels.—Moving Picture World synopsis
