Despite his father's terminal illness, Shell follows a compassionate Gidharee to work his exotic plantation along the river with his large hunting dogs, in hopes of attracting Rosalie. All the while, Shell falls for a tender, dainty girl from the city, Joan. The love triangle develops, as Shell leads on the girls, not realizing the trap designed by Gidharee to ensnare his manhood.
