Jaquin falls in love with Anita. Cummings searches for his ward, and finding her with Jaquin, takes her home. Jaquin searches for a runaway monkey and finds the pet with Anita. She discovers that Jaquin is a man of education and culture. Cummings awakens one night and finds wild animals at large in his garden.
