Plot
[edit]As described in a film magazine review,[4] Paul Bonard's wealthy father is opposed to his son's choice of an artist's career. Two Apaches, the Lion and Lynx, quarrel over the Wildcat, a female member of their Paris gang. The Lynx flees, meets Paul, stuns him, and changes clothes with him. Paul is brought to the Apache den, where he conquers the Lion in a desperate fight. Paul has lost his memory and falls in love with the Wildcat. He paints a picture of her. She discovers his identity, he goes home, submits to an operation, and recovers his memory. Later he seeks out and marries the Wildcat.
