The endearing story of the lion cub Elsa and her human 'parents' Joy (Virginia McKenna) and George Adamson (Bill Travers). The Adamsons raise young lion cubs to adulthood, and when the time is right Bill takes the two largest to be installed at the zoo in Rotterdam. Elsa remains behind with Joy, but when she is deemed responsible for a stampeding of elephants the Adamson's boss John Kendall (Geoffrey Keen) gives them an ultimatum. The lion has three weeks to either be reintroduced to the wild, or go to a zoo as well. Joy is successful in her attempt to reintroduce Elsa to the wild and reluctantly leaves her, only to return a year later in hopes of reuniting with her in the wild.
