Plot

The daughter of a British colonist, Elise Morrison lives with her father and Tusk, an elephant she rescued from the slavery to which he, like all his brethren, was destined. She feels very close to the Indian soul and culture, and even goes so far as to provoke the noble audience who have come to celebrate her return from England (where she had gone to study) by donning Hindu clothing and makeup.
