Plot
George Rockwell (Seitz) is young and adventurous. He meets June (Elliott), a beautiful young girl on the road and decides she will be his wife. But Professor Elliott (Redman), June's father, has him thrown out the door. George does not give up and saves the Professor from his cousin Murdock (Cuny), who was trying to kill him.
On the day of their engagement, George and June are abducted on a plane which takes them to Tibet. Dr. Santro (Semels), Murdoch's accomplice is the culprit. He and his wife Tharen leave the two in the hands of angry Tibetans. The two lovers are locked into a box with only a tiny hole in it through which they can see some food that is out of their reach. As if that wasn't enough suffering, one of the abductor decides to shoot them through the box. George miraculously opens the box with a rock he had picked up before. As he tries to capture two horses, June is taken away in the desert by a Tibetan. George follows the traces left by his horse and rescues June in time.
