Synopsis
For half a lifetime the poacher and the elephant have been enemies--since the shattering day when the man massacred the young animal's herd, and paid for his crime with his own blood. Now the poacher is about to wreak his revenge at last; he'll slaughter the mighty elephant that maimed him. As man and beast move toward a final, terrible encounter, only one person can prevent a tragedy: the young girl who loves the elephant more than her own life.
