His family consists of his wife Edith, and a four-year-old boy. John Moore is his assistant. One day while Tom and Moore are in the jungle they discover the lair of a leopardess, in which two cubs are sleeping. Tom decides to take one of the cubs home to raise as a pet for his boy. When the mother leopard returns from her hunt she discovers that one of her cubs is missing. She follows Tom's trail to the cabin. The mother leopard confronts the frantic mother by the crib in which the baby is sleeping and where the leopard cub is lying. Edith seizes a rifle from the wall, aims it at the leopardess and pulls the trigger, but there is no explosion. With great presence of mind the anguished mother seizes the leopard cub and tosses it to the mother beast, who sniffs it and then seizing it in her mouth trots away contented. Written by
