Set in South Africa's diamond fields, the story follows French mining engineer Victor Cyprien as he attempts to win the hand of Alice Watkins, daughter of a wealthy landowner.

A desperate chase across the dangerous Veld ensues to recover the stolen treasure. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
