In this personal documentary film photographed in Kenya by Joy and George Adamson, Mr. Adamson tells how they acquired the lioness, Elsa, how she grew up, her habits, her relationship with humans, their efforts to train her to support herself in her natural habitat, her mating, the birth of her three cubs, her death of a blood disease, and the development of her three cubs. Although theatrical and television movies using human and animal actors have dramatized the story, this is the only story using the Adamsons themselves, Elsa herself, and the apealing relationship between them as it actually a happened.
