While the wedding feast is at its height, Newaka, another warrior and rejected suitor of Olana, is plotting with a Kahuna, a witch doctor, for the abduction of the princess. A sleeping potion is prepared from the awa-root and Olana drinks it, believing that it is ordinary drinking water. When the Princess falls into a deep sleep, the king calls the witch doctor to cure his daughter. However, the sorcerer declares the girl is dead and beyond his help. Chief Polapo, the young husband, is heartbroken. Olana is carried to the royal burying ground, which consists of a spacious cave, and left there for dead. Soon after the mourners have left, however, Newaka and the sorcerer arrive and revive the sleeping girl. Newaka then carries her to a neighboring island, of which King Lopikana has a single daughter named Neola. Neola sympathizes with Olana, but the two girls cannot communicate with each other, as they speak different languages. King Popikana is a bitter enemy of Olana's people, and when the treacherous Newaka offers to lead them through a secret entrance into the realm of King Kula, Lopikana accepts the offer. The hostile forces invade the realm of King Kula and a war of extermination begins. After a long siege of fierce fighting the forces of Lopikana are defeated. Newaka is slain in hand to hand combat with Polapo and King Kula kills Lopikana in battle. In the meantime Olana has made Neola understand the particulars of her abduction. Neola is touched and prepares to send Olana back to her husband and people. While King Kula's subjects are celebrating their victory, Polapo appeals to the gods to return his young wife. The great gods are well disposed toward the lover, and even while he is praying Olana returns. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
