A restless, wealthy American haunted by an inner voice crying that he wants flies to Africa, lifts a rain goddess's idol for a tribe he stumbles into, and is crowned their king of rain. He comes home lighter, carrying a lion cub.

There was a disturbance in my heart, a voice that spoke there and said, I want, I want, I want!
