Joe Banks, newyorkese, lavora in una fabbrica di materiali chirurgici ma non è per niente felice. Scopre di avere una malattia mortale e così accetta, pur di passare gli ultimi momenti vitali in mezzo agli agi, di essere la vittima di un sacrificio al dio vulcano dei Waponi Woo. Si innamora della figlia dell'industriale che lo ha convinto all'impresa. Il sacrificio ci sarà, ma anche il lieto fine.
