George and Ursula eventually fall in love with each other, and they go back to San Francisco for the requisite Fish out of Water plot. George swoops in to save Ursula, and takes care of her while Lyle and a couple of poachers (in search of the mythical "White Ape", which is George) try to find her. An heiress named Ursula Stanhope (Mann) explores the area with her snooty fiance, Lyle ( Thomas Haden Church), who abandons her when a lion attacks them.
