After his examination parents planned a tour in ship in Africa. While he was alone in a boat, it sprang away from the ship and David was lost. There were searches, but of no use. David's boat entered in a narrow creek that ended in falls. It was broken. He however, found a discarded cargo ship, where he could live. There they met the "Knee-men".

At this time the royal family was left with David for safety. That created scope for David to know and love Joana, the beautiful princess. The battle was over. For reason unknown to David, the king seceded all relations with him. In frustration he decided to accept death. He came to the river bank, where he fell sick. Here a Knee-man informed him that the cause of the king's hatred was, the king found Joana 'abnormal'. While he was lying on the river bank, he was noticed by a ship. They came to pick him up. At this moment David felt, he had great responsibility to the princess. What would he do? This is the story of the boy who now stood at the cross-road.
