Sabu (Arabian Nights), Wendell Corey (I Walk Alone) and Joanne Page (Casablanca) head the cast of this roaring adventure tale, Man-Eater of Kumaon. In the jungles of northern India, American doctor-turned-hunter John Collins (Corey) shoots at a tiger but manages only to injure it's paw. When his bearer warns him that they must find and kill the tiger before it wreaks havoc, Collins ignores his pleas. Now, with a local village decimated by the titular man-eating tiger, and with the help of a tragedy-stricken couple, Narain (Sabu) and Lali (Page), the doctor gains a new perspective on his fellow man, and hunts for the ultimate prey. Based on the bestselling novel by hunter-naturalist Jim Corbett and rousingly directed by sci-fi/adventure great Byron Haskin (The War of the Worlds, The Naked Jungle, September Storm).
