Harry Stanton (Robert Mitchum) is his name, and catching wild cats is his game. The four legged fury kind, not the two long legged kind with curves. He has arrived in Malaysia with wealthy Jack Hawkins and his mistress, Elsa Martinelli (her having already explored Africa with John Wayne in "Hatari") in hopes of catching some rare Bengal tigers as well as a cross breed of tiger and leopard known as "the enchantress".
Hawkins suspects that there is an attraction between Mitchum and Martinelli, but he can't gain any proof since Mitchum is focused on the hunt. Bob is trying to avoid the advances of native girl Cely Carillo, presented to him for sharing with her husband, Sabu, now 40ish, but still ever muscular inch the barely covered elephant boy. Her advances are rather embarrassing as she pesters Mitchum constantly, with her husband's blessing.
An oddball exotic adventure that is certainly cinematic but often unintentionally funny. The German born Stefan Schnabel is cast as a native chief, at odds with Mitchum and Hawkins over their mission. Just as the viewer is thinking that the film is ending, there's another twenty minutes of a new plot involving the escape of the enchantress and Hawkins seeking vengeance. The wild cats used are certainly stunning, but they're far too majestic and free to be put into a zoo.
