Wealthy British gentleman big game-hunter Otto Abbot hires American Harry Stanton to help catch for the Berlin zoo two tigers and a freakishly-rare 'enchantress' (natural tiger-panther-crossbreed) in colonial Malaysia. Chief boy Talib and his team perform excellently and Harry comes to terms with the native Sakai jungle tribe chief. Otto's mistress Anna does a better job at seducing Harry then Talib's wife to customarily 'entertain at night'. So the men are at murderous terms even before they deliver the feline catch, which triggers the dramatic finale.—KGF Vissers

They are also tasked with capturing a very special cat known as the Enchantress, a cross between a tiger and a leopard. Accompanying them is Abbot's mistress, Anna. They fly into the jungles of Malaysia, an area that Abbot knows well having hunted there many times before, but it's Stanton who manages to get the local tribal chief's cooperation. They quickly capture two tigers but the Enchantress proves to be more elusive eventually leading to Stanton saving Abbot from the creature.
