[edit] Synopsis

Tiger Haynes, a wild-animal trapper in Indochina, bears the scars of many a mauling and cares for only one thing in life: his beloved daughter, Toyo. Bobby Bailey, the son of an American circus owner, falls in love with Toyo, and Tiger reluctantly gives them his blessing after Bobby saves the girl from a tiger. Toyo's mother, Madame de Sylva, arrives unexpectedly and uses all her feminine wiles to lure Bobby away from Toyo. Tiger seeks to eliminate her and sets loose a killer gorilla. Toyo begs him to save Madame de Sylva, and Tiger is badly mauled in a futile attempt to do his daughter's bidding. Madame de Sylva is killed, and Tiger lives only long enough to see Bobby and Toyo wed by Father Angelo.
