Cliff Ballenger is the lion tamer and Joe Larson is the trapeze artist in a circus. The gang goes out drinking. Satan, the man-eating Bengal tiger, escapes. Cliff barely survives a mauling by Satan. Carl Homan dies while saving him. Cliff finds Carl's daughter Laura in dire straits.
There is some good real life lion taming. That's the most impressive aspect especially when the tiger is running around in an unfamiliar location. The stunt double is doing some old style big-cat work. The movie falls flat almost everywhere else. The story isn't that interesting. The old-style circus stuff is worthwhile and there is a big fire scene. This movie has some good stunt work.
