Plot Summary

At the encouragement of her manager, Kiki Walker, a nightclub performer in New Mexico, takes a leashed leopard into the club as a publicity gimmick. But her rival, angered by the attempt to upstage, scares the animal and it bolts. In the days that follow, people are mauled and the countryside is combed for the loose creature. But Kiki and her manager begin to wonder if the leopard is not actually responsible for the killings. Written by Ken Yousten

Goofs At the nightclub, Kiki is seated at a table with Jerry and Galbraith. As she asks Galbraith why he gave up teaching, a slim dark-haired woman wearing a matching suit and hat walks past their table. The shot cuts to Galbraith saying 'Various reasons', and the woman can be seen behind him (just over his shoulder on the far left of the screen), already seated at a nearby table. See more »

Quotes Charlie How-Come: You don't get the idea, mister. These cops banging those pans, flashing those lights, they're gonna scare that poor cat of mine. Cats are funny, mister. They don't want to hurt you, but if you scare them they go crazy. These cops, they don't know what they're doing.
