Synopsis

Hank (NOEL MARSHALL) is an energetic scientist, living with his wife and daughter (TIPPI HEDREN and MELANIE GRIFFITH) who think they have found paradise in the bush country of East Africa.
Apart from spending the time providing the local inhabitants with medical treatment he has built a fine house in a beautiful setting and filled the surrounding valley with over 150 wild lions, tigers, panthers and an elephant or two. All living together in apparent peace.
Then all in one day, things start to go terribly wrong. Firstly, it is the day teenage sons (JOHN and JERRY MARSHALL) are due to arrive from Chicago. It is the day when the Area Control Committee are to assess the development of his work with the big cats, AND it is the day when Robbie, the pride leader is challenged by the rogue lion Togar for supremacy over the animal colony.
Things go so badly wrong. During the Committee visit, two members, both game hunters, upset two of Hank’s tigers and are mauled. At the same time Robbie and Togar engage in a ferocious encounter and Hank is forced to physically separate them.
The family is terrified and try to hide upstairs. The vicious Togar crashes through the house and is only prevented from harming them by the intervention of Robbie.
The family endure a living nightmares as they endeavor to escape from the house. Whatever they try, boats, motorcycles, they are thwarted by the big cats.
