A young girl's faith... A town's raw courage... against a frightened tiger on the loose!
A tiger escapes from a circus truck as it passes by a small town, and hides itself in the surrounding woods. This throws the town into a panic and everyone wants the animal killed immediately, except for the daughter of the sheriff. She wants to capture the tiger and put it in a zoo, thereby saving the tiger's life. Her determination starts a nationwide campaign among children to raise the money to buy the tiger from the circus, but first, she, her father and an Indian tiger trainer must find the tiger before the National Guard do, who have orders to kill it on sight.
Fun Fact: Unlike many films featuring an appearance by a tiger, the tiger who starred in in this film was fully grown. Two years later, this same cat made a brief appearance on "Star Trek", in the episode "Shore Leave".
