Plot

Hank (Noel Marshall) and his wife Madeleine (Tippi Hedren) live contentedly with their wild animals: four tiger cubs, two elephants and 110 tigers, lions, leopards and cheetahs. All is peace and tranquility until one terrible day when two mercenary game hunters are viciously mauled.

As the lions and tigers fight for supremacy, Hank and his family, terrified of the danger they now face, seek refuge in their ranch house. Their only means of escape is blocked by the now savage pets they once loved...
