Lon Chaney hunts the most dangerous game in director Tod Browning’s seamy tale of lust and revenge, co-starring Lupe Velez and Estelle Taylor.
When Tiger Haynes (Chaney) learns his beloved daughter Toyo (Velez) intends to marry Bobby Bailey (Lloyd Hughes), the son of an American circus owner, the Indochina-based animal trapper is skeptical at first, but soon gives his blessing.
But when Bobby joins Tiger for a boat ride down the river, the young man soon falls under the seductive spell of fellow passenger Madame de Sylva (Taylor), Toyo’s estranged mother and Haynes’ vengeful ex-wife.
So when she attempts to even the score by stealing Bobby away from their daughter, Haynes decides to take care of de Sylva by declawing the cougar once and for all.
