"A starving Bengal tiger escapes from a circus trailer travelling through Wales, savages a man to death and makes off into the mist-covered hills. Panic - and publicity - descend on the village of Pentre Ddu [sic]. The Police and the Army grapple with a situation beyond their scope. Cranks rush in where experts fear to tread. The lives of the villagers are revolutionised overnight. Meanwhile the mist continues and the roll of the tiger's victims rises".
