Sultan, a gentle Bengal tiger who appears on a popular (but unnamed) television series, is taken to Sportsman's Island by Alec Frost, a disreputable gamekeeper, and tortured in an attempt to make him vicious. Several days later, he is turned loose to be the object of a hunting party led by the island's cruel owner, George McKinzie.

Meanwhile, Paul Winters, a young pop singer on tour near here, becomes tired of his busy schedule and runs off from his mother and manager. He finds himself on Sportsman's Island and befriends Sultan.
