The famous, true story of one man against the dreaded killers of the jungle.A man alone following a blood-splattered trial, pitting his cunning and courage against the most perfect killers nature ever invented, the man-eating tigers of India - slashing, tearing, steel-muscled furies. One of them had killed two hundred and thirty-four people in a four-year reign of terror! Another had faced a hundred armed men and carried off its victim unchallenged.Jim Corbett was the only man who had the daring and skill to hunt these man-eaters. He tracked them into their strongholds in the hot, fetid jungles, the grassy plains, and the rock-sloped gorges to fight grim duels that could only end in death!
