Film Synopsis

In a bar, Roger overhears a conversation which leads him to think that someone is planning to murder a woman named Christina.  He soon discovers that the intended murder victim is not a woman, but a panther which a retired colonel believes is the reincarnation of his former mistress, Christina, who died some time ago in Africa.  When the colonel states his intention to leave his entire fortune to the panther, his natural heir engages the services of a hired killer to dispose of the troublesome big cat.  Things take a complicated turn when an Italian woman named Christina enters the fray...
