In the jungles of Manipur, a young boy aptly named "Little Shikara" idolizes the hunters in his community: he wants to run with the bison and protect his village. He watches his idol, the godly Warwick Sahib return from his tiger hunt with admiration. Warwick strolls in on his elephant, trailing the tiger's corpse behind him. As he explains to the villagers--with little Shikara listening in--today was not a normal hunt. The tiger's mate, Nahara, was also present. Warwick shot at her but she escaped, the creature's bullet wound creating a ripple effect of pain and anger. Nahara wants revenge. Warwick decides to return and finish the job. His protege, Little Shikara, asks to come too. Nahara has become a man-hunting tiger, attacking anyone in her wake from harmless deer to dignified humans. Warwick hears of this and decides to embark on a hunt with Shikara. The two traverse the creek to find the tigress. Shikara is attacked by Mugger, the crocodile. Warwick battles Mugger with his bare hands and saves the young boy. They both make it out alive yet they get separated. Shikara returns to save his wounded idol. Warwick instructs the boy to kill Nahara with his gun. His shot pierces the tigress and earns him the title of "a legend through all that corner of British India."
