The Leopard Man

In a New Mexico border town, nightclub promoter Jerry Manning hires a black leopard as a publicity stunt for his girlfriend Kiki Walker, a performer there. Angered by Kiki's rival Clo-Clo, the leopard escapes, fleeing into the night. As a series of murders occurs, with Teresa and Consuelo among the victims, Jerry seeks answers, but local historian Dr. Galbraith suggests he may be responsible for the killings. After a tense confrontation at the annual procession, Galbraith is eventually unmasked as the killer, confessing to the murders in which Clo-Clo and another woman were also killed, after being inspired by the leopard's attack on Teresa.
