A nightclub entertainer in New Mexico is convinced by her manager to use a leashed leopard as part of the act. Her competitor does not like new addition, for her act will be more entertaining and terrifies the leopard to the point it runs away. Some days pass and people start appearing injured or killed by the leopard and the townspeople start to become frightened since it is loose. Kiki and her manager start to think that maybe the leopard is not the killer but someone else.
