Plot

In the untamed wilderness of East Africa, the construction of an ambitious railway project grinds to a halt. The workforce is paralyzed by fear as two man-eating lions turn the laborers into their favored prey. Bob Hayward, the project's chief engineer, finds himself thrust into the role of lion hunter. Despite his discontent with his job, fueled by months of separation from his home and wife, and a growing dependence on alcohol, Hayward takes on the daunting task. As the lions continue their relentless assault, their reign of terror escalating with every passing day, Hayward seeks assistance from the local Masai tribesmen. Yet, even their time-honored hunting skills prove ineffective against the savage beasts. The arrival of seasoned hunters and the unexpected appearance of his wife from England only add to the complexity of Hayward's plight. The lions remain elusive, taking down their would-be captors one by one, their roars echoing ominously through the African nights. Hayward's mission becomes an obsession, a test of his courage and resolve. The engineer-turned-hunter must battle his personal demons and overcome his self-doubts. It's up to him to confront the predatory lions, end their reign of terror, and ensure the safety of his crew. The dramatic struggle of man against nature unfolds in this gripping tale of survival, courage, and redemption set against the backdrop of the wild African savannah.
