The Devil Cat

The Clyde Beatty Show! World's greatest wild animal trainer Clyde Beatty with an exciting adventure from his brilliant career. The circus means thrills, excitement, snarling jungle beasts. The circus means fun for young folks and old, but under the big top you see only a part of the story.

The real drama comes behind the scenes where 500 people live as one family, where Clyde Beatty constantly risks death in the most dangerous act on earth. Master of the big cats has journey to Africa and India, hunting down his beast in their native jungle.

All of this is part of the Clyde Beatty story. Here in Mr. Beatty's own words is the adventure he calls the Devil Cats. The leopard is a ferocious bloodthirsty and cunning beast. The one delivered to my circus winter quarters in Florida was no exception.

She had all those characteristics and more from snarling jaws to incessantly twitching tails she was inky black and over seven feet long. A jungle bred killer she was 400 pounds of clawing murder. My name for her was Nubia, but the natives in the Sumatran jungle she'd roamed called her by another, translated it was Devil Cat.

Two days after she arrived I learned this name suited her perfectly. The Devil Cat. He returned to Clyde Beatty in just a moment. And now, back to Clyde Beatty's experiences with the devil cat. I guess every wild animal trainer has nightmares.

I do. Mine's a recurring one and it always begins with a spine-chilling cry. Hello! Hello! In my dream I see defenseless men, women and children attacked by jungle beasts. Hello! Mr. Beatty! Mr. Beatty the big cat that's like it.
