A miniature microfiche with important information for the Allies in WW2 needs to be smuggled out of Europe and Marta Toren (Catherine) slots it into the collar of one of two panthers that are being transported to the UK by Howard Duff (Steve). However, the train that is transporting them is hijacked and the panthers escape into the European mountainous and snowy terrain. Their position is located and a cluster of individuals turn up at a hotel nearby, all with an interest in the story - an artist, a journalist, etc. There must be a spy from the enemy amongst these characters but who is it?
It's not the best quality film and some of the male characters look the same so it can be confusing. The majority of the film seems to be running around after panthers. We have dogs chasing after them and shots of panthers running about and snarling. Then more scenes with dogs running about. It's a bit like a nature documentary at times. We get a tense scene at the film's end when Toren plays out a bluff but that is the only noteworthy part of the film. There is an English journalist amongst the group who will have you cringing or laughing every time he speaks. What plummy nonsense! And you may not guess the bad guys.
Overall, the film was ok to watch in a Sherlock Holmes mystery kind of way but I kept wondering when it was just going to end. I prefer "The Pink Panther" to this panther malarky.
