Il bacio della pantera (1982)
A New Orleans la giovanissima e vergine Irena Gallier incontra suo fratello maggiore Paul, un pastore protestante, mai conosciuto prima perché, dopo la morte dei genitori, entrambi addestratori di animali, lei fu mandata in orfanotrofio. La governante di casa Gallier aiuta Irena a stabilirsi nella casa del fratello, ma questi scompare misteriosamente. In un motel, intanto, una prostituta trova al posto di un cliente una pantera, che la sbrana letteralmente. L'animale viene poi catturato dalla polizia e da una squadra di zoologi: Oliver Yates, Alice Perrin e Joe Creigh.
