NBC Theatre: Track of the Cat

In a ranch in Nevada complex family dynamics play out against the backdrop of the first big snowstorm of winter.

An enormous panther that possesses almost mythical qualities is killing cattle. A pitiless son and a rigid mother take sides against the eldest son and his alcoholic father. The youngest son all the while tries to lay low -- he has brought the girl he hopes to marry for a visit.

Family squabbles intensify until the two oldest brothers set out in the midst of a violent snowstorm on a dangerous mission to kill the deadly panther.

Featuring: John Dehner, Rona Williams, Noreen Gammill, Lynn Millan, Don Randolph, Lynn Whitney, Stephen Chase, Lee Millar, Ralph Moody
