Filmed on location in Germany and India, The Tiger of Eschnapur presents a two-part spectacle relaying the intricate saga of Harold Berger, an architect who becomes smitten with Seetha, a beautiful temple dancer while on an assignment in mysterious India. Though she returns his love, she is forbidden to leave the palace, and the two must make a daring escape, raising the ire of the Maharaja.
