One Eyed Tiger and the Fall of the Oriental Zoological Co
An 1867 expedition by the Oriental Zoological Company aims to capture and ship elephants, buffaloes, tigers, and other beasts from India. A one eyed tiger, a fraudulent fakir, and mutinous natives trigger a disastrous uprising at a Benaras depot, culminating in a massive fire that destroys the company and its animals. Robbins, an experienced hunter, survives by defending the camp and firing through a door to repel attackers.
