It is 1798 and Captain Augustin Robert (Ben Daniels) is fighting in Napoleon's Egyptian Campaign. He is accompanied by the artist and scholar Jean-Michel Venture de Paradis (Michel Piccoli). After a bloody skirmish with Mamaluke warriors, Robert and Venture are separated and the young captain strays into the lair of a wild African leopard. However, rather than killing Robert, the animal leads him to water and he begins to adopt the savage lifestyle of the desert beast.
