Synopsis
Michael Conrad (Michael Gough) is a private zookeeper who owns Conrad’s Animal Kingdom. He leads a cult group who literally worship the animals he tends, especially the big cats — a lion, a lioness, a pair of cheetahs, a tiger, and a black panther — as well as a gorilla. Conrad plays organ music to the animals in his living room and uses them to kill anyone who gets in his way. Conrad is married to Edna (Jeanne Cooper) and forces his mute son, Carl (Rod Lauren), to assist him.
