Synopsis

In Africa, Shanna takes on hunters who are cruelly slaughtering elephants for their ivory tusks. A flashback shows how Dr. Shanna O'Hara, environmental specialist for a metropolitan zoo, is horrified that someone has killed many of the zoo animals. This wanton destruction inspires her to quit her job and go to Africa where, as Shanna, the She-Devil, she becomes a protector of wild animals. She brings with her two baby leopards who grow to be her trusty companions and protectors.
