What happens

Johnny Tiger (1966) is a Florida Western film directed by Paul Wendkos, starring Robert Taylor, Chad Everett, and Geraldine Brooks. The Universal Studios film was shot in Central Florida in 1965, with the city of Longwood, Florida substituting for a fictional town in southern Florida adjacent to a Seminole Indian reservation, with additional filming at nearby Sanlando Springs. Indoor scenes were filmed at Shamrock Studios, formerly on Nicolet Ave in Winter Park. Originally titled The Cry of Laughing Owls, the film's title was changed to Johnny Tiger prior to its release. It had its world premiere in Orlando, Florida in 1966. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
