Johnny Tiger (1966) is a Florida Western film directed by Paul Wendkos, starring Robert Taylor, Chad Everett, and Geraldine Brooks.

George Dean (Robert Taylor), a widowed professor shunned by various colleges and universities because of his reputed arrogance, arrives with his three children at a Florida Indian reservation to teach the Seminoles.

Appalled by the dilapidated schoolhouse, he appeals in vain to Dr. Leslie Frost (Geraldine Brooks), the resident public health official.

But Johnny mocks him and bitterly states that he is only a half-breed Seminole whose mother was a white woman and local barmaid.

Risking his life, Dean races into the fire and finds the old chief holding the child protectively in a wet blanket.
