Now you listen to me, Ironwood. McKinzie pays me to buy big game animals to bring to this island for him to hunt. It's my job. And unlike you, college boy, I like my job. Intend to keep it no matter what. And if you intend to keep your job, don't interfere with my efforts to make this tiger mean.

Role
Alec Frost is McKinzie's right-hand man who ships big game animals to an island owned by McKinzie known as Sportsman's Island for him to hunt for sport.
In the first scene of the film, a tame tiger actor named Sultan is shipped to Sportsman's Island, where he is relentlessly tormented and turned aggressive by Frost. He threatens to fire Ironwood if he interferes with his work and sets Sultan free as he believes that his work was enough to turn him into an aggressive killer.
2 days later, McKinzie arrives at Sportsman's Island, while a runaway rock star named Paul Winters climbs on board to the island. Paul meets Sultan and he becomes his protector as he recognizes him. McKinzie, Frost and Ironwood hear about Paul's disappearance on the radio and head outside for practice targets, while Paul and Sultan sneak over to get some food from their storage room and escape.
While Paul and Sultan are sleeping in the cave, they are awoken by gunshots outside the cave as McKinzie and Frost shoot at the cave to get Sultan out, but Paul holds him back and they leave. Paul and Sultan head back to the storage room for more food, but Sultan alerts the dogs and Ironwood spots them as they escape. Ironwood informs Paul about McKinzie, while McKinzie and Frost are having lunch. The following night, McKinzie orders Frost to bring out the dogs for the hunt.
The next morning, Ironwood warns Paul about the dogs, but he informs them about a mystical island where Sultan will be safe. Frost sets the bloodhounds loose and a chase is ensued. The pair cover their tracks by washing away Sultan's scent near the shoreline and the hunters lose them. However, the pair are still being pursued by the dogs and they escape through McKinzie's cabin, where the dogs wreak havoc inside. The hunters arrive and see the chaos. McKinzie accuses Frost for lying to him about the tiger and decides to go back to the mainland. However, as they drive away, he hears roars from Sultan and he leaps onto their truck, but they shake him off and he flees.
Frost informs McKinzie and they head over to the cave to kill Sultan. Frost thinks it's dangerous for McKinzie to climb up a steep hill, but he ignores him. As he reaches the top, he accidentally drops his rifle and Sultan attacks him, causing him to tumble down the hill. Frost cowers at the sight of Sultan and they carry McKinzie back to the boat. He asks McKinzie if he can accompany him to a hospital, but McKinzie makes up his mind to sell his island and fires him, much to his dismay.
However, he is still determined to hunt down Sultan to get revenge and leads the dogs down the shore, where Paul and Sultan are playing. Paul hears the dogs and notices a fisherman's boat, so they swim their way to the boat. Paul asks the fisherman to help them and he reluctantly agrees. Frost comes across the boat and asks the fisherman if he has seen Sultan, but he dissuades him and he is forced to leave, while Sultan is released on Walkon Island.
It is unknown what happened to Frost afterwards, but he likely gave up his search of Sultan and went back to the mainland, as he is nowhere to be found on Sportsman's Island.
