A squeezing band makes me think something based on Journey to the West.
I saw this on the local ABC/CBS/NBC affiliate in Buffalo NY . Animated feature or an episode of a TV show, late 1950s early '60s, a boy taken prisoner, they put a heated silver band around his head and toss him out in the snow, it cools, shrinks, he screams. I also remember there was a tiger in the story, it was set in the mountains in some Asian country.
I've asked all over, no leads yet. Any help most appreciated.
Thank you!
