Watch that, Judy.

Hey, watch that trip light.

You too. And don't go wandering off.

Hand me the pliers, huh?

Boy, you know, I would like to count up all the years that I spent on a formal

education to wind up here in the bush changing film on trip cameras.

Oh, surely in one of those fine schools they must have taught you there's no

better way to study animals undetected.

Especially migration patterns.

You're parroting your father again.

At least it beats camping out for hours and days at a stretch.

That's true.

I just can't help feeling like a remote -controlled peeping Tom doing this.

Hey, do you think we got any good pictures?

Oh.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.

This should be a pretty good area.

According to your father, before he set up the animal compound, this was the

favorite haunt of all the poachers.

Okay, you two, it's time to go.

That's something else I'd like to do. Count up the minutes that they've kept

waiting.

Judy, Clint!

Looks like they found the old poacher's pit.

away from there, Clarence.

John, look.

What is it?

There's a baby hyena down there. Do you think he's hurt?

I don't know. I'll get a rope.

Don't worry, boy. We'll get you out of there.

I'm getting excited.

Daddy hurts, so will he be all right?

We'll know more when we see the x -rays. How's he doing? I'll take those.

He's in a state of shock. He's running a pretty high fever.

He's got some internal bleeding.

I was afraid of that.

Well, there's no skull fracture.

Possible concussion, though.

Jack?

We're going to have to operate on the internal injuries. I'll get the tree.

Is that a full tank of oxygen?

But, Daddy, it hurts so.

Yes, I know.

Yes, it is.

Do you want to prepare an anesthetic? Oh, I'll get it. No, no, no. Let Jack do

it. Well, then let me get the instruments.

Honey, just relax. That's Mike's job.

Well, you're going to need some help with the retractor. Well, then give me

help with this.

Look, we have a guest in our house. Honey, why don't you go down and help

huh? Colonel Colby will be all right. He's been here enough times.

Yes, but this is going to take some time.

Please, Dad, let me stay. I was the one who found Willie in the first place. The

best thing you could do... Willie?

That's the name of our patient, Dr. Ari. I've already put it on the fever chart.

Dad, I'll do anything.

Well, the one thing you can do, Dad, is leave this all to us.

Dad! Honey, I'll let you know as soon as it's over. You did a fine job in

getting him out of the poacher's pit, but now run along.

Scoot, scoot, scoot.

First thing tomorrow, we're going to get a work detail and fill every poacher's

pit we can find.

Judy! It's all your fault.

That poor hyena never did a thing to you, and you just... Oh, Judy, how could

you? Get out of my sight, do you hear me? You're a bad girl.

You ought to be ashamed of yourself.

Looks to me like you might have given Judy a bigger dose of punishment than

earned, child. She knows she's a bad girl.

Well, perhaps she acted out of instinctive fear.

Oh, don't you believe it. The truth is, when she was little, a hyena bit her on

her nose, and she's never forgotten it.

Apparently never forgiven.

But somehow or other, that doesn't seem like her, Judy.

Oh,

I wish I was with them.

Poor Willie.

What is that?

Quit that worrying about Willie.

He's going to be all right?

I hope so.

Pour you a nice hot cup of coffee?

Here. Oh, no, thanks.

Make you feel better?

Really, I don't want any.

Heartbeat's a little weaker, Marsh.

Give him another shot of epinephrine.

Here he is, Dad.

Swamp.

Suture.

Well, your dad says you can go over now if you want. Oh, thanks, Jack. How is

he? Can't tell yet.

Hey, whoa!

Where do you think you're going, young lady?

Now, Paula doesn't have any time for either one of us tonight, so you sit

there, okay?

Okay.

How is he, Dad?

Well... We've done everything we can. From now on, it's up to Willie.

How often do you want the dressing changed?

How often do I want the dressing changed?

Well, golly, you kept me out of the operation. You can't keep me from taking

post -operative care.

Okay.

As a doctor, I'd say you're just what I'd order for Willie.

So listen, now, be sure and give him this antibiotic I prepared every four

hours. Okay.

Come on, Clarence, you might as well get some sleep. No sense in you staying up

all night. Yeah.

So, uh...

Be sure and call me now if anything goes wrong, huh? Right.

And try to get some rest, will you?

You're going to make it, Willie.

You've got to make it.

Finished? Yeah, all finished.

You're a four -footed patient?

Well, we'll know more in the morning.

I'm going to spend the rest of this night on my bed.

Oh, I know it's foolish to give advice to a doctor, but you know you could use

little sleep, too.

Well, Paula may need some help. No, I'll be all right out here. You get some

sleep. See you in a minute.

I know it was foolish. Good night.

Good night, Colonel.

Go away, Judy. We don't need you.

Everything's going to be all right, Willie.

Don't worry.

Oh, Judy, come on, come on. Later, later, later. I'm too tired now.

Easy, boy.

Easy.

Well, good morning.

Yeah, I'll take over now, honey.

He's pretty active. I think he's doing all right now.

Yeah, oh, yeah, he seems to come along pretty well.

Well, let's have a listen.

I want you to get some sleep, though, young lady. Oh, Dad, I'm fine, honest. I

took little naps all night long.

Paula,

do you want to get the carriage?

I think we can move him down to the convalescent area.

All right.

Hey,

Jack, can I keep him in my room?

Oh, I suppose so.

He could sleep in Judy's bed.

Oh, he'll like that.

We'll start stuffing him with all sorts of vitamins and minerals and freezing

him. He'll be playing around.

Yeah, I think you're right. Well, let's see if we can get him into that cage,

huh? Right.

Well, you're going to be in good shape here, I think.

All right. Nice little ride.

A nice little ride.

There we go.

Okay.

Nice? Yeah.

You had a hard night, Mike. Better let me drive. I've ridden with you, Gertle.

If you don't mind, I'll drive.

Hey,

that's Willie.

Hey, don't.

Don't tell me that you're ready to discharge your patient already.

Oh, no.

No, he's still in a partial sedation.

We're just taking him down for the deluxe treatment.

By golly, you know, I've never seen a hyena like this before.

And I've bought hundreds of animals in my time.

By the time we get back from Nagoro, this little fellow will be rolling over

fetching sticks.

Mike, are you going into the junction with the colonel?

Doctor, I already need supplies.

You know, I've been thinking, Marsh. I've picked up a lot of animals from my

compound back in Coral Springs, Ohio, but...

By golly, this Willie.

Now, you see, even the mosquitoes are jealous of him.

Come on, will you sell him to me?

Well, uh... Dad, you can't. Oh, Colonel, there are plenty of hyenas between here

and Nagoro.

Yeah, but how many like Willie?

He'll make the trip worth twice the expense.

How about it, Mars? Can we do business?

Well, after all, he is Paula's pet. I'm afraid you'll have to check with her.

Well, Paula?

Colonel... Have a good trip, Colonel. I hope you find a hiatus some day. Oh, no.

Mike, will you help me? Sure.

Well, go on, Willie.

I beat you this time. Come on, get in.

Judy!

Judy, you're going to have to give up your bed. Willie's going to sleep here

tonight.

Now, you can stop that right now.

Willie's here to stay.

Oh, yes, he is. And you'd better get used to it.

Come on, out of the crib. Come on.

All right, let's get this rascal in, huh?

Easy does it.

Here we go.

There he is, snug as a bug in a rug.

Well, I'll let you two work out the accommodations. I've got to get back to

work.

Judy, how can you be that way?

I don't know how Willie's ever going to forgive you for what you did, even if

you didn't mean it.

Yeah, you lied back, boy.

You need your rest.

Judy.

Judy, I can't play with you right now.

Oh, you. When are you going to grow up?

Don't you know I still love you?

Oh, Judy. Come on. Get back up here.

Come back here. Come on.

Willie needs me right now.

Now, you don't want me to go off and leave him, do you?

When are you going to stop being so comical and realize that all this is

fault?

Hey, uh, Madame Lafarge, aren't you writing her a little hard? She deserves

What's this?

This is the first shipment of nice, fresh vitamins hot off the stove,

of your friendly neighborhood naturopath.

That's, uh, cool talk for which doctor?

How often are I supposed to give this to Willie? Every three hours, and the

doctor has another little prescription.

Yes, I know. Injections and changing the dressing. No, ma 'am. This one is for

you. Me?

Yep. Breakfast and a nap.

Doctor's orders.

Well, you know, orange juice and toast sounds mighty good right now. How about

some eggs? And toast?

Uh -huh. Cereal?

How about flapjacks?

With some syrup, butter, and a big bowl of coffee ice cream on the top.

Poor Judy.

Nobody had time for her.

Paula seemed to be giving all her love to Willie.

And Judy began to feel all alone.

abandoned by those she loved most.

Not only abandoned, but replaced.

Her position taken over by the only animal that Judy honestly feared and

A hyena.

It made no difference to Judy that Willie was completely smitten with her.

Now to Judy, Willie represented everything that had gone wrong with her

So Judy made up her mind.

No more special treatment for this rival of hers.

Okay, Willie, time for your breakfast.

Judy!

You come here, young lady.

Did you do this?

Don't believe you.

What about that other bottle? Did you do that, too?

Oh, no, Judy! No, don't do that!

You've been nothing but mean, spiteful, and childish ever since Willie came

here. How could you?

Maybe we could teach you a lesson. Come on, young lady.

That's where you're going to stay, young lady, until you can show me you can get

along with other animals no matter who they are.

News travels fast through our compound.

Especially when it's as earth -shaking as the fact that the unofficially

Queen of the Womero Animal Reserve had been toppled from her throne.

Now, needless to say, this caused considerable comment.

Why, some even had to come and see for themselves.

While there were some who genuinely felt sorry for Judy, there were others who

found a great deal of pleasure in this new turn of events.

But the one who suffered most for poor Judy was Willie.

Judy, that won't work. I know exactly what you're thinking, and you're wrong.

You can't blame poor Willie for what's happened. It was your own fault.

So you're going to be stubborn, are you?

You're going to stay here until there's a marked change in your attitude.

Oh, Judy, what am I going to do with you?

No, you are staying here until I can be sure you can behave yourself.

Well, come on, Willie. It's time for your train.

Come on.

Okay, we're getting a little more oil here. No!

Don't let them get too far. We're oily enough now, I think.

Come on, Stretch.

Push it back the other way.

Yeah. Come on, now, let go, will you? Come on, let go.

He loves you. Well, it's one of those things.

Okay, Jack, you want to take him out now if I can get him loose here?

He gets a good grip.

There, boy.

Jack, walk him this way. Walk him this way.

It's all done?

Yeah. Okay, take him away.

I will sure try.

Good luck. He's heavy.

There we go.

Well, how's my star patient today, huh?

I'd say he's doing fine.

He certainly knows how

to make friends.

Look at him play.

Yeah, he's coming along fine.

But I want to keep up his diet and medication for a while. He looks good to

Oh, yeah, but it'll be a little while before he's fully recovered.

It's all right to go on with his affection training, isn't it? Oh, sure.

Well, it's important to start him when they're young.

He's probably pretty confused with this strange place we run here, so the more

affection you can give him, the better off he'd be.

You know, Paula, right now he needs us, but eventually we're going to have to

turn him out on the reserve.

Yes, I know.

However, in the meantime, you know, I think it would be a good idea to keep

locked up while we're not around to watch him.

Oh, I hate to put him in a cage.

Well, if he can continue to show the progress he's already making... We'll

won't we, Willie?

I have a feeling he's had enough excitement for one day. I'd better get

There, old Princey.

Come on, Will.

Come on, little horse. Say hello.

Come on, little horse. Come on, little horse.

Come on, little horse.

Well, well, well, well, well.

Come on, little horse. Come on, it's time to go home. Come on. Come on. Come

Come on.

Willie, don't worry. They're not going anyplace.

You can come back and play with them any time. Now, come on, boy.

Well, this was getting to be more than Judy could stand.

There had to be some solution to her dilemma.

And there was.

A fairly obvious solution.

Well, of course.

If you can't lick them, join them.

Now, why didn't she think of that herself?

Judy, you didn't think I was going to let you starve, did you?

Are you really sorry?

You know what you did was wrong. All wrong.

You promised not to do it again.

Good. All right, you can come out of your cage.

Come on out.

Just one second, young lady. You come back here. Come on. Give me your food.

I want you to make friends with Willie.

Make friends.

Come on. Come on.

Okay. That was wonderful, Judy.

Well, Judy, maybe we have taught you something.

You know, you can't go around blaming every hyena in Africa for one bite.

Good. Good girl.

Come on, Willie. Let's go.

It's time for your breakfast. Come on.

It was time to take steps to improve matters at Romero.

So, Judy tried to get Clarence to go along with it.

But Clarence had other things on his mind, like resting.

He might not approve, but he would keep his mouth shut.

None of us at the compound knew that Willie and Judy were missing.

We certainly had no idea what Judy was up to.

She was carrying out her plan all alone, taking Willie deeper and deeper into

the bush.

Now Judy could head for home.

certain that Willie could never follow her and find the compound again.

So here he was, in the jungle, where all hyenas belong, and Judy was on her way

back to the compound where she belonged.

And as far as Judy was concerned, the matter was settled.

Yes, he wasn't side -rested. He was, but he's not there anymore.

You just wouldn't go off, would you? You said he still needs us, doesn't he?

Take it easy, honey. He's just probably around the compound somewhere.

To an animal like Willie, Romero can be a pretty exciting place.

Come on, he's probably just sightseeing. We'll have a quick look, huh?

Okay.

Not you, Oscar.

Willie!

Clarence, have you seen Willie?

Dad!

Dad, I've looked everywhere!

Well, now, don't worry. Willie couldn't have wandered too far off by himself.

But he hasn't had a shot for an hour and a half. He still needs medication.

Okay, Simon Legree.

Every last record is copy. Have you seen Willie?

Yeah, I saw Willie, and I'll be the first to admit that you did a good job

shaping up Judy. Judy? What has Judy got to do with this?

Well, they were playing together.

Why? What's wrong?

Oh, Willie's missing.

How long ago did you see them?

Oh, it was maybe an hour. They were loping off down the road.

Judy, I should have known.

Judy!

Academy Award performance and tell me what you've done with him.

Paula, Paula, come on now. You're frightening her.

Frighten her? I'd like a pulverizer.

Judy, come on. Show us where you've left Willie.

Come on.

It's important.

You may be in real trouble.

Come on, hurry up.

Unfortunately,

neither we nor Willie knew just how big that trouble was.

Which way, huh?

Which way?

I think he's more scared than hurt.

Yeah, easy, easy.

He got caught up here.

Get him back to the compound right away and continue his shots.

Sorry, Judy, he got himself snagged.

All right, easy, boy. Come on.

Come on. Come on. Come on. Attaboy. All right. He's on. He's on. Let's go. Let's

go. Come on.

There we go.

Well, the incision didn't open, so he should be back on the road to recovery

no time.

Gee, that sounds great, Dad. Well, Willie, let's go. Now, listen, young

want you to be sure and keep him under lock and key when you're not with him.

I guess you're right, Dad. But tonight, he sleeps with me.

Come on, Willie, let's go.

Come on.

Go away, Judy. Come on. Go away. Go away.

Come on, Judy. I'm trying to read. Go on.

No, thank you, Judy. Not just now.

No, Judy. No, no.

Judy, if you want your own coffee, go get some, hmm?

Ah, you kind of like that, don't you, boy?

You know, you may very well be the person I need on the street to get a

bath.

Judy,

this is Willie's bath, not yours.

Just a second. There we go.

Oh, yeah.

Out you go.

Come on. Out you go.

Good boy. Now hold it.

Now, stay still.

And by the time we're finished, you're going to be the prettiest and the

sweetest smelling hyena in the whole continent.

Let me dry you off a little.

I bet that feels a lot better now that you've got your back page off, doesn't

it?

Well, Judy,

you can't blame him for not trusting you, can you?

Well, you sure do look pretty, Willie.

And what are you laughing at? You know, you're not exactly Miss Africa.

Take a look, funny face.

Do you have a long, aristocratic nose?

Or a fine, silky tail? No.

When it comes to beauty, Willie leaves you in the lower class of animal life.

Now, I want you to stay here until I get back. I want him to see the latest

fashions and show how you do it.

Judy, give me the mirror. Come on, give me the mirror.

And Miss Green Eyes, leave Willie alone.

Stop, wait!

You haven't seen Willie yet.

Honey, I'll have to see Willie when I get back.

And he just called, seems to have a lost baby rhino over there. Oh, baby rhino,

can I come too?

Is Willie in his cage?

Well, you go ahead, child. I'll take care of the penning of our friend

Oh, I really should do it myself. Oh, no, come on. Now, get in. You'll have a

good time. Go ahead.

Okay, come on. All right, Colonel. Meet about an hour. All right.

All

right.

My old short -legged friend.

Come on.

You keep step with the old colonel here. That's it. Come on.

Right here. Right here.

Come on.

Come on. Oh, come on.

What's the matter with you?

That's it. Now, if you don't like this treatment, just remember it was

prescribed for you by Dr. Tracy himself.

And don't forget that. And if you have to complain, do it pianissimo.

See ya.

This was too much for Willie to understand.

He felt neglected, alone.

Judy had turned on him.

Paul had gone away and left him.

Another human had locked him up.

Oops.

Or had he?

What's the matter?

But I locked him in his cage.

Well, we don't have to search the compound this time. We just have to find

and I know exactly where she is.

Paula?

Judy! Give me that!

You're evil, downright evil! You can't let any animal have any attention, can

you? You had to turn him loose! Paula!

Now, don't waste my time with your silly acts, Judy. Now, don't waste our time

by taking it out on Judy.

You're going to be tougher to find. He's stronger than he was in his last

outing. Look, can't I help? My truck's right outside.

Oh, Colonel, I'd give you anything if you can find him.

Anything, Paula?

Colonel, if you can find Willie, you can have him, just as long as he's not out

there alone.

He's as good as home. Okay, let's get started.

out of it. Haven't you done enough?

Okay, we might need you for some tracking.

It didn't take Willie long to find his own way in the bush.

Things certainly were different from what they were in the compound.

Now, Willie was in serious trouble.

He had been with us too long.

He had lost the keen instinct of the bush.

So if we didn't find him, he would starve to death.

That's why we were anxious to make time.

And so was Colonel Colby.

However, if he'd known Judy was a stowaway, maybe he wouldn't have driven

so fast.

He was hurt.

But fortunately, she had enough sense to know she could be easy prey for some of

the animals in the bush.

She had to take cover as best she could.

Actually,

it wasn't too bad a guess.

We were not too far from where Willie prowled.

But in the African bush, you have to do better than not too far away.

Colonel Colby may have seemed comic to us back at the compound, but here in the

bush, he was as jungle -wise as any of us.

Well,

things were beginning to look up for Willie.

He had come across the scent of another hyena.

Unfortunately, the other hyena wasn't too anxious to meet any fellow hyenas.

He was following a scent of his own.

And Judy knew she was in danger.

Big danger.

Hey, Clarence, you go on ahead and see if you can sniff out Willie's trail. Go

on. Dad, wait!

Well, if he sniffs it out, he'll let us know.

We'll head up this way. You know what hyena tracks look like, so keep your

open. But even if we do find tracks, how do we know they belong to Willie?

Well, I doubt if there are many young hyenas wandering around alone.

Yes, Willie had found his own kind, but his own kind wasn't too happy to see

Willie. Judy was one meal the other hyena wanted to keep for himself.

Suddenly it began to dawn on Judy.

Her dreaded rival, Willie, the animal who had aroused all her jealousy, was

risking his own life trying to protect her.

Here is track

Marsh

Good boy.

Good boy.

That's a good boy.

Colonel, you found him.

Hold it, hold it, hold it.

Just want to make sure that he hasn't reverted, that he's still tame.

Well, there's your answer.

Well, here he is, Colonel.

Take him.

While Mary's lost, Coral Springs, Ohio's gained.

I can't take him, Paula.

But you didn't tell me when I made a promise. First of all, you nominated the

wrong culprit when you blamed Judy for letting Willie out. I was a better

candidate. I didn't lock him up too well.

So you prejudged Willie for what one hyena did to you. You won't ever do that

again, now, will you?

Well, young lady, it seems there was someone else who did a little prejudging

there. If I recall, you were absolutely convinced who let Willie out of his

cage.

Well, Judy, I apologize.

Friends?

Good.

No more jealousies, no more green eyes?

Good girl. You promise now?

Oh,

Judy.

Judy, you promised.

Paula, I think what Judy is trying to tell you is that if anyone is going to

make a fuss over Willie, from now on it's going to be Judy.
