Thank you.

Hi.

Very good, is it, Clarence?

Hey, she's here.

Yeah, I know.

Don't you want to see her?

Come on.

How can anyone get excited over a circus animal that eats their young?

Oh, boy, is she a beauty.

Yeah. She seems to have made the trip pretty well.

When's her litter due, Marsh?

In about two weeks.

Hmm, we'd better get friendly pretty fast, huh? Dr. Harry and I have already

started working on it.

Yeah, on the way back after we made camp where we had a few training sessions,

and she's coming along nicely.

Well, hello, young lady.

You don't feel the same way, huh? Well, I don't have to like every animal we

get. Well, you shouldn't hold what she did in the circus against her now.

No, she just attacked her trainers, nearly killed one of them.

If my dad hadn't taken her, she would have been destroyed.

Want to get the leash? Oh, oh, hey, Mark.

Oh, no, Jack, no chains.

Now, she's had enough of those and prod poles and the circus.

So we'd better use a rope leash.

A leash?

Dad, you're not going to walk her.

Well, she was gentle before she was mistreated. We're not going to snap any

whips at her or have her jump through hoops of fire.

Okay, Mike, here we go.

The trapeze.

Let her out easy here.

Come on up here.

Look at those cars. That's it. All right. See how they mistreated her? Got

Keep your hands away. Keep your hands away. That's it. Easy, easy.

All right. Come on, old girl.

They're going to a new home. Things are going to be a little different now.

There we go.

There we go. Come on, old girl. Here we go.

All right. Easy, girl.

Yeah, this is your new home. Take a look around.

I don't think she'll trust anybody that much.

She's like a lot of trouble to me.

Well, how do they do it, Mike?

Let's see if you can start making this look a little more natural.

Thank you.

Anything I can do to help?

No, no thing.

How do you like our maternity room?

That little hollow?

Well, with any luck, our black leopard will have her litter right in there.

Doctor, why don't we give her a name?

Sure, what do you have in mind?

Well, how about Sheba?

Sheba? Yeah, why not?

Since we're giving her the royal treatment, we might as well go all the

But she's been in the circus all of her life, kept in a cage.

This is going to be completely new to her. It'll be like living in the bush,

Dad. Well, it's a whole idea.

I hope that these surroundings will bring back her natural instincts.

Well, in the circus, she was nervous and scared, and under those conditions, you

can understand why she might beat her young or attack her trainer.

I don't know.

You sure you don't need me?

Well, yes, as a matter of fact.

We've been working hard and could use a little lunch.

All right, I'll make it.

Sheba.

Ow, yourself.

I think you can frighten me, you're right.

No, Judy, don't eat it. Put the red peg in the red hole.

Come on,

Judy.

Come on, use your hand.

That's a girl.

Hi, what are you doing?

Testing Judy on color perception.

Well, can I help?

Look, I'm trying to do this under laboratory conditions.

It means I've got to be alone with the subject, so vamos.

I'm just watching.

But there's got to be something else you can do.

Come on, Judy.

How about lunch?

Fine, good. It's yellow, Judy, yellow.

Hadley!

Hello, Paula, Jack. Hi, Hadley.

I just dropped by to see how your painting's coming along for the art

You haven't got much time, you know.

Well, it's almost finished. Ah, so it is.

I may be only a Sunday afternoon

painter, my dear, but... I think the composition's splendid.

Really splendid.

Middle ground lacks perspective, perhaps, but I don't think that matters.

Middle ground?

Yes. May I show you? Yes. This section.

There.

Now, shall we take a look at the real thing?

Now, do you notice how the shadows foreshorten the tree?

You see what I mean? Now, in your picture, those shadows are rather

which sort of gives the picture a rather elongated position, which I think is a

pity, because otherwise it's so excellent.

You see what I mean? Yes.

I do think it would be wiser for her to start another old man.

Paula, I happen to have a book on perspective in my car. Let me loan it to

Thank you. I can certainly use it.

Oh, if you want that, you'd better fix it yourself because I'm going to be too

busy painting.

color perception experiments.

Oh, now, wait a minute. I didn't give her those paints.

Judy, go get the hose and wash off Clarence.

You know, I'd rather think her middle ground lacks perspective, don't you?

Very funny.

Jack!

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Hello, Sheba.

How about coming over and saying hello, huh?

You'll find my bedside manner isn't too bad once you get to know me. Come on

over here. Come on over to me.

Well, that's a little better.

We've got to get to know each other.

He seems in a pretty good mood.

I think he can come on in now. Just take it slow and easy.

How about coming on in?

We're coming on in. Yes, indeed.

Yes, indeed.

Come on out here and lie down. Let us take a look at you. Huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it. I want to stroke her, get her used to our scent.

When it comes time for delivery, you'll know it well.

I want the red and green paint you took from my box. Now go out and find them.

Judy!

Hold your hand and let her get a little smell, huh?

That a girl.

Get your scent?

That a girl?

Yeah.

Come on, come on, come on.

Yeah, I think she's going to be all right.

Okay.

I would say she almost trusts us now.

Almost.

Judy.

Oh, you little dickens, you.

Don't think you can hide from me.

Judy.

find you, Judy.

Sorry, Mark. We had to use him to save Judy. Yeah, I understand.

You're right.

Judy, go away. I have a model.

Judy, I don't have time.

Painting has to be finished by tomorrow.

Now look what you've done. Go take Clarence and play some other place.

Judy? Well, that's looking pretty good.

Yeah? Well, is she behaving herself?

Just fine.

Well, I think you're sitting out here talking to her. Sort of, just sort of

pacifies her.

Well, come on, Sheba. It's moving day. Well, can't you stay here for a while? I

have two more hours of work left.

No, it's the best time right now to move her.

Cheer up. You can work on it through one of the observation ports in the

enclosure.

Okay,

come on. Move it over, girl.

Be careful.

Oh, I think she trusts us, all right.

It was just the poles that upset her.

Well, come on, old girl.

Your royal quarters await.

Here you go. Easy does it.

Okay, girl. Come on. Come on.

You know, I think you two ought to make friends. Come on.

Dad. Oh, come on, Paula.

Sitting outside her cage ever since she got here.

Don't you think it's time maybe you got over this thing you've got against her

and got to know her?

Come on.

Oh, she's only been mistreated by men.

Chances are she likes women better.

There, see?

You know, I think she'd rather go with you.

Come on, let's go.

Starting next week, we'll have to watch her pretty closely.

She's killed two litters already, and we don't want this one to be the third.

Well, Judy, I think you're a natural -born painter.

A little primitive, but talented.

Is this some kind of a joke?

This is not some kind of a joke.

It's part of my color perception experiment.

Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you... Judy, are you a mess?

Come on, kid. We'll wipe off your fingers a little bit, huh?

Maybe one of these days, Judy, I'll teach you how to use a brush. Oh, boy.

Dad, there's an art academy in Nagoro.

Could I go there for a month or two?

You really don't need me here.

Oh, yes, if that's really what you wanted.

I think it is.

Thanks, Dad.

Oh, what's the matter, Judy?

Well, you're out of red.

Well.

Well, now, let's see if you can tell the difference.

Hey, Judy, is that how you tell by tasting?

You know, Jack put you here so I could watch what you do.

Now, let's show him that you can tell a difference by looking.

Okay, which one is red?

Right. Good girl. Okay.

Okay, Judy, there you go.

What is it, Judy?

If Clarice doesn't want to pose for you, you're going to have to do without him.

Easy. Easy.

Everything's going to be all right. Easy.

Well,

it looks as if you've made a friend.

She was more frightened than I was.

Well, it's a good thing you were here.

Excellent, my dear.

Excellent. Thank you, Hadley.

How do you think it compares with the other exhibits?

First -rate marsh.

Of course, I've got nothing to do with the actual judging, but I bet it stands

good chance of winning.

Henry, please be very careful with it.

Don't worry, my dear. I've a rack in the car to protect all the paintings.

Finally, how about something cold, huh?

Yes, I was wondering when you'd ask.

Thank you.

Thank you.

She was gone.

Gone? How?

The cage was open.

Marsh, we've got to find her. She can't forage for herself. She'll starve.

You're conditioned if she's frightened, Dad.

Jack,

you and Mike search the cage along the south ridge. I'll check around the

enclosure. Right. Should I go with you? No, stay here in case Sheba wanders

back. I'll search along the ridge in the corner. All right, thanks.

Jack, Mike, you read me, over.

Jack, Mike, you read me.

Loud and clear, Marsh.

Just got to the cave area, no sign of her yet. No sign of her around the

enclosure either.

I'm heading for the south ridge.

Okay, we'll work toward you. Listen, Jack, I don't have much in the way of

medical supplies, so don't get too far away from your radio, all right?

Roger. Out.

Well, we're not doing any good here, Clarence.

See if you can pick up Sheba's scent and we'll join the search party.

Let's go.

Come on.

Judy, this is leopard country. I want you to stay close to Clarence for

protection. Now, come on.

Come on, Judy.

It looks as if Clarence has picked up Sheba's scent.

Well, well, well.

Oh boy, it's a shame.

Marsh really wanted to save that litter.

All the more reason why we've got to find her.

Let's go.

Sheba!

Stay here, Clarence. This is close enough.

Sheba.

Easy, girl.

Easy.

Easy.

Good girl.

What's the matter, Sheba?

Oh, I know what's bothering you. It's that chain on clearance.

I'll take care of that right away.

Judy, quit that. You're upsetting Sheba.

Easy. Everything will be all right.

You're not going to have your cubs now.

Sheba.

Parents, can you do something?

All right, Sheba.

Clarence chased him away.

Sheba, try and let me help you.

Judy, we need some water.

The creek is right past those trees over there. Go get some.

I don't know what with.

At least get this wet.

Gina, I know your time is near. Take it easy.

I wish Dad was here.

I don't know whether to send Clarence for him or keep him here in case that

leopard comes back.

Marsh, Jack, we just tried Paula a couple of minutes ago. She's obviously

the house.

Any luck?

No, I'm going to take a swing around the road and then head back to the

compound. Keep looking.

Will do.

Clarence, go get Dad.

Go find him.

Hurry, Clarence.

Judy, you're a genius.

Here, Sheba.

Come on, take a little drink.

Come on, Sheba.

Come on, you have to drink something.

Shiva, let me help you. I'm the only one who can.

Shiva, I know what to do.

I've watched Dad in the clinic. I know exactly what to do.

And I hope.

Judy, I don't think Dad's going to get here in time to deliver these cubs.

So go to the house and get the small bag.

The small bag.

The medical kit. Right, Judy. Okay, hurry.

Judy, get Paula and bring her to the radio.

Judy, do you understand? Get Paula to the radio.

Will you stop that noise and do as I say?

Judy, listen to me.

I want you to get Paula to the radio.

Judy?

Judy, where are you?

Easy, girl.

You're right, Sheba.

It's probably Judy coming back.

Relax, Sheba. Just relax. You've got to.

Judy.

Judy, you're wonderful.

I'll never be angry with you again.

All right, Sheba, we're ready for you. This won't hurt a bit.

Judy, let's hope Clarence found Dad.

Clarence, what are you doing here?

Clarence, what... You want me to

follow you?

All right, boy.

Jack.

Jack, come in. This is Marsh. Come in.

Yes, Marsh.

Listen, I just run into Clarence. He seems to want me to follow him.

So I'm heading off the road toward the creek. How far are you on the other

Uh, just a couple of minutes. We'll cut in from here.

Right.

Judy, you have to decoy him.

Don't move.

Come on, Judy. We've got to get back to Sheba.

She might have given birth to some cubs.

Oh, I hope she doesn't hurt them.

Let's go.

Good work, young lady.

Oh, so he does.

I guess this is a big moment.

Excited?

Oh, not particularly.

You haven't given up your idea of going to the academy, have you?

Dad, I couldn't leave Romero, not even for a month.

Look at that little fellow, the way he's grown up in the last two weeks.

I've got to stay here and take care of him.

Hiya, Hadley.

Is that the winning painting?

Uh, yes, it is.

Congratulations.

I'm afraid not.

Matter of fact, we don't know the artist's identity.

I've been everywhere trying to find out who it is.

Perhaps you can help.

That won the competition?

I'm afraid the judges were rather inclined toward the avant -garde.

I'm afraid I don't understand.

What's the joke?

Well, you're not going to believe this, Mark, but that's your prize -winning

artist right over there.

Bye.
