Bye.

Well, this is it.

Major's home territory.

Does he really have to come back here?

Oh, don't worry about him. There's water right nearby, and I'm going to bring

him food every day.

But, Jack... No, I know exactly what you're going to say. He's the famous

we've ever had at the compound next to Clarence. He has become Judy's great and

good friend.

He's still got to go.

Watch out for the wild animals, Major.

Don't you think you and Mike are pushing the panic button?

Why do we have to get so many of the recuperation animals back in the bush?

Well, that college buddy of Mike's is due in today, and according to Mike, we

shouldn't have any healthy animals around the compound.

Apparently, this guy will understand our taking care of sick animals, but if he

sees any of our wild experiments, he'd really be against us.

Well, what about our interspecies experiments?

That would even be worse.

If he ever saw us mixing dogs and gorillas and elephants and

tigers and lions, well,

he'd really think we'd flipped.

Matter of fact, I spent most of the morning moving all of our more far -out

experiments to locations where our VIP guests will never be able to find them.

Oh, some journalist read a story about our compound.

Well, Robert Oneko is not just some journalist. He's the leading writer in

Africa today and very, very well respected.

And he doesn't like animals.

Apparently, he likes people better than animals.

But according to Mike, back in college, he was a very nice guy and a wonderful

sense of humor.

Well, as long as he's a friend of Mike's, I suppose there's nothing we

worry about.

Should we go and greet him?

Nope. I think this is something we should let Mike and Marge handle alone.

Okay. Okay.

Jumbo miserifiki.

How are you,

Robert? This is my good friend and colleague, Dr. Tracy.

It is a great pleasure to meet you, Doctor. It's my pleasure, Mr. Onego.

Mr. Onego, do you want your bag inside?

Just one moment, Officer Hadley.

Perhaps that won't be necessary.

But you'll be staying a few days, at least.

That depends upon Doctor.

I want to see his my approach.

He might want to feed me to that fierce -looking lion over there.

Come on now, Robert. What's the joke? No joke, Mike.

But, Doctor, you must understand that as a journalist, I have to have an

approach, an angle.

Otherwise, the story is not worth writing.

Yes, of course.

That's why we're prepared to be of whatever help we can.

Inogoro, I read all your reports to the governor.

I was greatly impressed.

Thank you.

Robert, I'm afraid I've already given Doctor an idea of your attitude.

Believe me, Mike, I have nothing but the highest regards for Doctor's

accomplishments in the past.

Has he taught you much here?

Oh, yes, certainly.

I've learned a great deal from Dr. Harry about experimental work with animals.

I am delighted to hear that, Mike.

Dr. Harry, may I congratulate you on the fine training you have given to Mike.

Well, thank you again, Mr. Nagle.

I must confess we are under the impression that you might oppose our

On the contrary.

I want to see it grow.

But I think it can only do so under a younger man.

Well, a man who knows our country and its problems.

A man like my friend, Mike McCullough.

Would you like some cream and sugar? Oh, please.

Judy, Toto?

Oh, thank you, Judy.

Thank you, Toto.

Clever little rascals, aren't they?

Oh, Doctor, you've worked wonders with these little animals.

It must take infinite patience.

Well, thank you, Mr. Reneco. I must confess, at times it does.

However... I think that loving, tender care for animals should wait a while.

At least until we've made a better life for humans here.

Come on, you two, let's go.

Come on, Turner.

Mr. Neko, Daktari is the chief source of medical aid to the natives in all the

nearby villages.

Oh, that is the job of the district health officer.

The government grants this land in a generous stipend every year, especially

research work.

Dr. Toddy is a scientist, not a medical missionary.

Mr. Neko, after you finish your coffee, maybe you'd like to join me in the

clinic and let me show you some of our experimental work.

I would be delighted.

But believe me, Dr. Toddy, I have an open mind.

Well, I have to get back to headquarters.

Don't let me keep you.

I've decided to stay over.

Cheerio, then.

You will say goodbye to Jack and Mike for me, will you? Yes, I certainly

old chap.

Thank you.

Crying out loud, won't this guy listen to reason?

When a young man is as dedicated as Robert, he listens to only one voice.

His own.

Well, maybe he'll take a look at this.

Then I'll have to stop and think for a minute.

Go on, Vinnie. Get over there in the chair.

Well, this is our workshop, Mr. Oneko.

Clinic, laboratory, research headquarters, all in one.

And a movie theater.

Occasionally.

I asked the fellows to put together some film that was on a project we were

studying.

We feel it could be of great benefit for the entire continent.

Would you mind sitting down? We'll run it for you. Thank you, Doc Toddy.

Jack, can I get the door?

All right.

All righty.

Well, as you mentioned, here as elsewhere in the world, food is the

problem.

Now, many of our tribesmen herd cattle, but there's a shortage of good grazing

land. Consequently, the cattle areas are continually being overgrazed, and this

leads to soil erosion.

So when a drought comes, the cattle die, and many parts of Africa literally

become dust bowls.

However, so -called game animals like the eland, the impala,

These animals are indigenous to Africa. They don't damage the land because they

rotate instinctively.

In other words, these animals for centuries have maintained the balance of

nature, the law of supply and demand.

Consequently, they are a source of potential meat, good meat, that they are

confined like cattle.

As you know, there is a great deal of experimentation in game ranching,

capturing and breeding wild animals.

However, the big problem is East Coast fever.

That's a disease carried by ticks.

Wild animals like these are immune.

But cattle from the large ranches and from the native tribes are not immune.

They are in constant danger of being infected by the wild animals.

Naturally, you can't fence in all of Africa, so the disease must be

One of our major priorities now is to find a cure for East Coast fever.

Well, have you succeeded?

No. No, we've been trying to isolate the virus that causes the disease, but

there's only three of us.

Maybe you could write about our need for a larger staff.

Mr. Dane, can you estimate the overall cost of such a project?

Well, Mr.

Onako, did anybody ask Jonas Salk the cost of curing polio?

Doctor, why can't your work be done by the university at Nagoro?

They have larger facilities, larger staffs.

Because we are in the field with the animals and close to the villages.

But you have not found the cure for the disease.

No, it may be like the hoof and mouth disease, for which no cure has been

so far either.

Perhaps it would be wiser to eliminate all the wild game in your reserve.

Allow hunters to come in and destroy the animals without limit.

Well, that would provide food for the hungry.

and prevent the disease from spreading to healthy cattle.

Can't be serious.

Oh, I can assure you, Doctor. When it comes to animals, I am not... How do

American journalists phrase it?

A bleeding heart.

I want to see this country grow strong and its people healthy.

And if wild animals have to be sacrificed and become extinct like the

I guess we have no choice.

barbaric attitude.

Why?

Because I refuse to be a sentimentalist.

My friend, I'm on the side of progress.

Are you?

Now, honestly, what have you accomplished here with your animals?

Well,

here's an example right here, Mr. Aneko.

We're using our little Judy and...

All the other chimps for experiments under contract to the aerospace program.

Whose aerospace program?

Ours? Well, that doesn't make any difference, Mr. Anako.

Any country's space program is bound to benefit all of mankind. It's going to

open up new horizons, make new discoveries for the entire world. The

I recognize is the one in which I live.

My own.

Isn't that being a bit narrow -minded?

No.

I don't think so.

You see, I love my country.

Now, gentlemen, I'm going to do more than write an article.

I'm going to start an editorial campaign to have you replaced by Mike

McCullough. No, Robert, I want no part of this.

Very well.

There are many young scientists at the university.

or maybe not as talented as you who would be honored to replace the famous

doctor now if you will excuse me

Well, have you got anything ready for us, Jack?

It's about Marsh.

What is the object of this experiment?

Well, it's an attempt to discover whether animals have a sense of property

rights as well as status.

I don't follow you.

Robert, Tartare is trying to determine whether an animal will actually use a

fence to establish territorial boundaries.

You mean the way humans do?

That remains to be seen.

Care to have a look?

Yes.

See, Mr. Aneko?

Judy is already trying to seize the larger portion for herself.

Well, what does that prove beyond the point that Judy is selfish?

Well, perhaps you have over -affection trained her so much that she thinks of

only herself.

A very human trait, wouldn't you say?

Oh, Toddy, you really do believe it.

That animals are like humans.

Yes. Yes, I do.

Well, the idea of boundary rights, property lines, real estate.

Well, people go to court or to war over them, right?

Well, animals seem to have the same sense of property rights as humans.

Except there's one difference.

Humans are more intelligent, which makes them far more capable of being much

cooler.

Thank you.

Now, Toddy, are you going to let Judy get away with that?

Why, look at her.

She's using bribery, deceit, corruption.

All very human, you have to admit.

You're teaching her to be a thief?

Well, Mr. Oneko, we are not teaching. We are observing.

The way Judy is treating Toto right now is merely a manifestation of the status

system within the animal world.

Dr. Hardy, apply all the sociological terms you want.

But from what I can see, Judy is a spoiled brat.

Hey, you two, cut it out.

Mr. Oneko is our guest.

Ah, please, let them protest.

This is a democracy

I'm

sorry Judy if I offended you But I meant nothing personal by it I think you're a

very charming animal shall we shake on it

So

you like our little Judy yeah, why not She's very amusing in her way.

Perhaps now you can see that we are doing some good work here. Yes.

If you were running a school for circus animals, I would say you're doing a

fantastic job.

But as scientists, I feel you've accomplished very little.

Would I be any more honest than that?

No, Mr. Aneko, I'm afraid not.

Okay, that'll do it, sir. Uh -huh.

Okay, feed it.

From now on, keep out of the house. The doors are too narrow.

Hey, fellas, lemonade!

Oh, boy.

Well, where is our honored guest at the moment?

Tanga Village with Dad.

Chief's an old friend, and perhaps he'll be able to convince Mr. Arnaker of the

valuable services we rent over the natives' livestock.

I don't think anything will change Robert's mind.

He's champion debater at the university.

He can twist facts any way he wants to.

Okay, Judy, get a glass.

I'd like to see our great debater out in the bush.

Let him debate with a herd of rogue elephants or a pride of wild lions or...

Wait a minute.

Suppose he was to... No.

Marsh would never approve.

We're thinking along the same lines. We can't do it. It's not right.

Why can't we do it? Nobody's going to get hurt.

Look, Mike, we're fighting for survival.

Okay, you guys, cut out the ESP.

This is not an experiment with Judy.

Dad's future's at stake.

Here, Judy.

Okay, what's up your sleeve?

Suppose Robert were attacked by a fierce lion. He'd be slightly terrified, huh?

Now, at this moment, two of the stalwart members of the Romero staff just happen

to come along and rescue him.

How does a man feel about people who've just saved his life?

Grateful, but that's only human.

Beneath all his intellectual brilliance, Robert is like anybody else.

Guys are ruthless.

You're going to put a man in a position to be attacked by a lion?

Oh, no, no, no, no, not a lion.

Dear, sweet, friendly old Major.

After he has been well fed.

And if he growls, it won't be from hunger, it'll be from indigestion.

He's about as dangerous as Clarence.

Mr. Onako could get hurt. Not a chance. Jack and I would be covering him with

dart rifles.

Oh, no.

Dad will never go for it.

Okay, we'll just, uh...

Sit here and let Marsh be torpedoed by Robert's editorials.

Well, Robert is trying to destroy the career of a very distinguished

And we have to help Marsh whether he likes it or not.

Hey, Judy, where are you going?

I'll tell you where she's going.

She's leaving.

Judy is well aware that because of your uncooperative attitude, we're all going

to be evicted.

Don't worry, Judy. I'll take good care of you.

All right, fellas.

Go ahead with the plans.

And good luck.

Just a moment, young lady. Where do you think you're going?

Well, I thought I'd make some lunch.

The less I know about this conspiracy, the better. Oh, no, no, no.

You're going to know everything.

Because, uh, Mata Hari Tracy, you are one of our prime conspirators.

I gave the chief a bad time.

I told him he was being backward and selfish.

He has no right to call upon Dr. Tari as his personal veterinarian and

physician.

Yes, you were quite explicit.

He said he should consult the district health officer.

Robert, you don't know how overworked he is. There just aren't enough doctors

out in the bush.

Then we will train more.

We must learn to be independent.

Dr. Tari.

I don't mean to be disrespectful, but your presence here encourages the

tribesmen to take unfair advantage of you.

Now look, Robert, all any of us here wants to do is help.

We must learn to stand on our own two feet, the way your nation did when it

younger.

Now, if you will excuse me, I must get to my typewriter.

Dad, what are we going to do?

Well, we have freedom of the press.

I can write a rebuttal, tell our side.

It won't do any good. If Robert launches an editorial attack on you... I know he

has influence, but we've got to try.

Marsh, if there's anything we can do to help... Oh, I know, I know, Jack,

thanks.

Well, I guess I'd better get to my typewriter.

She's packing it up.

She still thinks we're all going to leave.

Here you are, Clarence.

Enjoy yourself.

It's all right, Judy. We'll work something out.

Well, group, I think it's time to put Operation Rescue into its first phase.

Paula, why don't you go up and start working on Robert?

Jack and I will do some work on your Jeep.

All right.

Now, you got the plan straight?

I proceed with Robert to the Yulo Road crossing at Lake Tonto.

I pretend to have an automobile break down. I honk the horn. From there, we

over. Okay, good luck.

Come on, Judy.

Judy, it's over there.

Mr. Aneko, I'm sorry to disturb you.

I'd like to ask you a question.

Yes?

When do you think you'll be leaving?

Tomorrow, I guess.

Why?

Well, I thought there's something you'd like to see. It's the wild birds at Lake

Tano. It's not very far from here.

Is this a project of your father's?

It's a project of Mother Nature.

I beg your pardon?

Well, I thought with your being so proud of your country that you should at

least take the time out to see one of its greatest beauties.

Well, I'm sure it's quite lovely.

But as you can see, I am quite busy.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Well, I thought you were an honest journalist.

Of course I am.

Then why don't you come with me to Lake Tano?

You see, a beautiful bird sanctuary, which is the work of this compound and a

part of the game reserve.

All right, very well.

I'll go.

You have to stay home.

Why? Is there any particular danger?

No, not at all.

Then you do do my guest.

What seems to be the trouble?

I don't know. I don't know a thing about cars.

Maybe it's the battery.

Thank you, Judy.

Judy, it's empty.

Did you drink this water?

Well, I guess I'd better go down the lake and get some water.

Oh, no, no. Permit me.

Well, are you sure you can find it?

Yes, I can see it. It's right over there.

He's on his way.

Oh, he's got Judy with him.

Oh, great.

She'll probably run up to Major and kiss him.

Jack, let's call this whole thing off.

No, it's too late.

We've got to go through with it for Marsha's sake.

Okay, Major, get to work.

He wants me to bring the dart rifle. What should I do?

Just shoot, miss, and then realize you're out of darts.

As per plan X.

Roger. Over and out.

Good shot at him.

Do you have another dart?

I only brought one.

Judy.

What's the matter with Judy? She seems to be laughing.

No, she's just hysterical with fear.

Miss Gracie, will he attack?

Well, not if you remain perfectly calm.

Why is he coming toward us?

Could be the scent of Judy.

Judy, you stay down and stay out of trouble.

What do we do if he attacks us?

Well, here.

You still have a dart rifle. You can fight him off with this in case he

at you.

It's Jack and Mike.

I must have heard my dart rifle.

Jack!

You saved my life.

And you, Miss Paula, you risked yours.

How can I ever repay all of you?

Well, Robert, that's a question only you can answer.

I don't understand what changed your mind.

Is it that you suddenly realize that the work we're doing here is worthwhile?

No.

However, something just happened in the bush which forces me to change my course

of action.

In the bush?

I didn't even know you'd left the compound.

Well, you were busy in here and your daughter and Jack and Mike didn't want

disturb you.

What happened?

I was attacked by a wild animal.

Your daughter risked her life to save me.

Jack and Mike rescued us.

I would be the lowest sort of ingrate if I did any harm to you now, in light of

what I owe your staff.

Wait a minute. Let me get this straight.

They saved your life.

Therefore, you're not going to write anything bad about us, but by the same

token, you're not going to write anything favorable about the compound,

right? No, I cannot.

But, however, I do not consider it dishonorable to withhold my attack in

of what I owe your staff.

So I'll be ready to leave tomorrow morning.

One moment, Mr. Mako.

What sort of animal attacked you?

A lion. A lion?

Yes, a very handsome one.

But I confess to you, I was too frightened to appreciate his beauty.

Yes, well, just where did this attack take place?

Well, Paula and I were on our way to Lake Tannu when the car stalled by a

signpost. A signpost?

Just what did the signpost say?

Ulu Road Crossing.

Ulu Road Crossing.

Yes.

Well, that would be above right there.

Then what happened?

Well, Fuller discovered we were out of water.

And Judy and I started for the lake.

When suddenly a line appeared out of the bush.

And he came at you?

Well, not at first.

I panicked and called for help.

Paula bravely came with the dart rifle and fired at him. And she hit him.

Well, she's just a young girl she missed.

And she only had one dart.

She missed and she only had one dart?

What happened after that, Mr. Neko?

Well, she was calm, advised me to be cool.

But believe me, Dr. Hardy, I was truly terrified.

The line was getting restless and was about to attack.

When Jack and Mike suddenly appeared and rescued us.

It was very fortuitous.

Mr. Anako, you've certainly had a very unnerving experience. I'm sorry.

By the way, do you know where my fearless staff is right now?

On the veranda. Why didn't they come with you?

Well, I asked them not to. I wanted to speak to you alone.

I see.

Would you mind waiting here for a while and relaxing?

Maybe a few minutes.

Please help yourself to some coffee.

This may alter your decision.

He did?

It's a rather remarkable change in attitude, huh?

Yes, quite remarkable.

And what's even more remarkable is a series of rather incredible

such as the car stalling exactly at the Ulu Road crossing signpost.

A rather convenient rendezvous point, don't you think?

And it also just happened to run out of water at that particular time.

Judy drank it up?

Judy, did you drink up the water?

All right, Paula, is Judy lying?

Dad, you see, uh... Is that how I raised you, young lady?

And there's a few more remarkable coincidences.

You shoot at a lion and miss and then don't have any more darts.

And since when have lions been known to be around the Lake Tainu area?

I'll tell you when.

Since yesterday when you dropped off Old Major.

Well, that's right, Marsh.

But he'd just been fed, so we knew.

Right, Marsh. We were just trying to scare Robert a little bit so that you

accidentally be in the vicinity to save him and thus win his undying gratitude.

Is that it?

Well, yeah, sort of.

Well, I'm disappointed in you.

All of you for pulling a shabby trick like this.

Marsh, don't blame Paula. We talked her into it. Right, Marsh, we did.

And honestly, we took every possible precaution so that Robert could have

hurt.

Look, I appreciate your desire to help.

But you used outright fraud to convince Robert not to write that editorial.

Dad, we had to.

He was being unfair to you.

So you three geniuses cooked up this perfect plot, huh?

Well, it worked, didn't it?

No, it didn't.

But, Dad, we did it for you.

I only help because I love you, and I don't want to see you pushed around.

Right, Marshal. Look, in this case, I think the end did justify the means.

Oh, Jack, the end never justifies the means. You know that.

Look, Robert's up at the clinic now.

Now, what may have been an amusing experience to you could be terrifying to

someone new in the bush.

I'd appreciate it if you would all go up and apologize to him.

Ah, Marsh.

Right now.

Okay, Marsh.

You know, sometimes I think I understand human beings, especially those that are

closest to me.

But then they go and pull a crazy stunt like that.

Tell me, Judy.

As one intelligent individual to another, do you understand people?

I thought so.

Honestly, sorry.

Although we staged it as a practical joke, we wanted you to change your mind

about Dakali.

But he didn't know anything about it until he found out.

I feel very responsible because you are my father's guest.

Robert, I imagine now you have even more ammunition for your editorial.

Under the circumstances, we don't blame you.

if you would be kind enough to radio Officer Headley.

I think I would like to leave early in the morning.

What's the matter, Judy?

I think she wants you to go somewhere with her.

Sorry, Judy.

I have to be in Nagoro.

What's the matter, Judy?

Not another lion attack.

Very well, come on.

I'll put your luggage in the cart.

Utley?

Isn't that Robert Aneko heading off with Judy? Yes, it is.

Oh, shouldn't I have let them go?

No, no, it's all right.

You can't get us into any more trouble than we're already in.

Well, how about wetting your mustache with a cup of tea before you go?

Good idea.

I don't know where she's taking me.

Thank you.

What business has been going on here? What do you mean by this?

Well, what Judy has shown me this morning.

Tigers rattling with police dogs.

Ponies and hippos fraternizing.

Wolves sticking their heads into lions' mouths.

Elephants playing with buffalo.

And chimps playing with leopards.

And now a chimp twisting a lion's tail.

And all the other mixtures of so -called natural enemies that Judy showed me.

Playing, living together, friends.

Well, you're referring to our interspecies relationship studies.

Why haven't you showed it to me before?

Mr. Oneko, I was under the impression that you were more interested in your

country's progress than your animal relationships.

Well, now I've seen it all.

Thanks to Judy.

I suppose you really do have something to write about, hmm?

You bet I have.

you were showing me films of cattle diseases and taking me to meet tribal

chiefs. You had the most important experiment of all right here, at least

my point of view.

What do you mean?

Well, the problem of different peoples or different races of the world getting

along with one another.

I have just seen supposedly a hostile species playing together, living in

and harmony.

This is one of our many projects, seeing how traditional enemies can get along

with each other.

It does a truly original piece of experimental work.

It brings out in actual practice the biblical prophecy, the wolf shall dwell

with the lamb, the lion shall lie down with the kid.

Doctor, I guess I've given you a difficult time.

Nothing compared to your experience in the bush.

Well, I was searching for a story, and now I've found it. The work you're doing

with this mixture of species is admirable.

It is something that all of Africa, the whole world should know about. If

animals can live in peace, why not men and nations?

Precisely.

On that cheery note, I suggest we leave Womero.

Of course, Officer Headley.

I want to thank you all for a truly fascinating experience.

And you, old friend.

I hope I haven't been too hard on you.

Because I've realized something significant.

That if you were desperate enough to resort to trickery, then Doctard's work

here at the compound is truly important. It is, Robert.

But, Tracy, you are indeed a very brave young lady.

Jack, on my next trip, you must have some good long discussions about the

conditions of the world. Which world, Robert? The animal or the human?

Both. Bye.

Bye, Judy.

Bye -bye, Toto.

And goodbye, Clarence.

And that's for you, Doctor. Keep loving the animals.

And listen to Judy.

She knows what she's talking about.
