Thank you.

are a colossal disappointment.

Why are you mad at him?

Oh, I'm not mad at him.

Oh, you guys.

It's just I've been working on this experiment with him for the last two

and reads negative.

Let's do it all over again.

What does reads negative mean?

It means that it didn't work out, that something went wrong.

If something went wrong, why are you doing it again?

Well, we usually learn something valuable when an experiment goes wrong.

all in the name of science.

Doctor, I never told me experiments go wrong.

Well, sometimes grown -ups don't tell children enough, and sometimes we can

them too much. So you're just going to have to trust us.

Now, why don't you run along? I'm very busy.

But I want to stay here.

Go on, play. Let's go.

Well, it's as if that tranquilizing solution you put in your food is taking

effect.

Your last check still showed the same results, huh?

Oh, yes.

The milk is infected.

Herman has to be moved.

Okay.

Well, at least we can use the data on the psychological effects of early

weaning. You think we can get little Herman to feed alone?

Oh, I think so.

If not, we'll just have to go to his foster mother.

Yeah, I think we're all right now.

Good morning, Dad. Sorry.

Oh, hi, honey.

I thought you were going to have a poetry lesson with Hedley.

Come here. Hi, Mike.

Hello, sweetheart.

What have you been up to today?

Oh, nothing.

Just watching Paula make Spearmint go wrong.

Oh, well, let's hope we have more luck with this Spearmint.

Why is she sleeping?

What are you going to do?

Oh, she's just taking a nap, honey.

We're going to put Herman in another cage.

Won't she be lonesome?

I don't think so, sweetheart.

But you see, he can't have his mother's milk anymore.

Then can I take him to my nursery with the other baby animals?

No, Jenny, he hasn't been weaned yet.

Weaned? What does wean mean?

She'll be coming too soon.

But what does wean mean?

I'll explain later now. He went along.

Here's Hedley now.

Later, Jenny, later. Now scoot. Go on, scoot, scoot.

Now, Julie, this is an out -and -out ride. I give you this, and you promise

stay out of Jenny's lesson today.

Officer Hedley!

Jenny, Jenny, right as a penny.

Well, what do you say, Jenny baby? Shall we have a bash at the old poetry?

Oh, Hedley, you talk so funny.

What do you mean, funny?

I can explain anything.

You try.

Well, explain to me what would happen to a cub if it's taken from its mother and

it's not weaned yet.

Ah.

Well, you know, animal husbandry is more in Daktari's line, but I can assure

you, without his mother's milk, he'd probably die.

But let's forget animals for the time being. Shall we get on with the poetry?

Oh, Father, I've left my poetry book in the car. I'll be back in a minute,

Jenny.

Judy, Dr.

Tari's taking Herman away from its mother.

And Haley said he'd probably die.

Well, after our lesson today, I'm going to see Herman and see if he's all right.

Marsh, maybe you'd better wait.

Oh, I think it's all right now.

As soon as I get him, I'll hand him out to you. All right.

Thank you.

It was close.

You all right?

Oh, yeah, I'm fine.

Dad, what's all the whining about?

Oh, nothing much. Mama just didn't appreciate our efforts on her behalf.

a low -grade infection. We have to take her cub away. Is it serious?

No, no, no. I destroyed her already on medication.

She should be over in no time, but in the meantime, she shouldn't hurt.

Oh, Paula, would you get Herman for me or put him in this cage?

Sure. What's that for?

Well, as long as she can smell her cub, why, she should be quiet.

And then Herman won't be distracted by the sight of her, so he can start

on his own.

Won't Herman smell her?

No, he's too young.

You know, Mike, we should get a long rope and tire to that log just in case.

All right. I'll get Herman's milk first.

Okay.

Yes, Carol.

Miss Pierce should be along pretty soon. Take her to Nagoro.

Oh, I haven't forgotten.

When Toto found out that she was going to be the star of the fundraising party

at the orphanage, she became the world's worst prima donna.

Will she be able to do the routine that you taught her all right? Oh, of course.

She likes to get dressed up. She just can't resist lording it over Judy, so I

had to separate the two of them with a few harsh words.

Well, you'd better get Toto and her costume ready.

Miss Pierce should be here any minute.

Okay.

Ah, here we are.

Now, Judy, you have your bribe. Take your fruit away somewhere and don't

us. That's the way, Judy.

Away you go.

That's a good girl.

That's right, Clarence. You get on with your snooze. You don't bother us and we

won't bother you.

Now, here it is.

Now, this is one of my favorite nursery rhymes.

How far is it to Babylon?

Three score and ten.

Can I get there by candlelight?

Yes, and back again.

What is three score?

Well, a score's twenty, so three score and ten is seventy miles.

Oh. What is Babylon?

Well, now look here, you know. What suited my nursery days are no good at

now. I'll tell you what we'll do.

We'll change the poetry course to, um... Creative rhyming.

Yes, that means that we make up our own poems about things we've done.

That'll be fun.

You go first.

All right.

Um... Now, the lion is the king of the beasts.

Because he enjoys the largest feasts.

Um... Because he has the kind of cunning that sets the animal kingdom running.

That's wonderful, Hedley.

Do another one about Judy.

About Judy?

Oh, that's very difficult. Let me see.

Oh, yes, I know. The chimpanzee is thought to be the smartest of the jungle

breed. But actually, and, uh, actually, such is not its creed.

For though it looks intelligent, its brain is oft irrelevant.

A chimp's not capable of thought and can only do what a chimp is taught.

Gee,

I really wanted to teach Judy that.

Yes, it's all very well for you to laugh.

Now go on, you make up a poem now.

I feel so well.

Well done.

You are an extraordinary child.

You are an extraordinary child.

Well, I think this calls for a spot of tea. You coming?

I don't drink tea.

Besides, I have to do something now.

Are you coming, Judy? I didn't mean to be rude. I've got to be carried away.

That'll give you enough room to move around in.

Okay, young fella, your lunch will be along in a minute.

Well, hello there.

You know something? I think your face could use a little soap and water.

You said Herman wouldn't be lonesome, but he's crying.

Now can I take him to the nursery with the other baby animals?

No, not yet, Jenny. He has to be weaned first.

take his mother's milk.

Then your experiment's wrong.

I want Herman. I'll take care of him.

Just a minute, young lady.

All I want you to do right now is to go up and wash and have Paula make you a

sandwich. You just leave Herman to me.

If I leave him to you, he'll die.

Jenny, I don't know what's upset you, but you're just going to have to trust

right now.

Run along and we'll settle this later.

You're doing a bad thing. I don't like you. All right, that's enough. Now do as

I say.

What was that all about?

I don't know.

Just so the fellow didn't have a more pressing problem, I'd sure find out.

Come on, let's try him on the milk.

All right.

Here we go.

No foster mother for him.

Yeah, it looks that way.

Uh, Mike, would you mind waiting here until he finishes? I want to see what's

eating Jack. All right.

Thank you, Sergeant. Out.

Oh, he's fine. He's feeding on his own now.

Um, Paula, have you seen Jane?

She's resting.

I took a tray into her. I guess Hedley must have exhausted her with his poetry

in motion.

Well, it's pretty heady stuff, creative poetry.

But I must say, Mark, I've decided that as a poet, I'm an awfully good district

officer.

Well, I'm inclined to agree with you.

Hedley, would you do me a favor?

From now on, will you tone down the creative poetry?

One prima donna around here is enough.

Well, I guess I'd better wash up.

Well, Miss Pierce won't be here for hours yet.

Hilda, why don't you help me clean up the dishes?

Miss Pierce, how do you know that?

Sergeant Kowanga called and said that she'd been delayed, but she'd make it by

dinner time.

Well, I must be off.

Well, I'll walk down with you. If Miss Pierce comes, call me, will you, Paul?

Men.

Well, Senorita Contessa, as Hedley would say, there is work afoot.

Come on, help me with the dishes.

Then I called Dr.

a bad man.

But he is going to hurt Herman.

You heard what Hedley said.

Laurie doesn't know everything.

Like how a baby feels without its mother.

You know, it's not like Jenny to sleep this late.

Maybe I'd better wake her up.

Thank you. I'm sorry I'm late.

I had a flat tire.

I'm a mess.

Well, frankly, I knew it looks good.

Thank you. I'd still like to clean up. Oh, sure. There's plenty of time. At

least be an hour before dinner. Good stuff.

Do you think I was bad, Judy?

I guess Dr. I never hurt anyone.

I should apologize.

I bet I get punished bad for what I said.

All right, if you say so.

You want to come?

my hair, because Dr. Wright always wants me to look pretty.

And if Headley's sergeant hadn't come along, I'd still be there.

Well, you'll stay over, of course. The bazaar is until tomorrow afternoon.

Well, thank you, Paula. I'd like to. It'll give me a chance to visit with

and with all of you.

By the way, how is she?

She's marvelous.

And happy, too.

Of course, she mixes it with a little touch of occasional independent

temperament. I might add, she's still asleep.

Maybe after what happened this morning, a few extra hours sleep is just what she

needs. Oh, sure.

And after dinner tonight, Toto's going to do her act for us.

Aren't you, Toto?

Am I going to have trouble with her? You know it's a long drive to the

orphanage.

Well, she's been acting up like that lately.

I'll have a little talk with her after dinner. What she needs is a little

discipline. I personally guarantee you when you take her to the orphanage,

she'll cause you no trouble.

Everyone seems to turn in early around here.

I mean, almost everyone.

Yeah, I see what you mean.

You know, one could get the impression that our company is not appreciated.

Yes, one could.

I certainly appreciate the company.

Well, I'm glad to hear that.

Do you suppose that Jenny's still asleep?

Uh, well, um...

Why don't we take a look and see, hmm? Oh, please, don't wake her up.

Oh, I know she'd like to see you.

That's June, you know.

You might be able to help me straighten out a certain situation before it

becomes a problem.

Now, listen, young lady, I want you to stay right here.

Oh, please, Marsh, let her come.

She probably wants to see Jenny, too.

Fine, then. Beautiful night, beautiful lady. What do we have?

A chimpanzee for a chaperone.

Come with me.

Jenny, you... Please don't make a marsh.

We'll have a lot of time together in the morning.

Bring it back, Judy.

Come on.

You go off and play.

I told Owen, it's long past your bedtime, now scoot.

Would you care for some more coffee? Oh, please.

You know, this is a treat. It really gives a city gal something to think

Well, it gives a country boy a few thoughts, too.

Thank you.

June,

do you have a feeling that there's a conspiracy against us?

Well, I really have to get an early start.

Thank you, Lord.

Well, what? You've got the cold coffee and a noticeable lack of privacy?

No, for a lot of things.

But mostly for what you're doing for Jenny.

Good night.

Oh, and good night to you too, Judy.

Judy.

Well, these days you and I are going to have to have a long talk.

Good night.

Am I going to have trouble with her?

It's a long drive to the orphanage.

Well, she's been acting up that way lately, but I'll have a talk with her

dinner.

What she needs is a little discipline.

I can assure you that she will give you no trouble on the way to the orphanage.

Please don't wake her.

We'll have a lot of time together in the morning.

Judy, you've got to help me.

Doctor's going to send me back to the orphanage tomorrow.

But it's true.

I heard him talk to Miss Pierce about taking me back because I made trouble.

So I'm going to run away.

You want to come?

If you went to a chimp orphanage, I would help you.

She wouldn't understand.

You're just a baby. You gotta keep moving.

I'll protect you.

Morning, Mike.

Good morning.

Mike, have you seen Jenny?

No, isn't she in her room?

No.

No, she must be out playing with Judy.

That's funny.

She's been looking forward to going to the village with me for days.

Oh, you know how kids are. She probably forgot all about him.

Maybe.

Well. I've got to check the vaccine before I leave.

If she shows up, I'll be in the lab.

Okay.

Morning. Good morning.

Would you care for some coffee? I can guarantee at least it's hot.

Oh, no, thank you. Paula brought me some coffee in my room. And Toto and I have

to leave.

Just one for the road, Toto.

I was looking for Jenny. I did want to see her before I left.

So have I.

She went to sleep so early, I guess she must have gotten up before anyone else.

Probably playing with Judy. I'll have a look. Thanks, Marsh.

But we can have a nice long visit when I bring Toto back.

That fundraising party is this afternoon, and we do have to leave right

Toto, come on.

Here we go.

You sure you have everything now? Yes, we're all set.

Well, you got Toto's outfit?

Packing with mine.

You sure you won't get them mixed up?

Oh, my.

Thank you.

Wish us luck with the show.

Oh, I sure do.

And if Toto gives any trouble, just let me know.

Here's the story, you know.

Bye -bye. Bye.

Oh, Paula, have you seen Jenny this morning?

No, why?

Oh, it's just that Miss Pierce wanted to see her before she left.

I guess she must be with Judy somewhere.

Well, wherever that is, I was supposed to start a new project today. Can't find

Judy.

Well, that's strange. Both of them disappearing.

Look, I don't like this idea one bit.

Paula, check the house. I'll get Mike and check the compound.

Okay.

I'm hungry, too.

You will be back any minute.

It probably must have been mean to Herman. She was little.

She's probably hiding here, too.

Oh, well.

Herman, you've got to eat.

Herman needs milk.

Judy, you're going to have to go back home and get things.

Be sure to milk.

Cookies would be nice too.

Be sure no one sees you.

I'll read you a story until Judy gets back.

It's not very fun here, but we'll have to stay.

Any luck? Yeah, bad.

Herman's missing, too.

Uh -oh.

What's the connection?

Oh, it's my fault, I'm afraid.

Jenny was worried about Herman yesterday, and I brushed her off.

My guess is she took Herman with her.

Aided and abetted by Judy, I'm sure.

Well, it's some trio to be wandering around the bush.

Yeah, Mike, better get the blue zebra, huh? Okay.

I'll come with you.

Oh, no, Paul, I want you to stay here and alert Headley and his men to be on

lookout and see if you can get Bart on safari. I'll keep in touch by radio.

Okay.

Roger, Paula.

Out. This certainly is delicious.

Tell me, Mr. Jason, what are we going after this afternoon?

At your rate, I don't want to waste a minute.

Mr. Bixby, I wonder if you'd mind canceling your camera safari for a

see our little Jenny?

That Terry's daughter?

Yeah, well, it seems she's out in the bush, lost and in big trouble.

I'm sorry. I won't agree to any postponement. Now, look, I don't care if

agree or not. We're going back.

Unless, unless you'll let me come along and help.

Thanks. Let's pack it up.

Well, Judy's gift of favor to me, fool.

We better find them before they need water.

Clarence, I bet you're lonesome without your two pals, huh?

Well, I wouldn't worry about Judy. She can manage.

Anyway, she's been out in the bush before.

And Dad will probably find them.

I just hope she can cope with a seven -year -old and a baby lion come to boot.

Well, I guess I'd better go and feed Herman's mother and stay here and hope

not having an insult to injury.

Could they have come this far?

I don't see how.

Come on, let's get back to Romero.

Romero calling Horace Tracy. Dad, do you hear me?

Yes, Paula, I read you. We were just coming in.

Any luck?

No, I'm afraid not.

Anything new there?

Well, Herman's mother's missing from her cage.

What? And the gate to the cage is still closed.

I can't figure out how she could have gotten out.

A nursing lioness missing her cub?

Obviously, she was able to jump higher than we thought.

What if she goes looking for her cub? Do you think she'd hurt Jenny and Judy? I

mean, if they still have Herman with them.

Don't worry, Paula. We'll find them first.

See you soon. Out.

Mama must really be frantic to have jumped that fence.

Yes.

She'll kill anything or anyone with her cub's scent on it.

Well, we better clean up.

Here, Judy, now clean up.

He's too young. But when he grows up, he'll do chores, too.

Now, come on, clean up.

Better won't get scared tonight.

As long as Herman doesn't cry anymore.

Mike, you better take this jeep. It'll be faster.

All right.

I should reach the village in about an hour. I'll have the chief send out word

over the drums and come back along the river.

No, Hedley's going to cover that area.

Why don't you cover the area between Portness D and G?

All right.

Dad, I was at the supply shack and I got you this extra canteen, but I found

this. What on earth is that?

Well, it's an old play hat. I can't imagine how it could have gotten there.

I haven't seen it since, well, since I was Jenny's age.

I remember you used to dress up when you were a kid.

Well, where did you keep those clothes?

At the treehouse.

I was always afraid you'd laugh at me, so I'd go up to the treehouse and I'd

dress up by the hour.

Was that all that you noticed in the supply shack?

It was all messed up. It's not like Bart.

Hey, Dad, you don't think... Yes, I do, Judy.

Well, what about the lioness?

That's what I'm worried about.

You're going to have to go back home again.

You're gonna have to trust me.

We'll be back soon. Now you take a nap.

We've got to take care of ourselves because grown -ups get busy and don't

us anymore.

Dr. Tori asked the orphanage to take me back.

I don't have a mother like you, Herman, but I want one just as much.

Now I have to be your mother so you won't die.

That's why we're staying here.

Don't worry, Herman.

I'll take care of you.

Jenny. Jenny.

Jenny.

Jenny.

Dr.

E.

Come on.

I've come to take you home.

No, you...

No, Jenny, you don't understand.

Miss Pierce came for Toto, not you.

Uh -oh.

Jenny, hey, quick, hand me Don Herman so I can give him to his mother.

Jenny, do as I say.

Jenny, do as I say.

She won't attack if she gets her cub.

No, you said if the cub went with his mother, he'd die.

Jenny, you're going to have to trust me.

That lioness is going to attack any minute. And my only chance is Herman.

You got the gun.

I promise you he won't get hurt. Now, you must trust me.

There.

Here's your cup.

Listen here, young lady. Do you realize that by taking Herman and... I did a bad

thing, didn't I, Dr.

Rory? That Linus could have killed you.

Yes, you did.

But I'm afraid I did a bad thing, too. I should have explained to you right away

about Herman. If I just had a little more patience, none of this would have

happened.

I guess that's the whole point.

When you love someone, that means you trust them, even if you don't

I mean, I get busy sometimes. I just can't explain right away. But, well,

doesn't mean you run off and do something foolish.

I'm so little, and there's so much to learn.

Oh,

even when you're big, there's still a lot to learn.

Hey, where are you going?

Well, if I did a bad thing and you did a bad thing, then Judy must have did a

bad thing. I've got to go tell her.

You know something?

I don't think it's going to be necessary.

How about we go home?

Okay.
