[GROWLING]

[JUDY GRUNTING]

- Dad, here's the phenol red.
- Thank you, honey.

There you go.

[CHITTERING]

There. That's all right, I think.

- I hope we get lucky.
- Heh, heh.

Yep. Where there's lion tracks,
there's got to be lions.

That's a proverb
me old father told me once.

Now, the law of averages says that we've
got to snare this one sooner or later.

Tell that to the lion.

Ha, ha, ha. You know,
the trouble with you, Stokes...

...is you've got no faith
in your old partner.

I got lots of faith in you, Giles.

It's the animals
you can never depend on.

All right, let's set the trip line.

GILES: When we come back, maybe
we'll be lucky and have something.

All right, come on.
Let's check the snares upriver.

[LIONESS GROWLS AS CUB SPITS]

[SCREAMING]

[ROARING]

[JUDY SCREECHING]

Well, now what's with Judy?

I don't know.

Judy, calm down.

Anyway, it's very plain
she wants us to follow her.

We don't have time to go roaming off
in the bush with her now.

Well, something's bothering her,
whatever it is.

She'll calm down on the way home.

Clarence, come on, let's go.

Judy, bring him over here.

Clarence, did you hear me? Let's go.

Clarence! Judy! Come back here!

Come back here!

Dad, what is bothering her?

A big streak of stubbornness.

Maybe if she has to walk home,
it'll teach her a lesson.

MARSH: To disregard Judy
was a prime mistake.

If only we had gone with her...

...we would have been spared grief
and danger.

- Still no sign of them?
- No.

No, thank you.

Well, it is kind of strange.
They should've been back by now.

It's my fault. I should never have
left them out there in the bush.

Don't blame yourself. They've come from
the brush before and never got lost.

I know, but maybe
Judy wasn't just being stubborn.

Maybe she really was trying
to show us something.

Hey, look, don't worry too much.

I figure that pair can handle
just about anything.

I know, they usually can.
But since they are late...

...maybe they ran into something
they just couldn't handle.

MARSH:
Judy's an old hand at animal survival.

She knew that motherless cubs
wouldn't last long, if at all...

...unprotected in the jungle.

So she decided to bring them home...

...to the only safe place she knew.

Jack could use some help
in the laboratory, Paula.

I'm afraid I wouldn't be
much good to him.

I'm ready to climb the walls.

Paula.

Clarence will take care of Judy.

If he can't,
then Judy will take care of Clarence.

[JACK SIGHS]

Maybe I should drive to the village
and see if anyone has seen them.

Judy and Clarence know better
than to go near the village.

[CLARENCE GROWLING]

[JUDY CALLING]

[CLARENCE ROARS]

[CUB CRYING]

[JUDY SCREECHING]

[CUB CRYING
AND JUDY SCREECHING]

The natives are friendly, of course...

...but how were they to know that
Clarence was a lover, not a fighter?

Judy had to get those cubs out of there
before they were spotted and attacked.

[JUDY CHATTERING]

[SINISTER LAUGH]

What did I tell you, eh?

Patience brings its own reward.

Oh, she's a fine looking animal,
sure enough.

You know, this little venture of ours
might pay off yet.

Let's get the net in the truck
and get out of here.

Here, Stokes,
we can take care of that later.

You know,
this lioness is still carrying milk...

...which means she had cubs recently
and is still nursing them.

So?

Well, cubs bring a good price too,
partner.

- You're not suggesting we look for them?
- Why not? Ha, ha.

They're bound to be around here
somewhere.

It's too dangerous.
Now, why stretch our luck?

I say we take the animals we got
and head for the coast.

Now, why take half a cake when
you can have the whole thing, Stokes?

All right, now. Let's get tracking, eh?

[CHATTERING]

Gauze pad, Paula.

Paula. Gauze pad, please.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Tape.

Pull a piece off, huh?

Well, you sure picked a bad time
to daydream.

I'm sorry, Jack.

I'm just terribly concerned
about Judy and Clarence.

Only wish I knew
where to look for them.

Well, Judy likes to swim.
Maybe they took the river route.

Are you kidding? She wouldn't go
within a mile of that river.

It's infested with crocodiles.

[CROCODILE GROWLING]

[SCREAMING]

MARSH: To baby lion cubs,
anything, even crocodiles...

...appear to be fine candidates
for playmates.

But like all babies, human or animal...

...they hadn't yet learned
the meaning of fear.

But Judy viewed this game of tag
with proper caution and frustration.

And with a usual resourcefulness...

...she finally found a way
of ending the game and the danger.

[HISSING]

[JUDY GRUNTING]

MARSH: But the situation was far from
the fun and games it seemed to be.

If a jungle predator, like a leopard,
didn't get the cubs...

...surely starvation would.

And they were still a long way
from the compound...

...and its worried inhabitants.

Hey, little lady, it's almost dinner time.

I'm not hungry.

But we are,
and you happen to be our cook.

- They're lost, I just know it.
- Don't be silly.

There's over a dozen signs posted
giving the directions to the compound.

[CLARENCE GROWLS]

Hey, Giles.

I may not be the tracker you are,
but aren't these leopard tracks?

Yes, I'm afraid they are.

Well, that settles it then.
There's no point in going on.

By now,
the leopard's made a meal of them.

We can't be sure about that.

Maybe we'll get to them
before the leopard does. Come on.

Well, well, well.

Speak no evil, hear no evil,
and see no evil.

[PAULA MOANS]

Heh, heh. I'm sorry, honey.

Look, I'll tell you what. I'll go back
and see if I can pick up their trail.

Clarence is easy to track because
he never walks in a straight line.

So we shouldn't have any prob--

[JUDY CHATTERING]

- Judy. Clarence.
- And friends.

Ha, ha! They followed the signs.

[PAULA SCOFFS]

I'm so mad at them,
I don't even wanna see them.

You can start giving Clarence and Judy
a hard time if you want to...

...but those cubs look like
they could use some milk.

- Well, I'll fix it.
- We'd better help Marsh.

No, we're gonna get
a very practical lesson.

We're gonna see how the daktari
handles three squirming lion cubs.

[BOTH LAUGHING]

See, it's not so easy, even for him.

- There, you see? He made it.
- Come on.

MARSH:
A lion cub, too young to be weaned...

...could not live longer than 24 hours
without its mother's milk.

Time was running out on us.

[BIRD SCREECHING]

Wanna take a look?

Alrighty.

Well, let's see there.

Oh, that's good, yes.
No stiffness or anything.

- Well, Jack, I think you can let him go.
- Good. Will do.

Have you finished feeding the cubs?

I didn't even get started.
They just won't eat.

Especially Nod.

Nod?

I named them
Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

- And Nod's giving you trouble?
- He's starving.

- Well, not yet.
- But he will. All three will...

...if they don't get something to eat,
if we can't find their mother.

PAULA: Did you call in Officer Hedley?
MARSH: Yes, yes. About an hour ago.

He said he'd tell his men to keep their
eyes open for a worried mother lioness.

I'm beginning to feel like
a worried mother myself.

You know, Marsh...

...she's right.

If they don't take nourishment
and we can't find the mother....

I know.

Dad.

- Paula, what's the matter?
- Well, look.

Ah!

We'd better let Judy handle it.

After she's finished,
we'll put them in the baby pen.

[ALL LAUGHING]

Judy, that's not for you,
that's for the babies.

MARSH:
It appeared that the cubs...

...were old enough to survive
without their mother.

But our happiness and joy was soon
to turn into something quite else again.

[ALL LAUGHING]

- Well, hello, Hedley.
- Can I join the party?

Oh, Hedley, you're just in time. Look.

Sometimes I wonder
just who belongs in a pen.

- I say, that's not a--
- Yes, it is.

It's a bear. Dirty and thirsty.

And resourceful. Isn't he cute?

What the deuce is a Himalayan bear
doing here in Africa?

- We imported him.
HEDLEY: Yes.

I worked that part out for myself.
The point is why?

Just another part of our studies
in inter-special relationships, Hedley.

And pretty good proof that there's
no such thing as natural enemies.

At least not in the animal world.

Look, Judy's afraid the bear is gonna
hurt the cubs. She's protecting them.

Very valiant of her.

I take it these are the little rascals
you called me about.

Uh, yes, um....

Hedley, have you dug up anything?

Well, no, not really.

No talk of a lioness being killed
or found dead or anything.

Well, she wouldn't desert them.
And without their mother, I'm worried.

They look healthy enough.

They took some nourishment from Judy,
but not nearly enough.

You mean without their mother
they mightn't pull through.

Well, let's hope they don't have to try.

Hmm. I do see what you mean, old boy.

Very well, I'd better be off.
Look around a bit.

Thank you, Hedley. For all of us.

I'll take a look back here.

Them cubs didn't come back here either,
so let's drive.

Oh, relax, Stokes. Relax.

A person would think
you got somewhere to go.

Look, if the cubs don't show up first
thing in the morning, then off we pop.

Waiting around like this
makes me edgy.

All right, then,
do something constructive.

Water the animals.
We gotta keep them healthy.

[BIRD CAWS]

I don't blame you for being a bit timid,
old boy.

That's right, no fast moves.

A nursing lioness.

It's a bit ironical, but I know a family
that'll be very grateful to you.

Oh, and the next time you poach,
be sure you cover up your tire tracks.

Thank you, we will.
Oh, I wouldn't do anything, if I were you.

To quote a certain nosey district officer,
"No fast moves."

All right, now, drop your gun.

Drop it, I said.

Well, now, that was kind of foolish,
wasn't it, old boy?

Nope. No. I wouldn't do that
if I were you, Stokes.

At the risk of making a bad pun,
you're jumping the gun.

- You don't want me to finish him?
- Oh, indeed I do, but not here.

No, we tie him up
and we take him with us in the morning.

Then when we're safely
across the border--

Well, over there,
a dead district officer from over here...

...ain't no skin off nobody's nose, eh?

It's a shame Paula didn't stay
to enjoy her own cooking.

She's too excited to eat.

- Well, what's the latest report?
- They won't eat anymore...

...but they're settled down for the night.
Thanks to Judy.

Judy?
You mean, she's still with them?

They wouldn't settle down without her.
Come have a look.

MARSH:
Even though we laughed at Judy's antics...

...I knew what morning
would bring with it.

The sad reality of the cubs' true peril.

And there would be nothing
we could do about it.

Except perhaps to keep it from Paula.

[GIGGLING]

Well, looks like Judy's in
for a restless night.

Dad, come quick.

They've been like this for the last hour.
They won't even eat. Not even for Judy.

Poor babies can hardly move.

What do you think, Dad?

Oh, they're all right. Ahem.

Ah.... Remember,
they had a pretty exciting day yesterday.

Would you get me some Dextrol?
Maybe it'll lift their spirits a little.

All right.

MARSH:
Judy was concerned and quiet.

I knew now that without their mother,
all hope was gone.

It would break Paula's heart.

How are they?

Not so good.

For the last time, you'll never get away
with this, you know.

If you give yourselves up now,
I'll do what I can for you.

You're both young, and a year or two
behind bars will go before you know it.

Don't sta--

[GILES CHORTLES]

You know, all these years
I thought you were insensitive, Stokes.

Never mind the philosophy,
when do we move?

Just as soon as we finish breakfast
and police up a bit.

Oh.

And this time, old boy,
we will cover up our tracks.

We wouldn't want nobody to know...

...that any of us had been around here,
now would we?

[HEDLEY MUMBLING]

Okay, let her go.

Here she comes now.

They won't touch a drop.
They need their mother.

Yes, I'm afraid so, honey.

Isn't there something we can do, Dad?
Try and find her?

Hedley's doing everything he can.

We'd all be out there right now
if there were any chance of finding her.

It's just too big an area to cover.

Maybe she's caught
in some poacher's net.

[CHATTERING]

Now what?

I think she's trying
to tell you something again.

Judy. Judy, is that it?
What are you trying to tell us?

Dad, when Mike mentioned
the poacher's net, she got excited.

See?

You said she could only communicate
by reacting to what we said.

Judy, is it a net?

Is the lioness caught in a net?

Of course that's it.

That's exactly what she was trying
to tell us at the water hole.

Judy, can you show us where it is?
Can you lead us to it?

Hey, I think we are beginning
to communicate.

MARSH:
Yeah.

Jack, you, Paula and Mike take the truck.
See if you can follow her.

I'm gonna call Hedley, see if he's heard
anything about poachers in the area.

Should I take the cubs with us?

No, honey,
this is too much of a long shot.

And by the way, if you should happen
to run into any poachers...

...don't try to be heroic.
Let Hedley handle it.

JACK:
Will do.

Okay, Judy, which way?
Come on, which way?

Let's go.

Here, you take this.

Give us a hand with him, eh?

[JUDY HOOTING]

Hey, do we need any more chimps?

[IN MUFFLED VOICE]:
Run!

Hey, you know, that's about
200 pounds sterling worth of chimp...

...wandering around out there.

Suppose we take a net
and go after her, eh?

Fetch a banana from the truck.

[SHREIKING]

Here we go! Here!

- What's the matter with her?
- That's what's the matter.

GILES: Here's a nice little banana.
Where are you?

Come on. Come on, Judy.

Here, girl. Come on. Come on, girl.
Where are you? Come on, girl.

Hey, look.

There's Hedley in that cage.

All the animals are on the truck.
And one's a lioness.

It might be the cubs' mother.

At least we know
these are the poachers.

Yeah, and they'd kill Hedley or us
without batting an eye.

GILES: Come on, girl. Come on.
STOKES: Here's a nice little banana.

- Judy, come back here.
- What is she doing?

STOKES: Giles.
- What?

There she is.

GILES: Here, girlie. Come on.
STOKES: Here you are, chimp.

GILES: Here, girlie. Come. Come on.
STOKES: Here's a nice little banana.

STOKES:
Come on, chimp, here's a nice banana.

GILES: Here, girlie, come on.
STOKES: Come on, chimp.

- She's detouring them away from us.
- Want me to head back and find Marsh?

- No.
- There's not enough time.

They could drive off with Hedley
and the lioness.

What are you going to do with that?

These darts will put an elephant to sleep,
they'll certainly knock out a man.

Jack, that rifle he's carrying
shoots real bullets.

I know, I'll just have to try
and pick them off before they see me.

Judy, baby, keep them real busy.
Mike, try and get to Hedley.

GILES: Here, girl. Here, here.
- Nice little girl.

STOKES: Come on.
GILES: Here, girl.

STOKES:
Come on, little girl.

GILES:
Come on. Here, come on, girl.

Here, chimp. Here, little chimp.

[JUDY SHREIKING]

- What's the matter with you?
- I got stung or something.

GILES:
What?

Leave it alone.

If you think I'm gonna be taken in
by a dart, then you're out of your mind.

Oof!

Aagh!

Hey!

MIKE:
Hey!

[GUN BLASTS]

That's it.

Come on.

[ALL CHUCKLING]

Let's get Hedley.

Hedley, you all right?

Is the lioness all right?

[HEDLEY MUMBLING]

MIKE: Watch, Jack.
JACK: Okay. Here we go.

JACK:
There.

Hedley, what happened?
How do you feel?

[IN NORMAL VOICE]:As your
district officer, slightly embarrassed.

But as a doomed man...

...enormously grateful.

Ha, ha, ha.
Oof!

[LIONESS MEWLING]

The lioness, is she the mother?

Well, Mike, what do you think?

Oh, incidentally, Hedley called.

Said something about arranging
a citation for the three of you.

For having caught the poachers
and saving his life.

Three of us?
You mean four, don't you?

Yeah, that's right.

By the way, where is Judy?
She was here a second ago.

Judy.

Oh, no, not again.

Well, if a cub needs help,
Judy will mother it.
