[GOATS BAAING]

Are you sure this is the station for
the Wameru Animal Study Center?

Sure, sure. For Daktari, yes?

Wameru, nine miles, that way.
Near village.

[SIGHS]

Welcome to Africa.

Is this Miss Lorne
worth all this rush?

Absolutely.

This Janet Lorne, as in, the Lorne
Foundation, supports our research.

All of the equipment
Luke was talking about.

MARSH:
Mm-hm.

Miss Lorne is a trustee, and back
when I was doing my graduate work...

...I learned a fact of life.

Always be very,
very tender with trustees.

And besides, there's plenty of, um....

What is it?

[BRAYING]

Something's wrong with that zebra.
I'm gonna take a look.

A hunter.
Wounded him and lost him.

- Why, you'll take care of him here?
- Yes.

- Another 10 minutes, it'll be too late.
- But, Dad, we'll be late for Miss Lorne.

Oh. There's one other thing
I learned in medical college.

Trustees have pull,
but patients come first.

Now, get the kit, will you?

Besides, that bus isn't due to arrive
for another 15 minutes yet.

- Very neat hem stitching, Daddy.
- Heh.

Yeah, your father the seamstress.

Okay. Let's ease back,
give him a chance to come to.

Ah. Well, he's coming around, now.

Hyah! Hup. Hup. Up and at them.
Up and at them.

He'll be a little wobbly at first...

...but in a week or so
he'll be back to normal.

If he doesn't pick up another bullet.

PAULA: How could he? There's no
hunting allowed on the reserve.

Paula, that zebra didn't travel here
with a bullet in him.

He was shot nearby.

I just hope whoever did it was out
of here before there's more trouble.

Hey, hey. Come on.
Go join your family.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Hello.
What are you doing here?

I was supposed to have been met
by a Dr. Marsh Tracy...

...otherwise known as
The Invisible Man.

Daktari. Oh, he's probably stumbling
over a wounded butterfly.

- I'll give you a lift.
- I was beginning to feel like...

- ...Little Orphan Annie.
- Ha, ha.

He's probably a little late.

I know the bus was early,
because it wasn't late.

And it was off because it was on time,
heh.

Time's a bit erratic out here.

You mustn't be angry with Marsh.

My name's Hedley.
District officer.

Janet Lorne. And I'm afraid...

...I have every intention of being
absolutely furious with Dr. Tracy.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Hey, there's Daktari now.

Hello, Hedley.

Doing some of your pleasant errands
for a change, Marsh.

- This is Miss Lorne, remember?
- My pleasure. I'm Dr. Tracy.

- And this is my daughter, Paula.
- Hi.

I mean, pleased to meet you,
Miss Lorne.

You must forgive us, we had a
medical emergency about a mile back.

I'm sure it was very important.

Shall we proceed to your compound,
Dr. Tracy?

PAULA:
Ugh.

Well, she has a right to be angry.

And I've got a right to my own opinion.
Ugh.

MARSH:
Move over, Judy. Come on.

Do you always let your animals
just run around loose like that?

What, you mean the ducks?

No, I mean that....

[GROWLS]

That's a tiger.

- In Africa?
- Well, yes, he's imported.

Uh, part of a study we're making
on interspecies relationships.

On company funds, Dr. Tracy?

Um, Paula will show you to your room,
uh, Miss Lorne.

Al, could you?

There's, um, hot water for a bath,
and coffee whenever you're ready.

I'll be ready in 20 minutes.

[HEDLEY WHISTLES]

How will you fix the foundation?

I think you've just lost one.

- Uh, come on, I'll buy you a drink.
- Heh.

I'm bathed and repented, Dr. Tracy.

I'm very much in need of that coffee.

Sure you wouldn't like pink gin instead?
Marsh tossed it for me.

No, coffee will be fine, thanks.

Well.

[CLARENCE GROWLS]

What is that?

Oh, that's Clarence.
He's harmless.

JANET: He's cross-eyed.
- Yes, uh, strabismus. Just like humans.

We hope to cure him some day.

Do you think he sees double?

He never told me.

This place specializes
in the unexpected.

In all sizes.

MARSH: Well, that's, uh, more of our
study of interspecies relationships.

We discovered that lions and tigers
are simply not natural enemies.

And we're learning what, um,
makes animals fearful or hostile.

Well, for example,
you see those chimps?

Well, they were born in captivity,
and raised with affection.

So, no fear.

Even of, uh, hereditary enemies.

JANET: You'd think they'd be
at least a little cautious.

MARSH: I'm afraid nobody ever told
them they're supposed to be scared.

Oh, look, look,
he's hitting him with a stick, ha, ha.

They certainly are resourceful.

MARSH: They're also having a lot of fun.
JANET: Yes.

Well, it's very interesting.
But as you know, Dr. Tracy...

...I'm reviewing a number of foundation
projects and expenditures.

- Including ours?
- Uh....

Uh, Miss Lorne, this is Jack Dane.
He's doing his graduate work in zoology.

He's my assistant.
Jack, this is Miss Janet Lorne.

- Miss Lorne.
- How do you do?

To answer your question,
I'm here for two reasons.

To bring our foundation reports
up to date...

...and to see whether your request for
additional funds is necessary.

Yes, Jack, will you get the worksheets
and reports for Miss Lorne, please?

Of course. Excuse me.

Miss Lorne, if you'll come with me,
I can show you...

...why some of these additional
expenses are justified...

...and necessary, hmm?

And this is Luke. My other assistant.

- George Lukulay, to be formal.
- How do you do?

Miss Janet Lorne.

- From the foundation?
- Yes. Mm-hm.

How wonderful.

Uh, maybe now
we can get some equipment...

...that was built
after the first world war.

Mr. Lukulay, can you think of any
practical results of your work here?

Well, the anti-venom.

With the help of this troublemaker
over here, and his relatives...

...we've improved
snake venom antidotes...

...and we're working on immunization.

And our studies in muscular strength.

Sure, a chimpanzee under stress
can pull 10 times as much as a man.

Does that justify a small fortune
in special equipment?

This electron microscope
and generator you asked for...

...costs $30,000.

Well, it's essential
for developing various vaccines.

Against East Coast Fever, for one.

Which is killing our local animals,
right now.

We generally invest money like that
in research to benefit people.

If the animals die,
many of my people will die also.

[GROWLING]

Well, how was the guided tour?

A little too well-guided.

By the way, can I have that drink now
you promised me a little while ago?

Splendid.

[GROWLS]

Well, what is it, Clarence?

That cheetah out there has been
prowling about for half an hour.

Really? It might be one we treated.

Whenever we treat an animal,
we mark it.

There it is.

MARSH:
Hmm....

Ah.

There it is.

The splash of yellow dye
on his backside.

Better keep out of his hospital,
Miss Lorne.

- He does that to all his patients.
- Ha, ha.

Well, it's just so they won't forget me.

But this one certainly hasn't.

I wonder what brought him back here.
Hmm.

Frightened, maybe, by a gunshot.

A gunshot?
Here, on the reserve?

On the way to meet Miss Lorne,
we ran across a wounded zebra.

It was about 15 miles east,
toward the main road.

- There wasn't anyone in sight.
- Roy Meadows.

He'd stay out of sight.

Ah, the weary life of a civil servant.

You will excuse me, won't you?
I have to look for Meadows.

- Who?
- Meadows, with an "M."

- As in, murder.
- Murder?

HEDLEY:
Actually, that's why I'm prowling about.

This Meadows was an old bush hand.

He went into partnership
with a fellow after minerals.

They sailed upriver together,
and Meadows came back, alone.

- He killed his partner?
- That's the suspicion, Paula, my pet.

At any rate, he's ducked out, run.

He's either too far,
or the borders close. But, still.

That's why I'm to look about here.

If he shot a zebra today,
he might shoot a man tomorrow.

You will excuse me,
won't you, Miss Lorne?

Bye, all.

Well, something's bothering
that cheetah.

I'm sorry, Miss Lorne, but I'm afraid
I'll have to check this out.

- Jack will show you around the place.
- I've seen hospitals and zoos.

It's your field studies
that I'm interested in.

- Would you mind if I came with you?
- Well, not at all. I'd be delighted.

Oh, uh, Paula,
could you plan dinner for around, uh, 7?

- That should give us plenty of time.
- Can do, bwana.

[SPEAKING IN SWAHILI]

[SCREECHES]

Well, end of the ride.

Can't drive down this.

Look, he really does
want us to follow him.

Okay, let's go.

Judy, you stay here.

[GIBBERING]

[CHEETAH GROWLING]

MARSH:
So that's it.

His mate. He couldn't get her out.

He's a wild animal, Marsh.

And he came to you, just like a dog.

No, like a man.

He needed help, he asked for it.

Janet, now stay away from the edge.
Get back.

[SCREECHES]

Janet, don't move, stay right there.

- Are you all right?
- My leg.

Don't move. Don't move.
Easy. Easy.

It hurts.

Yeah.

You've got a bad laceration...

...and it's broken.

Broken?

[CHEETAH GROWLS]

[SCREAMING]

MEADOWS:
Springbok.

Very tasty to a man
with an empty stomach.

District Officer Hedley, I presume?

It's quite illegal to shoot springbok
in a game reserve.

But I'll cede a point
if you're ready to be cooperative.

- But I'm not.
- Do be sensible, Meadows.

- You'll get your day in court.
- Not if I can help it.

Now, move back. Carefully.

[HEDLEY YELLS]

- That's right, nothing hasty.
- Now, move over there, Hedley.

Meadows, I'm still ready to be
cooperative, if you'll give yourself in.

Hedley, be careful
with that bleeding heart of yours...

...you might bleed to death.

[SIGHS]

Okay, easy.

Thattagirl.

Here.

Have some water.

- Thank you.
- Mm-hm.

It's lucky there was a doctor
in the house.

The medical kit's back on the truck.

Now, look,
drink all the water you want.

I'll get something for the pain
so we can get you out of here, huh?

Be right back.

- Marsh?
- Yeah.

What about the animals?

[PURRING]

Oh, there's nothing
to worry about there.

Unprovoked animals never attack.

Look, I, uh, know it isn't easy,
but just try and relax.

And, um, please, don't go anywhere.

PAULA: You're lucky
your friend Meadows is a bum shot.

He's an excellent shot.
But he's also a wily fellow.

There's no assurance he'll be
convicted of murdering his partner.

But if he killed me, well, the government
frowns on killing district officers.

Especially out of season
on a game reserve.

Oh, very funny.

- Pink gin?
- Heh, you're forgiven.

Ah.
And I did put a shot in him at that.

- Hey, good. Where'd you get him?
- Right in the petrol tank.

[HEDLEY AND PAULA CHUCKLE]

When his tank runs dry,
we shall snap him up.

If you can do that in the next few hours,
you're invited to dinner.

Accepted. Thank you.

Warn Marsh I intend to monopolize
that stunning Miss Lorne.

I'll tell him as soon as they get back.

- Ooh, that stunning Miss Lorne.
- She is beautiful.

Jack Dane, that is the most
disloyal thing I've ever heard.

Well, she is...beautiful.

[SNIFFS]

I'm not provoking you.

[GROWLS]

[BOTH SCREECHING
AND GROWLING]

[HYENA LAUGHING]

Hedley?

Hedley?

Hedley!

Not exactly.

You must be Roy Meadows.

And you are Daktari Marsh Tracy.

And this is a rifle.

Where's Hedley? Did you kill him?

No, I didn't have to,
and I hope I won't have to kill you.

Now, move back.

I just ran a little low on gas.

I'll need your car, and enough
provisions to get me to the border.

I hope it's insured.

- Now, wait a minute. Wait a minute.
- Keep going.

There's a girl with a fractured leg
in the valley.

I need my medical kit
and my truck to get her home.

Sorry. Now lie down, flat.

Don't you understand? There's
an injured human being down there.

If she doesn't get help,
she could die of infection.

And if I'm caught,
I could die of the shock.

In other words, I don't care, Tracy.

Lie down,
or I'll put a bullet through you.

Judy, start the truck.

That's the oldest trick ever, Tracy.

- There's nobody else here.
MARSH: Go on.

[HORN HONKING]

Judy, quick.

[JUDY GIBBERS]

- A chimp.
- Meet Judy.

There's a medical kit in there.
Get it out, carefully.

I don't think you'll shoot.

You see, I know your reputation.

Daktari. Man who heals animals.

They say you never shoot one.

I never had to.

Look, keep the transportation,
I'll just walk.

I can use your help.

But if I can't have it...

...I'll have to put a bullet in your leg
to keep you here.

All right.

Ha, ha, well, let's go.

That's better.

Where are they? It's been hours.

Oh, he's probably just giving her
the grand tour, softening her up.

Or vice versa.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

Here they come, now.

Oh, no, it's only Hedley.

- Did you find anything?
- Not a trace.

The clod located the leak
in the tank and plugged it.

We lost his trail
when he stopped losing petrol.

Where's Marsh
and the lovely Miss Lorne?

They went for a ride,
but they haven't come back yet.

They should have. It's after 6.

- I think we better go looking for them.
- Paula, it'll be dark soon.

But they're in trouble.
Clarence can sense it. Just look at him.

That's absolute nonsense.

Apart from big feet...

...Clarence bears absolutely no
resemblance to a bloodhound.

Clarence, I didn't mean it,
I was only joking.

Clarence, I was joking.

Clarence, stop it.

- There's nothing we can do tonight.
- Well, maybe you're right.

Dad did say dinner at 7,
so he'll probably be back on the dot.

Of course. He's undoubtedly giving
Miss Lorne the complete tour.

That's what I'm afraid of.

We'll set off first thing in the morning.
You take your car, I'll take mine.

Right.

We'll have you out of here in a minute.

You've got a way with females.
That's a pretty woman down there.

Look, Tracy.
You're no policeman.

I jumped you, you slugged me,
it's all square.

I'll help you get the girl out of the pit.

Then what do you say,
you let me get on my way, huh?

And if I don't?

If you don't,
you'd better keep that rifle handy.

Oh, I intend to.

Now, get a hold of that rope
and pull on it when I tell you.

Judy, give us a hand.

Okay, start pulling.

Okay, Meadows.
Now make a shelter for the night.

I don't wanna move her
while she's still in shock.

[SCREECHING]

For a pacifist,
you're real handy with that rifle.

It's okay, Janet.

- Who's that?
- The name's Meadows.

At your service.

Meadows?

He's all right. Uh....

As long as you keep an eye on him.

Say, do you know
how to use one of these things?

I'll try.

Well, then keep him covered
while I tie him up, huh? Thattagirl.

Stick your hand in here.
Come on, hurry up.

It's gonna be a long night, Dr. Tracy.

- I'll take a lot of watching.
- That's right.

The three of us will take turns.
And you'd better get some sleep.

Because tomorrow, you're gonna
put in a long, hard day.

Okay, thank you.

Aw, Clarence, come on, scram.

This is no joy ride, go on, scram.
Scram.

Let him come along.
His feelings will be hurt...

...and besides,
he might help in tracking.

Tracking?

Oh, could be, I guess.
Law of compensation.

- Come on, Clarence.
- Ha, ha.

Short on vision,
long on sense of smell.

Come on, let's go.

You all set?

Okay. All right, Meadows.
Get under it.

Ready? Heave-ho.

I'll head to the right.
You go to the left.

If you find anything, send up a flare.

- I need a break.
- Okay.

Hey, I could use some water too.

That's good.
The swelling's gone down.

Another half a mile to the truck
and we'll have you home in a jiffy.

I'm sorry, Marsh,
I'm just not used to being a burden.

And I guess I'm scared.

I understand, Janet.

[SIGHS]

Now, don't try and be heroic.

But don't be scared either.

Here.

Janet, cup your hand out here.

Here you go, Judy.
Here you go.

Here you go.
Here's some more.

Kick your end free.
It won't be long, now.

- Janet!
- Aah!

I told you, don't relax.

It's torn open. Bleeding.

You take care of her, Tracy.
I'm taking care of me.

Meadows.

Even with my truck,
the odds are you won't make it.

I'm gonna make a first-rate try.

Now, wait a minute.
Everybody knows my vehicle and me.

- So?
- So if I were with you...

...you'd be past across the border
without suspicion.

- All right, spell it out.
- She has to get to the hospital, fast.

You take us both with you and
I'll see that you get across the border.

Provided you drop us off
at Monduley on the other side.

All right...

...you drive.

I'll be sitting in the back.

And remember,
if there's any trouble...

...she might die.

My dad's car has passed this way.

- How can you tell?
- The tire tracks. I know the treads.

Oh, great.
I study zoology for six years...

...wind up a chauffeur
to a teenage Indian scout.

Jealous? After all,
I've spent most of my life here.

[CLARENCE GROWLS]

Hey, Clarence's got a scent.

I refuse to believe that a lion,
especially Clarence...

...can differentiate between one set
of tire tracks and another.

Well, look, he's tracking.

Come on, follow him.

Hedley! Hedley! Over here.

Follow us.

Well, that's not dad's.

As a matter of fact, it's mine.

- Meadows.
- I'm afraid so.

Tracy's truck was here
until just a little while ago.

Well, Meadows must have found them,
and daddy and Miss Lorne.

Hmm, quite. Apparently,
commandeered their truck.

Probably heading for the border.

Dad's canteen.

Look.

- What is it?
- It's blood.

Human blood.
Somebody's been hurt.

Stop crawling, Tracy.

Every time we bump, Janet feels
as if she were hit with a hammer.

Once we're on the other side
of the river, I'll relax.

So we'll just keep her rolling.

We found a trail of paper.

- That's dad's notebook.
- The paper's fresh, it hasn't dried out.

- How long has it been there?
- Not longer than an hour, maybe less.

- Well, let's hurry.
- Wait.

Meadows is clearly heading for the river.
The border's beyond.

I'll cut straight across,
try and head him off.

- You just stay on his track.
- Right.

HEDLEY: And look here.
And I mean this for you, Paula.

Meadows is armed
and quite dangerous.

No heroics.
If you spot them, simply follow.

Don't try a daring rescue.

With what? All we have is a hypodermic
gun and that cross-eyed cat. Come on.

How deep is the cave?

Oh, it's a ford.

Not too deep, about knee high.

All right...

...now you go ahead
and walk across.

I'll follow.

Oh, no.

I wanna know how deep it is.

Keep going.

[GIBBERING]

[CHUCKLES]

Nice try, Tracy.

I may be desperate,
but I'm not stupid.

Now, come on back,
and we'll try it lower down the river.

[GROANING]

PAULA:
Stop.

Stop, Clarence wants something.

What is it, Clarence?

Clarence, where are you going?

He's going over to the water.

- He's probably just thirsty.
- No, he's trying to tell us something.

- I'll follow him, you take the truck.
- Okay.

[INAUDlBLE]

MEADOWS:
All right, you drive.

HEDLEY:
All right, Meadows.

Take his rifle, Sergeant.

Unh! I'll kill the girl.

Drop your gun, Hedley.

Now!

[JUDY CHATTERS]

[GROWLING]

[PANTING]

You know, it's ironic.

Roy Meadows, a killer,
captured by pure affection.

Paula, Jack, come on.

Come on, Paula, Jack,
we need your signature. Come on.

Thanks, Luke. Your turn, Jack.

Your signature, right here.

Right there? Yes, ma'am.

[CLARENCE GROWLS]

Clarence, sit.

Janet, why don't you stay here with us
until you get this cast off your leg, huh?

I'd love to.

But they're waiting for my report
in New York.

Paula, your turn.

- You're next, Marsh.
- Okay.

And here...

...is my signature for you.

Well, Janet, this is much more
than I'd ever hoped for.

What is it? It's an order blank.

- The electron microscope.
- We got it?

- We got it! We got it!
- We got it! We got it!

[ALL LAUGHING]

You really didn't have to do this.

I've seen the work you're doing here.

Your medical aid training program
for local tribesmen.

Your production of anti-venom.

And the idea for a serum
for East Coast Fever.

I realize how badly
you need modern equipment.

Thank you.

- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.

[LAUGHS]

Look, his signature.

[LAUGHS]

Clarence.

I wish there were two of you...

...you silly cat.
