"♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "MARSH:" "Still won't eat, huh?" "No." "Poor baby." "Anything, dad?" "No." "Not a sign, not a track, not a clue." "It's the fourth day." "It's never been this long." "I know, I know." "Mike find anything around the compound?" "No, not a thing." "Perhaps he'll have better luck out in the bush." "And I still haven't been able to reach Bart." "I guess his safari's out of radio range." "Hedley's on vacation." "Just when we needed everybody the most." "Marsh, this is Mike." "Do you read me?" "Yes, Mike." "I read you." "Anything?" "No, but I've alerted the villages, and Hedley's askaris are out looking." "Well, that's good." "Well look, Mike." "You might as well come on in." "We'll try again first thing in the morning." "Right." "Out." "I thought I heard the radio." " Did anybody" " Well no, not yet, honey." "But they will." "Now listen," "I don't want you to worry any more about this, huh?" "I also want you to eat." "Just a little bite." "You haven't eaten all day." "I'm not hungry, thank you." "Oh Jenny, you're gonna have to eat something." "Now what're they gonna think if you're sick when we find them?" "If you find them, then I'll eat." "Why don't you say it?" "Say what, honey?" "What you're thinking, but you won't tell me." "Hey." "Listen, you mustn't think that." "Everything's gonna be all right." "Yeah." "We're gonna find them, Jenny." "No, you won't." "I know it." "They're dead." "Clarence and Judy are dead." "COMMISSIONER:" "We've got them all at it, Marsh." "And if I hear anything at all, I'll radio you immediately." "Well, that's wonderful, commissioner." "Thanks again." "Out." "Well, the district commissioner has his entire staff out looking." "Oh, good." "That makes half the territory out searching." " She still won't eat, huh?" " Nope." "And there's nothing that I can say will convince her that Judy and Clarence aren't dead." "What're you doing with Judy's old treasure chest?" "Oh, before Mike left this morning, we were looking at some of Judy's old mementos." "You know, things that she and Clarence have accumulated on some of their adventures?" "Well, Mike's checking out the area where some of these scenes took place hoping to find a clue, an idea, just anything." "That's a good idea." "Dad, can I help in the search?" "Sure, you bet you can, honey." "I just wish there was something we could do for Jenny." "I just can't let her go on not eating like this." "You know something?" "Maybe I can help with that." "Paula, you remember when you were around Jenny's age," "I used to snap you out of moods when you were feeling sad." "Remember how I did it?" "You used to tell me stories, animal stories." " Mm-hm." " Oh, I get it." "Yes... in this box are a lot of items that well represent, shall we say, escapades?" "Of course, we don't know everything that happened, but" "Oh, I'm sure you'll fill in the details." "Good luck, dad." "Paula?" "Listen, if you find anything, hear anything, even a rumor..." "Radio." "Oh, I will." "Jenny, honey, would you come here a minute?" "I'd like to talk to you." "Come on over here a second, would you?" "Here." "Just sit down right there, huh." "Jenny..." "I'd like to talk to you about Clarence and Judy." " You found them?" " Oh no, not yet." "But Jenny... we didn't know much about you when you came here first, did we?" "And you didn't know much about us, did you?" "And of course you didn't know any- thing about Clarence and Judy either." "Let me tell you something, young lady." "They had quite a life of their own." "I don't understand." "Well, I..." "I think you will when I tell you something about them." "Like, when they disappeared before." "They disappeared before?" "Oh, yes." "Matter of fact, your pals got into so much trouble, you wouldn't believe it." "They did?" "When?" "Well, I'm just gonna tell you about that." "You see all these things here in this box?" "Well, each of these things tells a sort of a... a special story about Judy and Clarence." " They do?" " Oh, yes, they certainly do." "A baby bottle." "That's right." "You know, this reminds me of the very first time Judy disappeared." "You know where she went?" "She went to visit her friend Agnes, the lioness, and to see her new cubs." "And also to warn her about some poacher traps that were in the area." "Naturally, her old buddy Clarence just had to tag along." "Well, when Judy and Clarence arrived, all was peaceful and happy." "But as Agnes started over to say hello to her two friends," "Judy and Clarence tried to warn her about those poacher traps." "But if Agnes understood, it was too late." "Suddenly, with a whoosh, Agnes got caught in the poacher's net." "And up she went, hanging in the air like a sack of potatoes." "Judy and Clarence were all disturbed." "There was nothing they could do for Agnes at the moment." "But there was something she could do and must do for those cubs." "And that was to get them back to Wameru and to us." "For if left alone and unprotected, those cubs would never last long in the bush." "But Wameru was a long, long way off and trying to discipline three spunky lion cub is not exactly easy." "Even for old babysitters like Judy and Clarence." "But after a while, the babies got Judy's motherly message, and, with the cubs in tow... er, more or less in tow... the long, dangerous journey back to Wameru began." "With the confused and disgruntled cries of Agnes, still in the net, ringing in their ears." "It was a hot day and they hadn't gone very far when the cubs made it clear they were thirsty." "But unfortunately, the only water hole in the area was the river." "Which was inhabited by a group of hungry crocodiles." "Sure enough, the crocs spotted the defenseless cubs, and started after them." "Closer, closer." "Judy screamed and hollered to warn them, but the cubs paid no attention to her." "And at the moment it looked as if the journey would come to a rather unfortunate end, right then and there." "But, you know how cubs are." "Always curious and inquisitive." "(LAUGHS)" "Well, it was the curiosity that actually saved them." "For even that nasty old croc wouldn't believe it when the cubs started to play with it." "In fact, I don't think a crocodile in the whole world has ever had a lion cub on his back before, tickling him." "Funny as it was, Judy knew this was one game that had to end soon." "And with Clarence supplying vocal encouragement, she went into action." "First, she threw fistfuls of dirt to delay any fatal charge." "Then in desperation, she found an old stick and did a little croc-tickling of her own." "Luckily, between the cubs and Judy, the croc had had enough adventure for one day." "Clarence wasn't too sure of the results." "So he decided to take a head count of his own." "Woops." "Judy decided to take a shortcut." "Which meant passing Kanobi village." "Luckily, all the men were away working." "But when that fearsome fivesome showed up," "I don't know who was more surprised." "The cubs, or the chief's wife." "How was she to know Clarence was just really a big pussycat?" "When she spotted him, she raced into the safety of her hut." "But those little guys were still mighty curious." "And since they had never seen a native hut before, man, it wasn't long before they made it right up to the top." "Judy raced right up after them, begging them to come down." "Which they finally did." "But it wasn't exactly what Judy had in mind." "The chief's wife was now frightened half to death as those rascals, and Judy, too, came tumbling in on her." "And if things weren't bad enough, old Clarence thought he'd come in and join the party." "(CLARENCE ROARS)" "(CHIEF'S WIFE SCREAMS)" "MARSH:" "And that was the last straw." "I think that poor woman may still be running." "Well, your pals managed to keep the cubs out of further mischief until they finally reached Wameru, weary and tired." "I think, Jenny, you can imagine my surprise when I saw that motley crew." "They were as much of a handful for me as they had been for Judy." "They were mighty hungry now, and it was pal Judy who did the honors." "But for her, the adventure wasn't quite over yet." "That night, when Paul and I went out to find Agnes, their mother, the cubs insisted that Judy put them to bed." "You know, like I do you." "But somehow I have the feeling Judy didn't sleep a wink all night long." "Luckily we found Agnes before the poachers did, and when we brought her back home for a reunion with the cubs, happy as they were, it didn't compare to the joy and the relief that Judy felt." "JENNY:" "Gee." "What's this, Daktari?" "Well, it sure doesn't look like much of anything now, does it?" "Once upon a time, this was a very, very fancy pillow." "It was a gift to Paula." "MARSH:" "Since Paula had packed the pillow away in her hope chest, along with some valuable silver," "I imagine Judy thought she just didn't want it anymore." "So, why not lend it to Clarence?" "To make his afternoon naps just a little more comfortable." "Well, when no one was around, she borrowed it." "(JUDY SQUEALS)" "(BIRDS SQUAWK)" "MARSH:" "Unfortunately, Clarence wasn't used to such luxury, and didn't realize Judy's gift was meant to be slept on." "Or perhaps he was still hungry." "At any rate, he thought it was something to eat." "And when Judy realized what was happening, it was too late." "Poor Judy tried everything to get that pillow back." "In one piece, if possible." "Which led to the wildest pillow fight in the history of the animal kingdom." "When Paula came by, Judy ran off and hid, swearing Clarence to silence." "Paula had a pretty good idea who was responsible." "Judy took this, didn't she?" "Oh, it figures!" "Oh..." "MARSH:" "Seeing how angry Paula was," "Judy thought it might be a good idea if she and her partner in mayhem left the premises until Paula's anger had abated." "(CLARENCE ROARS)" "By herself, Judy could hide out anywhere." "But finding a place to hide Clarence was, well, a different matter." "But then Judy remembered an old, abandoned camera blind." "An ideal hide-out." "Except for one thing." "That blind was 60 feet in the air and the only way up for a 500-pound lion, was the hand-operated elevator." "But, first things first." "Despite his fear of height, she managed to coax Clarence into the lift." "Fine." "But now, how was she going to get him up?" "Poor Judy was pretty stymied." "Until as luck would have it, she spotted Margie taking her daily constitutional." "Well, since Margie was in quest of exercise, well, the solution to both problems seemed obvious." "But would Margie aid the conspirators?" "For Judy, of course she would." "(MARGIE TRUMPETS)" "Judy thanked Margie for her help and also made her promise not to tell on the two runaways." "Was he scared?" "Oh, no." "He was just thirsty and hungry." " And you know what happened then?" " What?" " Judy had to sneak back for supplies." " She did?" "MARSH:" "Judy figured, if she could bring his old ox bone to him, he might feel a lot more secure about the situation." "So, she made for the compound." "And... the meat locker." "Unfortunately, Clarence wasn't the only animal in the reserve who liked old ox bones." "And when Leonard the leopard spotted Judy, it was all she could do to save herself." "There would be no ox bone for Clarence to chew on today." "By now, he was really getting hungry." "Yes, sir." "Poor old Clarence was really in trouble." "(ROOSTER CROWS)" "Clarence!" "Sarang, have you seen Clarence?" "Clarence!" "MARSH:" "By now, realizing the danger they were in, wherever they were, all of us were out looking for them." "And suspecting that Judy might try another sneak raid for food, we set Clarence's food out as bait." "Sure enough, Judy snapped at the bait." "And when we cornered her, she wasted no time taking us to Clarence." "Did you punish Clarence?" "No, but I bet you can guess what happened to Judy." "I bet you made her do lots of chores." "You bet I did." "MARSH:" "Each morning, as you know, we have the animals to feed." "And this time it happened to be the dry season, so the animals had to be watered as well." "Suddenly we noticed that Judy was giving a little more than her share to Margie." "For past favors rendered, no doubt." "Also, the porch had to be swept." "But Judy found a way to involve Clarence in that unpleasant detail." "Then Doris had to be milked." "And you know how Clarence loves milk." "So he came out better than we did." "What's this?" "(BOTH LAUGH)" "Well, this is an ostrich feather." "What a pity it didn't exactly tickle Judy's fancy." "MARSH:" "Judy heard that Henrietta, her ostrich pal, was about to hatch her eggs." "So off she and Clarence went." "No sooner had they arrived when Judy spotted a pack of cheetahs, lurking nearby." "Since Henrietta's mate was not around," "Judy yelled out a warning to Henrietta who, being a good mother, decided the only way she could save her unborn chicks, was to set herself up as a decoy." "And that was to lead those cheetahs away from her nest." "(CHEETAH GROWLS)" "So off Henrietta ran, with the cheetahs in pursuit." "She ran for miles and miles, taking those cheetahs further and further away from her unborn brood." "Well, the eggs were safe for the time being, but Judy knew she'd have to hide and protect them." "For ostrich eggs are a delicacy for just about every animal." "With Clarence to reinforce her constant vigil, those eggs seemed safe for a while." "Until a python showed up." "Despite the danger involved, Judy knew she had to do something." "And she whipped into action." "And with vocal encouragement from Clarence, she gave that old python what-for." "But now Judy realized that she was going to have to find Henrietta." "And fast." "Or those eggs would never hatch." "So, leaving Clarence to stand..." "er, sit guard, off she went." "Luckily, Judy found Henrietta and her mate just in time." "And, with Judy and Clarence serving as jungle midwives," "Henrietta gave birth to the cutest and healthiest baby ostriches ever born on the reserve." "What's this?" "This?" "Oh, this is just an old souvenir." "A s..." "That's what I thought it was." "You did, huh." "Well, believe it or not, this is how we happened to get Toto." "Really?" "Would you please tell me how it happened?" "Well uh, as near as I can figure," "Judy just happened to..." "borrow these." "MARSH:" "Well, they're called dog tags." "I wore them in the army for identification." "I suppose Judy "borrowed" them the day she went off to visit the chimp family as proof she had a home and family of her own." "Henrietta made that trip just a little bit shorter." "Well, when Judy arrived, she noticed there was a new addition to the group." "A cute little baby chimp who seemed to not belong to anyone." "And suddenly, while she watched in horror, the baby fell from the tree." "Judy realized at once the baby was hurt badly and needed immediate medical attention." "So she picked her up and started back to Wameru." "And to us." "But it was a long and dangerous journey through leopard country." "Only this time, carrying the injured baby chimp," "Judy knew she couldn't outrun or outfox the leopard." "Luckily, there was a tree nearby." "(LEOPARD ROARS)" "The leopard sensed Judy's helplessness, and higher and higher he jumped." "And when all hope seemed gone, Judy spotted Patrick, an elephant we had once treated at the compound." "Who obliged with a mighty trumpet, and scared the leopard away." "Tired and weary, Judy made it back to Wameru just in time." "For Toto, that was Toto, needed instant and constant medical attention." "We did everything we could for Toto." "But she was awfully sick." "Awfully sick." "Guess who took over as nurse." " Judy?" " That's right." "Judy." "Was she a good nurse?" "Oh-ho." "She was just about the very best there was." "MARSH:" "Well, Judy sat with Toto night and day." "Providing the companionship that Toto needed as badly as medicine." "(ALARM RINGS)" "And every two hours, it was Judy who checked the mixture of medicine and formula." "And got Toto to take it." "It was touch-and-go for days, but finally Toto recovered completely." "Gee, that was a good story." "Oh, there's a little more to it than that." " There is?" " Oh, yes." "Yes, you see..." "Judy thought that, well, the chimpanzee family should know that Toto was all well again, and found a family." "So, without our even knowing it, off she went again." "Wow." "MARSH:" "Although she told them Toto had recovered and was doing fine," "I guess the chimp family insisted on seeing for themselves." "And with Judy leading the way back to Wameru, off they all went." "Judy knew that leopard would put in another appearance, so she tried to keep all her friends together." "She didn't want to scare them, so she told them that Toto would be anxious to see them, and could they please speed it up?" "Just as she predicted, there was the leopard." "And since Patrick wasn't around," "Judy knew it was up to her to take care of that leopard." "Well, luring the leopard ever closer," "Judy found a branch catapult." "And pulling as hard as she could, she let him have it, right in the whiskers." "Toto sensed their nearness now, and her cries of welcome egged the chimp family on." "But the chimp reunion was not what Judy had in mind." "You see, the chimp family had never seen a clinic before." "So I suppose they thought it was something Judy put there as a playpen for the whole family." "What happened next was sheer bedlam." "And no amount of pleading by Judy could stop that avalanche of destruction." "You know, that chimp family might be there yet, if all that noise hadn't woken Clarence up." "And no one was going to disturb his noon day nap." "And he told them so." "(CLARENCE ROARS)" "So off they went, leaving a mess that took weeks to clean up." " But we got Toto." " Oh yes, we got Toto." "(MONKEY CHITTERING)" "So you see, honey." "Judy and Clarence can take care of themselves." "You know what I think?" "I think they're out there in the bush right now, they're just trying to help" "(CAR BRAKING)" "I'm afraid I have some bad news about Clarence and Judy." "They're dead." "I knew it." "Clarence and Judy are dead." "JENNY:" "You lied!" "Clarence and Judy are dead!" "Jenny!" "Dead?" "Clarence and Judy?" "Who said they were dead?" "I didn't say that." " But they're not moving." " Oh-ho." "They're dead to the world because they're worn out, but they're very much alive, I assure you." "Hedley!" "Boy, what on earth is this all about?" "Where did you find them and what do you mean, "dead to the world"?" "Marsh, if you give me a chance I'll tell you." "I didn't find them, I took them with me." " You what?" " On my vacation, like I always do." "Like you always do?" "Hedley, the last vacation you took was three years ago." "I mean, why didn't you tell us something when you picked them up?" "Oh, Marsh, I did about ten times, but you and Mike had your noses glued to that microscope and you kept saying, "Sure, sure, Hedley"" " and shooed me out of the lab." " Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute." "Was that the time Mike and I thought we had a cure for East Coast fever?" " Yes." " Oh, yes..." "I'm sorry, Hedley, you're right, but I've..." "You could see we were busy, for crying out loud and why in heaven's name didn't you at least leave a note?" "Marsh, of course I left a note." "What do you take me for?" "I wrote out a very clear note, I placed it in my wallet," "I came in here, I took the note out of my wallet, and I put it on the table, just like that." "Now, Marsh, I have to tell you about Judy and Clarence." "They wore me out, no sleep at all." "Look at me." "And you would not believe the trouble those" "Hedley, will you save it?" "I've had enough Clarence and Judy- stories for one day." "But Marsh, I haven't told you anything yet." "Ah, well." "Perhaps it's just as well." "No one would believe me if I told them about those two rascals." "Or would they?" "♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "(English US" " SDH)"
