"♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "PAULA:" "Abner, you're a colossal disappointment." "JENNY:" "Why are you mad at Abner?" "Oh, I'm not mad at him." "Oh, you guys." "It's just, I've been working on an experiment with him for the last two weeks and it reads negative." "Have to do it all over again." "What does "reads negative" mean?" "Well, 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." "It's all in the name of science." "Daktari never told me experiments go wrong." "Well, sometimes grown-ups don't tell children enough, and sometimes they can tell them too much." "So you're just gonna have to trust us." "Now why don't you run along?" "I'm very busy." "But I wanna stay here." "Go on, play." "Scoot!" "Looks like that tranquilizing solution you put in her food is taking effect." "Your last check still showed the same results, huh?" "Oh, yes." "The milk is infected." "Little 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?" "I think so." "It might be to get him a foster mother." "I think we're all right now." " JENNY:" "Good morning, Daktari." " Oh, hi, honey." "I thought you were gonna have a poetry lesson with Hedley." " He didn't come yet." "Hi, Mike." " Hello, sweetheart." "What have you been up to today?" "Oh, nothing, just watching Paula make speriment go wrong." "Oh-ho." "Well, let's hope we have more luck with this... speriment." "Why is she sleeping?" "What are you gonna do?" "Oh, she's just taking a nap, honey." "We're gonna put Herman in another cage." "Won't she be lonesome?" "Hm-mm." "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?" "Marsh, she'll be coming too soon." "But what does wean mean?" "I'll explain later." "Now, honey, run along." "Here's Hedley now." "Can I come back and see Herman?" "Later, Jenny." "Later." "Now, scoot, come on, scoot, scoot." "Now, Judy, this is an out-and-out bribe." "I give you this, and you promise to stay out of Jenny's lesson for that." "JENNY:" "Officer Hedley." "Jenny, Jenny, bright 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 me." "Well, explain to me what will happen to a cub if it's taken from its mother and it's not weaned yet." "Ah..." "Well, you know, animal husbandry's 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, and get on with the poetry?" "Oh, bother, I left my poetry book in the car." "I'll be back in a minute, Jenny." "Judy, Daktari is taking Herman away from its mother and Hedley said he'll probably die." "Well, after our lesson today," "I'm gonna see Herman, and see if he's all right." "Marsh, maybe you'd better wait." "Oh, I think it's all right now." "Soon as I get him, I'll hand him out to you." "(ROARING)" "Easy, girl, I'm not gonna hurt your cub." "Easy." "Easy, easy...." "Yeah, that's it." "All right." "MIKE:" "Look out, Marsh." "(GROWLING)" "(GROWLING)" "That was close." "You all right?" "Oh yeah, I'm fine." "Dad, what's all that roaring about?" "Oh, nothing much." "Mama just didn't appreciate our efforts on her behalf." "She has a low-grade infection." "We had to take her cub away." " Is it serious?" " No, no, no." "I just started her already on medication." "She should be all right in no time but in the mean time she shouldn't nurse." "Oh, Paula, would you get Herman for me?" " I'll put him in his 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 feeding on his own." " But won't Herman smell her?" "No, he's too young." "You know, Mike, we... we should get a long rope and tie her to that log just in case." "All right, I'll get Herman's milk first." "Okay." "Hey, Paula?" "Where's Toto?" "Miss Pearce should be along pretty soon." "Take her to Ngoro." "Oh, I haven't forgotten." "When Toto found out she was gonna 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 better get Toto and her costume ready." "Miss Pearce should be here any minute." "Okay." "Ah, here we are." "Now, Judy, you have your bribe." "Take your fruit away somewhere and don't bother us." "That's the way, Judy!" "Away you go." "That's a good girl." "(GROWLING)" "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 all now." "I'll tell you what we'll do." "We'll change the poetry course to... creative rhyming." "Yes." "That means that we make up our own poems about things we love." "That'll be fun." "You go first." "All right." "Now, the lion is the king of the beasts." "Because he enjoys the largest feast." "Because he has the kind of cunning that sets the animal kingdom running." "That's wonderful, Hedley." "Do another one." "About Judy." "About Judy?" "Ooh, 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, factually, 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." "(HEDLEY):" "Oh!" "(JUDY CHATTERING)" "Gee, Hedley." "When did you teach Judy that?" "Hehe, yes." "It's all very well for you to laugh." "Now, go on." "You make up a poem now." "Hmm." "When Hedley fell he didn't feel so well." "(LAUGHS) Well done!" "You are an extraordinary child." "(BRITISH ACCENT) "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 got a bit carried away." "All righty." "That ought to give you enough room to move around in." "Okay, young fellow." "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." "(GROANING)" "Now can I take him to the nursery with the other baby animals?" "No, not yet, Jenny." "He has to be weaned first." "(GROANING)" "But Daktari, babies belong with their mother." "Honey, I've already told you, he cannot take his mother's milk." "Then your speriment's wrong." "I want Herman, I'll take care of him." "Now 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..." "Jenny, I don't know what's upset you... but you're just going to have to trust me right now." "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." "Well, if this is gonna fail then I have a more pressing problem" "I'd sure find out." "Come on, let's try him on the milk." "All right." "Here we go." "(GROANING)" "Here we go." "That's it." "Yeah." "Hey, here now." "Good." "No foster mother for him." "Yeah, looks that way." "Uh, Mike?" "Would you mind waiting here until he finishes?" "I want to see what's eating Jenny." "All right." "Thank you, Sergeant." "Out." "Ah." "Dad, how's Herman?" "Oh, Herman?" "He's fine." "He's feeding on his own now." "Um, Paula, have you seen Jenny?" "She's resting." "I took a tray in to her." "I guess Hedley must've exhausted her with his poetry in motion." "Well, it's pretty heady stuff, creative poetry." "But I must say, Marsh," "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." "Oh, Miss Pearce won't be here for hours yet." "Toto, why don't you help me clean up the dishes?" "But... er..." "Miss Pearce?" "How do you know that?" "HEDLEY:" "Sergeant Kuwanga called and said that she'd been delayed, but she'd make it by dinner time." "Well, I must be off." "Oh, I'll walk down with you." "If Miss Pearce comes, call me, will you, Paula?" "Men..." "Well, Señorita Contessa, as Hedley would say:" "There is work afoot." "Come on, help me with the dishes." "Then I called Daktari a bad man." "But he is gonna hurt Herman." "(CHITTERING)" "You heard what Hedley said." "Whose friend are you, anyways?" "Well, Daktari 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." "(CAR HORN)" "Ah!" "MARSH:" "Well, hello there." "Ooh, hello." " Here, let me get that." " Thank you." "I'm sorry I'm late." "I had a flat tire." "I'm a mess." "Well, frankly, on you 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, I'm starved." "(ELEPHANT TRUMPETS)" "Do you think I was bad, Judy?" "I guess Daktari never hurt anyone." "I should apologize." "I bet I get punished bad for what I said." "All right, if you say so." "You wanna come?" "All right, I'll tell him myself." "Then we'll be friends again." "I better comb my hair, 'cause Daktari always wants me to look pretty." "MISS PEARCE:" "Thank you." "And if Hedley's sergeant hadn't come along, I'd still be there." "You'll stay over, of course." "The bazaar isn't till tomorrow afternoon." "Why, thank you, Paula." "I'd like to." "It'll give me a chance to visit with Jenny and with all of you." "By the way, how is she?" "Hmm, 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 is gonna do her act for us." "Aren't you, Toto?" "(CHITTERING)" "MISS PEARCE:" "Am I gonna have trouble with her?" "You know it's a long drive to the orphanage." "MARSH:" "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 is still asleep?" "Uh... well..." "Why don't we take a look and see, hm?" "Oh, please, don't wake her up." "Oh, I know she'd like to see you." "Besides, you know... you might be able to help me straighten out a certain situation before it becomes a problem." "Come on." "Listen, young lady." "I want you to stay right here." "MISS PEARCE:" "Oh please, Marsh, let her come." "She probably wants to see Jenny too." "Right then." "Beautiful night, beautiful lady, what do we have?" "A chimpanzee for a chaperone." "Come on." "MARSH:" "Jenny?" "Jenny?" "Jenny..." "Please don't wake her, Marsh." "We'll have a lot of time together in the morning." "Okay." "Hey, Judy, you bring that back!" "(HOOTING)" "Bring it back, Judy." "Come on." "Now you go off and play." "Toto, it's long past your bedtime." "Now, scoot." " Would you care for some more coffee?" " Please." "You know, this is a treat." "It really gives a city gal something to think about." "Well, it gives a country boy a few thoughts, too." "Thank you." "Do you have a feeling that there's a conspiracy against us?" "Well, I really have to get an early start." "Thank you, Marsh." "For what?" "A cup of cold coffee and a noticeable lack of privacy?" "No, for a lot of things." "But mostly for what you're doing for Jenny." "Goodnight." "And goodnight to you too, Judy." "Judy... one of these days you and I are gonna have to have a long talk." "Goodnight." "MISS PEARCE:" "Am I gonna have trouble with her?" "It's a long drive to the orphanage." "MARSH:" "Well, she's been acting up that way lately, but I'll have a talk with her after 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." "MISS PEARCE:" "Marsh, please don't wake her." "We'll have a lot of time together in the morning." "Judy, you've gotta help me." "Daktari's gonna send me back to the orphanage." "Tomorrow." "But it's true." "I heard him talk to Miss Pearce about taking me back." "Because I made trouble." "So I'm gonna run away." "You wanna come?" "Well, all right." "If you went to a chimp orphanage, I would help you." "I'm going now." "They're all mean around here." "You'll... you'll go?" "Good." "But... where will we go?" "You got a place?" "Oh, good." "Show me." "Wait a minute, Judy." "I'll miss you, Clarence." "You're my best friend, next to Judy." "But you'll understand when you grow up." "Hey, I almost forgot Herman." "We gotta take him with us, too." "But they're meaner to him than to us." "If we leave him here, he'll die." "Come on, Judy." "Let's not wake up its mother." "She won't understand." "You're just a baby." "You gotta keep warm." "(GROANING)" "Show me, Judy." "(BIRDS SQUAWKING)" "We gotta rest, Judy." "Herman, I guess you're not cold after all." "Judy, how much farther do we have to go?" "But it's a tree house!" "Oh, Judy, how smart you are." "(CHITTERING)" "(ELEPHANTS TRUMPETING)" "♪ (JUDY SINGS) ♪" "Oh, Herman." "Go to sleep." "(JACKAL ROARS)" "What was that?" "Don't worry, Judy." "I'll protect you." "I need a pillow, too." "(ROARING)" "Don't worry, Judy." "I'll protect you." "(GROANING)" " 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 it." "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." "Ah... would you, uh, 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've 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 now." "Toto, come on." "Here we go." "You sure you have everything now?" "Yes, we're all set." "Well... you got Toto's outfit?" "Packed in with mine." " Be sure you don't get them mixed up." " Oh, Marsh..." "Thank you." "Wish us luck with the show." "I sure do." "And if Toto gives any trouble, just let me know." "I certainly will." "She is the star, you know." " Bye bye." " Bye." "Oh, Paula, have you..." "Have you seen Jenny this morning?" "No, why?" "Oh, it's just that Miss Pearce wanted to see her before she left." "I guess she must be with Judy somewhere." "Wherever that is." "I was gonna 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 know, Herman." "I'm hungry, too." "Judy will be back any minute." "Oh, I love berries!" "Here, Herman." "Judy, we'd better tidy up." "Look." "This used to be Paula's book." "It has her name." "Daktari must've been mean to her when she was little." "She probably hided here too." "Oh, well." "Herman, you've gotta eat." "Herman needs milk." "Judy, you're gonna have to go back home and get things." "Be sure, milk." "Cookies would be nice, too." "Be sure no one sees you." "I'll read you a story until Judy gets back." "(ROARING)" "It's not very fun here, but we'll have to stay." "Jenny!" "Judy!" "Jenny!" "Judy!" "Judy!" "Judy!" "Clarence, have you seen Jenny or Judy?" "(ROARING)" "They're not in or around the house." " Any luck?" " Yeah, bad." "Herman's missing too." "Uh-oh." "What's the connection?" "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." "Hm." "Aided and abetted by Judy, I'm sure." "That's some trio to be wandering about the bush." "Yeah, Mike, better get the blue zebra." " PAULA:" "I'll come with you." " No, Paula." "I want you to stay here and alert Hedley and his men to be on the lookout and see if you can get Bart on safari." "I'll keep in touch by radio." "PAULA:" "Okay." " BART:" "Roger, Paula." "Out." " MAN:" "It certainly is delicious." "Tell me Mr. Jason." "What are we going after this afternoon?" "At your rate, I don't wanna waste a minute." "Mr. Bixbee, I wonder if you'd mind canceling your camera safari for a while." "You see, our little Jenny..." "Daktari's daughter?" "Yeah, well, it seems like 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 you agree or not." "We're going back." "Unless... unless you let me come along and help." "Thanks." "Let's pack it up." "Well, Judy skipped her favorite swimming pool." "Yeah." "We'd better find them before they need water." "Oh, 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'll probably find them." "I just hope she can cope with a seven-year-old and a baby lion cub to boot." "Well, I guess I'd better go and feed Herman's mother." "You stay here, okay?" "Don't add any insult to injury." "Oh, no." "Could they have come this far?" "I don't see how." "Come on, let's get back to Wameru." "PAULA:" "Wameru calling Marsh Tracy." "Dad, do you hear me?" "Yes, Paula." "I read you." "We're just coming in." "PAULA:" "Any luck?" "No, I'm afraid not." "Anything new there?" "Well, Herman's mother is missing from her cage." "What?" "Yeah, 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 is 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 set on it." "Oh, you sure did find a good place, Judy." "But if we're gonna live here forever, we'd better clean up." "Here, Judy." "Now clean up." "(CHITTERING)" "He's too young." "But when he grows up, he'll do chores too." "Now come on, clean up." "Bet I 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 gonna cover that area." "Listen, why don't you cover the area between quarters D and G?" "All right." "Dad." "I was over at the supply shack to get 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've gotten there." "I haven't seen it since..." "Well, since I was Jenny's age." "Well, you used to dress up when you were a kid, but..." "Paula, where did you keep those clothes?" "At the tree house." "I was always afraid you'd laugh at me, so..." "I'd go up to the tree house and play dress up by the hour." "Was that all that you noticed in the supply shack?" "Oh, it was all messed up." "It's not like Bart t" " Hey dad, you don't think..." " Yes, I do." " Judy." " But what about the lioness?" "That's what I'm worried about." "(GROANING)" "You're gonna have to go back home again." "But Herman needs more milk!" "Judy, you're gonna have to trust me." "(ROARING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(GROWLING)" "(GRUNTING)" "(SCRATCHING)" "(CLARENCE ROARS)" "(GRUNTING)" "(ELEPHANT TRUMPETS)" "Judy will be back soon." "Now, you take a nap." "We gotta take care of ourselves because grownups get busy and don't need us anymore." "Daktari asked the orphanage to take me back." "I don't have a mother like you, Herman." "But I want one just as much." "Oh, Jenny..." "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." "Daktari!" "Hiya, hun." "Come on." "I've come to take you home." "No, you don't want me." "No, Jenny." "You don't understand." "Miss Pearce came for Toto, not you." "Uh-oh." "Jenny, quick, hand me down 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." "(ROARING)" "Now, Jenny..." "You're going to have to trust me." "That lioness is going to attack any minute." "And my only chance is Herman." "You've got the gun." "Jenny, give me Herman." "I promise you he won't get hurt." "Now you must trust me." "(GROANING)" "Here." "Here's your cub." "Jenny!" "Oh, Daktari." "Listen here, young lady." "Do you realize that by taking Herman and" "I did a bad thing, didn't I, Daktari?" "That lioness 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 and if I'd just had a little more patience none of this would've happened." "I didn't understand." "Well, honey, I guess that's the whole point." "When you love someone, that means you trust them, even if you don't und-- I mean," "I get busy sometimes, I just can't explain right away, but that 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." "(GRUNTING)" "Hey, where're you going?" "Well, if I did a bad thing and you did a bad thing, then Judy must've did a bad thing." "I've gotta go tell her." "You know something?" "I don't think it's gonna be necessary." "How about it." "Shall we go home?" "Okay." "Yeah." "♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "(English US" " SDH)"
