"♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" " Get a whiff of that." " (COUGHS)" "Well, this should take the smell down." "There." "Tell you what." "Supposing we, um, we start off our little experiment on Clarence, huh?" "Ok. "Effect liquid elephant scent on test animal, namely Clarence."" "Well, you better make a note that it's African elephant scent, as Clarence is used to our Indian elephant scents with Margie and Modock being around." "Right, sir, duly noted." "Now all we have to see is if Clarence thinks it's a real African elephant." "Alrighty, Judy." "C'mon, gimme." "Gimme little baby elephant." "All right, now what we're gonna do is just douse this thoroughly." "All right. "Plush elephant thoroughly doused with liquid African elephant scent."" "Right." "Now, let's see how Clarence reacts to this." "All right, Clarence, old boy." "Let's see how you feel about this." "(GROWLS)" "Wow!" "That's what I call beating a hasty retreat." "(LAUGHS) He sure acted like it was a rogue African elephant, all right." "Well, now all we have to do is test this a little further." "It should work, because the one animal every other animal fears is an African elephant." "Yeah, and if it does work, it should help the native villages fight against their cattle lost by predators, right?" " Right." " A lion or a leopard comes close enough for a kill, instead of smelling a rat, they smell a rogue elephant and take off." "You're a very clever sorcerer, Daktari." "Mm..." "Now, supposed we try it on some of our compound animals, hm?" " All right." " Oh, Judy, go and get our little baby for us, will ya?" "C'mon." "C'mon." "(CHITTERING)" "Judy, I know it smells like an elephant, but it's just an experimental toy." "(CHITTERING)" "Hey, Judy, bring the thing along and we'll explain the whole idea later." "Come on." "(WARLOO):" "See, Mgaya?" "Another branch, grown into a double knot." "It must be very soon, now." "Jambo, Chief." "Jambo." "I am Chief Warloo." "My medicine man and friend, Mgaya." "I'm proud to meet you both." "I'm Mike Makula from Wameru Center." "You're, uh, from a northern territory, aren't you?" " Ubonga perhaps?" " Oh, no." "Lingoa." " 200 miles distant." " Lingoa, huh?" "My grandfather told me remarkable stories about your tribe." "Especially one about a famous chief of many years ago." "Of course, the legend of the Great One." "Oh, no." "Not a legend, my son." "A truth." "The Great One was truly the greatest leader in all of Africa." "When the Great One was our chief, our tribe had great herds of cattle." "Now, the cattle are almost gone." "We are poor and weak." "There's no future." "It was a proud past." "Well, there's more to the legend, isn't there?" "On his deathbed, the Great One promised that he would return to us again." "In the form of an animal of the jungle." "Yes, as courageous and as cunning as he was." "Do you know that the Great One once killed a mighty rhino with one powerful blow with his hand knife?" "That is why we have traveled so far to seek him." "The stars and the signs will tell that we will find the Great One today." "Is that so?" "Chief, you've heard of the Daktari at Wameru?" "Oh, every tribe has heard of the good works of the famous Daktari." "A friend of men and animals alike." "Good." "Wameru Center's right down this road." "Go there, Daktari will give you food and supplies for your journey home." "After you find the Great One, of course." "Oh." "Very kind of you, Mr. Makula." "We are grateful to you for your help." "Oh, and I would suggest that you stick to the roads." "Dangerous animals sometimes prowl this bush area." "Thank you." "But we must follow the signs and our destiny wherever they may lead us." "Besides, it is written that the Great One will save the lives of all of those who seek him." "So we gladly, gladly welcome danger." "Mm-hm." "Well, good luck." "Well, that's it, Marsh, a positive reaction" " from every animal on the compound." " (MARSH):" "Yes, but so far, still an experiment." " Here's some coffee." " Oh, good." "I could use some." " Me too." " Well, Jack, I think it's about time we, uh, try this out in the bush, don't you?" "(JACK):" "That sounds fine, but, uh, how do we do it?" "(MARSH):" "First you find a subject afraid of just about everything." "Then we douse the subject with the elephant scent, place the subject where there are a lot of predators around, then with a movie camera, we record what happens." " There you are." " Oh." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Well, that's quite something." "Movies and everything." "Looks like we're going to create an animal star." "Oh, Jack, you make it sound so theatrical." "Well, if the experiment is a success, it should receive a lot of notice in scientific circles." "(JACK):" "Sure, with those movies and the pictures in all the papers, that animal's going to be famous." "Hey, you 2." "Why don't you go up to the house and get me some sweet rolls?" "Go on." "(CHITTERING)" "Dad, you keep referring to this as an experiment, which means that it hasn't been perfected." " Something could go wrong." " Oh, no, I don't think so." "Besides, Jack and I will be right there with dart rifles." "Well, do you think that the elephant scent could cause a leopard or a lion" " to attack your subject?" " No." "Because I don't know of any animal that would ever attack" " a rogue elephant." " Dad..." " Mm-hm?" " Is the subject going to be Judy?" "Yes." "I mean, she's the only one with enough intelligence to make the experiment a success." "Oh, honey, the dangers are minimal." "Famous last words." ""Experiment was a success." "Oh, yes, the subject died, but for a noble cause."" "Poor Judy." "No, Judy, not Toto." "Just you." "Yes, I know that Toto is your friend, Toto's just too small." " (CHITTERING)" " Judy, we like Toto just as much as you do, but she's just plain too much of a shrimp to be a proper hero." "So you are going to be our star." "The sole center of attention, all right?" "C'mon, Toto." "Beat it." "Get lost." "Dad?" "Dad, the University at Nagora's on the radio." "They want to discuss with you the new vaccine." " They said it's very important." " Oh, ok." "Be right there." " You wanna grab those notes?" " Yeah, sure." "(MARSH VOICEOVER):" "First you select a subject that, um, will run from just about everything." "Then we douse the subject with the elephant's scent, place the subject where there are a lot of predators around, and then with the movie camera, we'll record what happens." "Hm?" "(JACK VOICEOVER):" "Judy, we like Toto just as much as you do, but she's just plain too much of a shrimp to be a proper hero." "Well, that's quite something." "Movies and everything." "We'll create an animal star." "With the movies and the pictures in the papers everywhere, that animal's going to be famous." "C'mon, Toto." "Beat it." "Get lost." "(SCREECHING)" "(SCREECHING)" "Alrighty, Judy." "I know we can't smell this, but to every other animal you're going to smell like the toughest rogue elephant that ever was." "Hey, don't worry, Judy, we're going to be with you all the time." "No matter what happens, you will never be alone." "(SCREECHING)" "(CHITTERING)" "When do you think it's gonna be, Marsh?" "We've been in this spot for over an hour now." "I don't know, Jack." "This should be a productive area." " Hi, Marsh." "Jack." " Hello, Mike." " Any action?" " No, not a doggone thing." " Nothing." " Oh." "Oh, Marsh, we may have company for dinner." " Oh, really?" "Who?" " That old chief and his medicine man from Lingoa up north." "I'll tell you about them later," " they're not too far from us now." " Oh, fine, fine." "Well, let's see if we can't get this show on the road." "Hang onto that, will you?" "All right, Judy." "Now, come here." "Come on over here." "Now, look, Judy." "We're right smack on the path to the water hole." " We should get some action soon." " (CHITTERING)" "Now, Judy, look." "There's nothing to be frightened of." "We're all right here with you, see?" "That's a good girl." "(HOOTING)" "(RUSTLING)" "(CHITTERING)" "Don't panic, girl, just don't panic." "Ok, ok." "It's all right." "Nothing's going to hurt ya." "(CHITTERING)" "For Pete's sake!" "Well, well, well, what do we have here?" "Yeah." "Well..." "Now, don't be frightened, young lady." "Yeah." "You know, she can't be more than a couple years old." "That's kind of strange." "Chimps never abandon their young." " She must be an orphan." " I think you're right." "I don't see any others around." "You know, uh, she could use a little food too." "I'll tell you what." "Take her on back to the compound," " feed her and check her over." " Well, don't you need us here?" "No, I'm convinced the less human scent around, the better." "We'll go check out that leopard area." " Ok." " I'll see you all later." "Right." "Toto?" "Toto?" "Toto, where are you?" "Oh, where'd that little imp go?" "Well, Clarence, I hope your friend Toto has enough sense to stay out of trouble today." "Toto!" "Come on, let's go." "(GROWLING)" "(CHITTERING)" "(ROARS)" "That poor little chimp." "Frozen with fear." "Leopard will devour it." "We must rescue her."

"And he's onto something." "Now, c'mon." "Stay close." "C'mon." "(CHITTERING)" "(GROWLING)" " (SCREECHING) - (ROARING)" " (SCREECHES) - (ROARS)" "(CHITTERING)" "(CHITTERING)" "Mgaya." "Did you see, Mgaya?" "Did you see?" "Yes, chief." "I did see." "The Great One was courageous to make the fearless leopard run." "And cunning too." "Mgaya, our search has ended." "We have found the Great One." "Toto, what" " But I heard a leopard." "So the leopard was after you, huh?" "There was a leopard." "But the Great One made him run." "Incidentally, I'm Dr. Tracy from Wameru." "Oh, yes, the famous Daktari." "I am Chief Warloo." "This is my medicine man, my friend, Mgaya." " Jambo, Mgaya." " Jambo." "Well, I see you've met Toto." "Oh, this is Judy." "Another member of Wameru." "You know, for the life of me, I can't figure out how Toto got here or why." "But I am certainly in your debt for saving Toto from that leopard." "Oh, no." "It was the other way around." "It was she that saved us." "(CHITTERING)" "Oh." "Well, chief, I imagine you're rather tired from your long journey." "Why don't you and Mgaya come and stay with us for a while at Wameru?" " It's not far from here." " Well, since our mission is completed, one day's rest would be fitting." "But no more." "I must hasten back to my village and bring the news of our pilgrimage." "Now, after many years of despair." "the Great One will bring us joy." "He must be returned soon." "By "the Great One," you-- you don't mean our little Toto, do you?" "All the signs said we'd find him today." "The omens never lie." "The Great One saved the life of Chief Warloo when his foot was caught here." "The Great One was courageous." "The Great One was cunning, as he said he would be." "I see." "Well, on the way back to Wameru," "I'd like to hear more about the Great One." "Are you all right, chief, can I give you a hand?" "Oh, thanks to the Great One, I can make it, I'm sure." "You like that, huh?" "There you go." " Hi, Paula." " Oh, hi, Mike." "(SIGHS) Didn't take long for our little orphan to make himself at home, did it?" "About an hour." "Know what he really needs is a name." "A name." "Well, let's see." "How about, uh, "Chowhound"?" "Oh, silly, he needs something more dignified than that." "Oh." "Well, I met 2 men today from a place that sounds very dignified." "Lingoa." "How about that?" "Little Lingoa." " Little Lingoa." "Yeah, I like that." " Good." "You like that?" "Oh, I forgot." "Marsh called in." "The Lingoans will be here for dinner." "Thanks a lot, now you tell me." "Well, you feed little Lingoa while I rustle up a decent dinner for them." "You come this far looking for a new leader." "Oh, we found him." "But, chief, um..." "this is not your Great One." "This is merely our pet chimp, Toto." "You should know the signs." "The Great One promised he would return in the form of an animal." "Yes, as courageous and as cunning as he once was." "This might have been your pet yesterday, but today, Daktari," "Toto has inherited the spirit of the Great One." "Chief, I" " I can appreciate and understand your feelings, but please, let me try to make one thing clear." "Toto can not help your people." "Dad, what about that little orphan chimp?" "We've already named her Little Lingoa." "The boys have her up in the nursery and checking her over." "Yes, chief, uh, why don't you take Lingoa?" "Now, she's gonna grow up to be a nice healthy chimp like Judy and Toto." "We do not want a plaything." "We are men, not children." "The Great One is our true leader." "But don't you understand?" "Toto is just an ordinary chimp." " Aren't you, Toto?" " You're wrong, daughter of Daktari." "You were not there." "The Great One made the leopard run." "Supreme act of daring." "Well, that's just what it looked like, chief." "There must have been some other reason that made that leopard run." "It certainly wasn't Toto." "Well, it could have been our scent." "We were close by, Judy and I." "Chief, would you tell me the story about the rhino?" "The one you told Dad?" "Oh, that was one of the greatest moments in the history of our tribe." "The Great One killed almighty rhino with one stroke of his hand knife." "It is said that all the rhinos know when the Great One returns." "When he appears before them, they will tremble in fear." "And the Great One will make the rhino run." "Then we know that he has truly returned." "Well, chief, your tribal legends are charming, but they just don't match up to the facts." "Daktari, we don't expect you to believe." "You're a stranger from a far, far land." "But we know that the Great One will change the entire course of the history of our village." "That is why she must return with us." "No, Mgaya." "Toto must stay where she belongs." "Yes." "Where she belongs." "Chief, you and Mgaya are most welcome to our guestroom tonight." "Oh, no, thank you." "We will sleep under the stars." "Daktari, until tomorrow." "And thank you very much for a very fine meal, Miss Tracy." "You're quite welcome, chief." "Daktari, would it be all right if we kept the Great" "Toto, with us for tonight." "Um, well, yes." "That'll be all right, hm?" "Thank you." "Well, speaking of the Great One," "I'm going to start some new tests with Judy on the elephant scent" " first thing next week." " You have to douse her anymore?" "No, it lasts for about a month." "Mgaya, Daktari's noted for saying only the truth." "Could we be wrong?" "Every sign predicted that the Great One would come to us today." "With my own eyes, I saw him chase a fierce leopard as if it were a frightened kitten." "I saw it too." "But it could have been, as Daktari has said, could be an accident." "Why, chief, I do not doubt." "(GROWLING)" " Let me prove it to you once more." " How?" "(MGAYA):" "We will have the Great One show us his courage once again, with that lion." " (GROWLING) - (CHITTERING)" "(LAUGHING)" "Did you see the courage?" "(CHITTERING)" "Even the mighty lion is afraid of the Great One." " Is there any doubt?" " None." "You are really the Great One." "Tomorrow, little friend, you will show the rhino you have returned." "Then you make him tremble with fear and run." "(CHUCKLES)" "Come, Mgaya." "Let us go and prepare the Great One for his final ordeal." "DISPENSARY" "Well, young lady." "You seem healthy and well-adjusted to your new environment." "And how many of us can say that, huh?" " Dad, I can't find her any place." " (MARSH):" "Find who?" " Toto, she's gone." " Judy, do you know where Toto is?" "(HOOTING)" "Marsh, Chief Warloo and Mgaya are gone." "There's no sign they spent the night." " They skipped out." " Took "the Great One" with them." "What are we gonna do?" "(JACK):" "I'll tell you what we're gonna do." "We're gonna go after them, find Toto and bring her back." " By force, if necessary." " I don't think it'll come to that." "Jack, you and Mike cover the area where you first found them." " All right." " Paula," " get on the radio and alert Hedley." " Ok." "I'm gonna take Judy and cover the Kaluba Plains area." "(MIKE):" "Kaluba Plains?" "You think they're looking for rhinos?" " Yes." " Dad, if they take Toto out there to face those rhinos, what chance is she gonna have?" "No chance at all, if we don't find her." "C'mon, we better get going." "Come on, little one." "Now, we will provoke a rhino attack." "Oh, yes, Great One." "You will protect us." "(SCREECHING)" "(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)" "(CHITTERING)" "There they are." " (SCREECHING) - (SNORTS)" "Oh, no." "(SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)" "(LAUGHS)" "(WARLOO):" "The Great One is even braver than I could imagine." "Soon our village will be just as brave too." "Daktari." "You saw?" "Did you ever see a rhino run like that?" "It was if the mighty elephant was charging after him." "(MARSH):" "I saw it, all right." "And I must say it's incredible, but there must be some logical explanation." "I've already given you the answer." "The Daktari saw what I have, what the Great One has done this day." "Are we watching another accident?" "(MARSH):" "Wait a minute." "Wait a minute." "You know something?" "It just might be another accident." "The Great One has just humiliated her worst enemy," " and you say it was an accident." " (CHITTERING)" "Chief, you see that rhino that just ran?" "See him?" "Now please, take my word for it." "That is not an enemy." "That happens to be Orville." "He's a former patient and an old friend of Wameru's." "He's probably the tamest animal on the reserve." "(LAUGHS) Your stories are almost as charming as those of our village." "Well, Mgaya, I deserve that, and I don't blame you for being skeptical." "But what you both saw with your own eyes has deceived you." "Each time you speak, I'm certain you cause me to wonder." "Well, chief, I just want you to see the truth in the matter." "You both have just lost faith in your abilities." "But we believe that the Great One will show us the way." "(MARSH):" "I know you do, and I respect that belief." "But you're looking in the wrong place for your Great One." "If I could just prove to you that Toto" "(CHITTERING)" "Maybe I can." "Judy, bring Toto, we're leaving." "Look, will you both come back with me to where the leopard first attacked?" "I think I can show you another kind of courage." "Now, look, Judy." "I'm gonna need your help to prove that you have more courage than Toto." "Then maybe Chief Warloo and Mgaya will believe us." "I'm going to put you in a spot where that leopard" " can't possibly help but see you." " (CHITTERING)" "It's all right, Judy." "That leopard will run away as soon as he smells that elephant scent." "(CHITTERING)" "Now, Judy, you can trust me." "That leopard will not attack you." "Now, come on." "(CHITTERING)" "You, young lady, you get back in the truck." "Judy?" "Come on." "(GROWLING)" "All right, Judy, come on." "Get up here." "Now, listen, Judy." "I can just feel him watching us." "So whatever you do now, don't panic." "I'm counting on you." "You won't let me down, will ya, hm?" " (HOOTING)" " All right, good girl." "(ROARING)" "(JUDY CHITTERING)" "(MARSH VOICEOVER):" "Judy, you can trust me." "That leopard will not attack you." "(LEOPARD ROARING)" " (CHITTERING) - (GROWLING)" " That leopard's not gong to run." " We must help Judy." " (ROARING) - (SHOUTING)" "Warloo, get out of the way!" "(SHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)" "(SIGHS) There, Judy." "We showed the leopard what a warrior can do." "Didn't we, Judy?" "Daktari, where's that new courage you were going to show me?" "Well, what I had in mind, Chief Warloo, didn't quite work out." "But Chief Warloo, you just showed me the other kind of courage." "Even the Great One couldn't have done better, because that was one of the bravest acts I've ever seen." "It's been a long time since I hunted boldly." "The Great One has passed his courage onto me." "My chief has become the brave warrior of his youth." "Well done, Warloo." "But now, we'll take the Great One and leave." "No longer will my people have to live like a frightened lamb." "Instead, they'll be brave as a lion, mighty as the elephant." "As mighty as the elephant." "Wait a minute." "Judy..." "Judy, you and I are going to have a little chat." "You don't have any elephant scent on you, do you?" "Somehow or another, you managed to put it on Toto, and Toto knows it, doesn't she?" "And that's why she seems so brave and that's why the leopard almost got you, young lady." "Well, I imagine after this little experience, you won't interfere with my experiments again, will you?" " (CHITTERING)" " You better not." "Come on." "Chief Warloo, if you and Mgaya will come back to Wameru with me," "I think I can prove once and for all that Toto is not your Great One." "And if you should fail?" "Well, you can take Toto back to your village then." "HOSPITAL" "Ooh, that's just right, yes." " Good, you fellows are just in time." " Huh?" "For what?" "Already, I'm sorry I asked." "Mike, look, I want you to give Toto here a good scrubbing." "The water temperature's just right." "And Jack, take Little Lingoa and douse her thoroughly with that elephant scent." "I'll be back and pick them both up later." "Hey, wait." "May, uh, we ask what you're up to?" "Yeah, after it works." "If it works." "All right, you 2." "Here we go." " Paula, will you take Little Lingoa?" " Oh, sure." "And Toto, you sit right down there." "Now, is the Daktari ready to prove the truth?" "Yes, chief, but, um, first I'd like to ask you a question." "About the Great One and the rhino, did your grandfather actually see it happen?" "Now, think back, chief." "Did he say he actually saw the Great One kill the rhino?" "It was such a long time ago." "Oh, I recall." "My grandfather told me that he heard of the feat through the village storyteller." "The storyteller." "Mm-hm." "Chief Warloo, have you ever fought a rhino?" "Oh, no, Daktari." "No single warrior would do a thing like that." "Chief Warloo, don't you understand what Dad is driving at?" "I'm not sure what Daktari wishes me to know." "Well, it's simply this." "If a warrior were to kill a rhino with just his hand knife, that rhino would have to be sick or dying, or perhaps even dead." "When Daktari speaks, you make new pictures in one's mind." "(MARSH):" "Well, I'm sure your Great One had great courage and strength." "But today, Chief Warloo, you showed me great courage and great strength also." "Now, I believe you're right, I believe you have found the Great One." "But it's not little Toto." "All right, Toto, since you think you're so great, you just come on along with me." "Ok, Toto." "Chase Clarence away if you're so fierce." "Go on." "The lion will run, just as he did before." "(CHITTERING)" " (GROWLING) - (SCREECHING)" "All right." "Here is your former Great One." "Now, let's see what effect Little Lingoa has on our lion." "Alrighty." "(CHITTERING)" "What about the prophecy?" "What about the Great One?" "Who is he?" "The man who fiercely pursued a leopard with only a spear." " You mean Warloo?" " Yes, it is Warloo." "It is you too, Mgaya." "It is everyone in your village." "You mean, the Great One is in us all?" "And this is the lesson I must take back and teach my tribe?" "Yes, Chief Warloo, this is the lesson you must take back and teach to your tribe." "And once again, they'll have pride." "And with hard work, your village will soon be thriving once more." "Perhaps the signs were true." "Perhaps we did find the Great One today, Mgaya." " Well, let's hope so." " Daktari." "I see one of your experiments are getting a result you did not intend." "Look." "(CHITTERING)" "(ROARING)" "(GROWLING)" "(TRUMPETING)" "(LAUGHING)" "I do not understand." "Is it some kind of magic?" "I believe you now." "Toto, you are no longer the Great One." "But how was he able to get it?" "Well, it wasn't magic." "It was science." "See this little bottle?" "It was filled with elephant scent." "Now, Toto somehow happened to get some on him." "Well, that's what scared all the animals away." "Well, we washed Toto up and put some of it on Lingoa." " And you saw for yourself." " Plainly." "We have learned many good and wonderful things today." "We will return to our tribe and pass on the message that you bring us." "Hey." "Well, come here." "Come on over here." "Yeah." "Chief Warloo, why don't you take Little Lingoa with you?" "That elephant scent will last for about a month, but by then, your people have learned to work for themselves and you won't have to rely on magic or science to be great." " Little Lingoa can be your mascot." " Yes." "Yes, she can be your good luck piece." "The symbol of your new courage." "Oh, no, not new." "Old courage." "Courage that was lost." "Now we've found it again, thanks to you." "♪ (THEME MUSIC PLAYS) ♪" "(English" " SDH)"
