"Shh." "[GIBBERING]" "[OSTRICH GRUNTING]" "[GRUNTING]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "[GROWLING]" "[PRINCE BARKING]" "What's the count, Jack?" "White count's 24." "Twenty-four, huh?" "Down again." "You know all those figures by heart, don't you, Marsh?" "I'm worried about Toto." "She should be well by now." "Well, her temperature's normal." "Yeah, but she's showing no signs of improvement." "If anything, she's getting worse." "I guess there's only one answer." "The virus is still there." "Okay, little friend, you'll just have to stay in isolation a little while longer." " What's the latest on the other test?" " Oh, I just checked and they're all fine." "MARSH:" "Clarence!" "I thought you were gonna keep the animals out of here." "JACK:" "I'm sorry, Marsh, I think he was worried about Toto." "Get him out, Toto needs all the rest she can get." "Okay." "Come on, Clarence, you'll have to worry outside." " Come on, boy." "Come on, Clarence." " Go on." "Come on." "Come on." "Outside." "Out you go." "Well, Toto certainly is lethargic." "Yeah, I wish there was something we could do for the old gal." "Not much else we can do except keep her quiet." "I certainly don't wanna get her excited." "You think there's anything we can do to reach her?" "Well, we have to keep on trying." "Yeah." "Oh, by the way, do you have any idea where Mike has gone?" "Oh, yeah." "He's out at the Wabula village." "Another one of his people projects." " The retirement village for the old people?" " Uh-huh." "Hey, Marsh, that's something I don't quite understand." "Why do the Wabula take all their old people and ship them off to some compound in the bush all by themselves?" "Well, there's not much else they can do." "Wabula are a nomadic tribe, always on the move." "The old people would just be in the way." " Their useful days are over." " Kind of sad." "Wabula village." "I'm beginning to think that Mike is getting an obsession about that place." "Thank you, Mike, for entertaining my people with your magic pictures that you call movies." "Well, they didn't really seem to be entertained by the movies, Natoma." "You're a good man but it is no use." "Well, it just hurts me to see you just wither on the vine for no reason." "No reason?" "We are old, useless." "MIKE:" "You're not old, Natoma." "With the medicine, you should be good for another 20 years." "Twenty years?" "For what?" "No, it is better we die soon than walk about dead for 20 years." "But you shouldn't walk around dead." "If only you and the people in this village could find some interest in life." "[GIBBERING]" "[GIBBERING]" "I'm not gonna let you give up like this, Natoma." "I'm going to get Daktari." "I'm sure we can do something." "No one can help us, Mike." "My people die when they are not needed when they are of no more use to the tribe." "Last year, we were 20." "This year, only eight." "It is our destiny to die and no man can help us." "Marsh, there's no real reason why those old people should die out so fast." " Are there any physical symptoms?" " None." "I examined them thoroughly." "Blood specimens, spinals, everything." "There was no evidence of encephalitis, trypanosomiasis or yaws." "They just don't have any interest in living." "Aah!" "Judy, that's liquid sedative." "You don't want to go to sleep now, do you?" " I took them over games, I" " Judy, get off my reports." "Come here." "That's it." "I took them over games set up weaving, occupational therapy projects." "Yesterday I took over some films." "Nothing." "Marsh, if you could just come over and look at them." "Gee, Mike, I'd like to, but, well, as you can see I've got less than two weeks to collate all this data, let alone finish my paper." "I know you're busy." "Of course." "Besides, Mike, I'm no geriatrist or psychiatrist either." "Mike, it would seem to me that you're doing all that is humanly possible for them." "Well, I'm doing the best I can." "Well, come on, Judy." "[CUB GROWLS SOFTLY]" "MIKE:" "Come on, Judy." "MIKE:" "You know, I'll bet a cub like that would give our Wabula friends great pleasure." "[CUB GROWLS SOFTLY]" "Well, I've got work to do." "Which reminds me, so do I." "[GIBBERING]" "[CUB SCREECHING]" "[GROWLS]" "[JUDY GIBBERING AND CUB SCREECHING]" "Clarence, where is the little cub that was playing with you?" "Jack, have you seen the cheetah cub?" "Me?" "No." "Marsh has had my nose to the grindstone." "Listen, I can't keep track of every animal in the compound." "Hmm." "The last time I saw him he was playing here with Clarence, remember?" "That's right." "Okay, Clarence, where's your little friend?" "[ROARS]" "There's your answer." "He ate him." "Oh, very funny." "No, really." "Cheetah taste good?" "Let me tell you, thank your lucky stars that cub was not one of the experimental animals from the project." "That you would never hear the end of." "MARSH:" "Jack, what's holding you up?" "My master's voice." "I come." "I come." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Judy." "Judy, where's Mike?" "I believe you brought us a little present." "[CUB SCREECHES]" "Look, Judy has brought us a present." "A nice little cheetah cub to love and care for." "Where's Judy?" "Bless your heart, Judy." "[NATOMA LAUGHS]" "She wants you to pet it." "[GIBBERING]" "Well, Judy, I guess it isn't hungry." "It's just a little frightened now." "We have to give it very good care and it will bring us much happiness." "Don't be afraid, little fellow." "[GIBBERING]" "MARSH:" "Of 14 subjects treated, nine showed definite improvement." "Four remained static under treatment." "But the remaining subject, Toto, an infant chimpanzee of 7 months although she is not running a fever, is showing no signs of improvement." "We have kept her in strict isolation from contaminating influences but Toto has steadily deteriorated." " Yeah?" " Oh, today's blood counts." "I just took a look at Toto, she's still not touching her food." "What do you think is wrong?" "Beats me." "She's had the same treatment that all the others have had." "Does Paula know that you've been experimenting with her favorite baby?" "Well, of course she knows." "Look, we're running a research center, not a glorified pet shop." "Are you sure you haven't seen him, Clarence?" "Seen who?" "You still looking for that cheetah cub?" "I've been over this compound with a fine-tooth comb." "Well, there's the lady to ask." "Maybe she took him someplace." "Judy." "Did you take the cheetah cub somewhere?" "[GIBBERING]" "The cheetah cub, you saw him?" "Do you know where he is?" "[GIBBERING]" "MARSH:" "I wouldn't worry about it, Mike." "He'll show up for dinner just like Judy and Clarence do." "[GIBBERING]" "[MEOWS]" "[ORANGUTAN SCREECHING]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Daktari!" "Daktari!" "[ORANGUTAN SCREECHING]" " What's the matter, Mike?" " Look." "Of all the stupid" " Who could've pulled a trick like that?" " What happened?" "Oh, someone left the latch open and the orangutan got away." "Oh, great, from the fever project." "You know, I don't think that animal got out by itself." "Somebody took it." "Mike, you better stop borrowing Hedley's detective magazines your imagination's running away with you." "Did either one of you have any reason to open this cage?" " Maybe to clean it?" " Not me." "Well, I fed the animal this morning, but I'm sure I closed the cage." "You sure you didn't leave the cage open?" "You don't think I'd go around trying to sabotage my own experiment, do you?" "Well, somebody's been sabotaging something." "First the cheetah, now the orang." "Isn't he a nice little fellow?" "I believe he's getting used to us." "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "Judy." "Judy, I'm glad to see you again." "Ah." "Is this for us?" "[GIBBERS]" "Thank you, little Judy." "A fine little fella." "See how much pleasure your little cheetah cub is giving my people?" "They actually fight over the chance to love and care for him." "[SCREECHING]" "Now, now, now, little fella." "Now, now, now." "You're very clever, Judy." "I went out into the bush trying to capture some little animals but I couldn't catch any." "These old bones of mine are not as young as yours." "I rejoice to see my people take an interest in life." "I suppose I have to stop them before they come to blows." "Judy, he's a fine little fella." "If there were only enough animals to go around." "Look, my people." "Judy has brought us another present." "[GIBBERING]" "[LAUGHS]" "NATOMA:" "Thank you, Judy." "Do you like him?" "I think he likes you."

"[GRUNTING]" "Oh, now, wait a minute, Jack." "Look, I don't think she stole the springhaas, she probably rescued it." "Yeah, maybe you're right." "You know, Judy, you have an unfortunate reputation so you get blamed for everything that happens around here." "Well, at least the springhaas is all right." "Yeah, there goes another one of the test animals." "Somebody's trying to sabotage your experiment." "Maybe we better call Hedley, huh?" "Let's do a little detective work of our own first." "Judy, did you see the poacher?" "Now, you must have seen the poacher." "Can't have gone far." "[BARKING]" "Jack, let Prince in." "Maybe he can pick up a scent." "Right." "Come on, Prince." "[JUDY GIBBERING AND PRINCE BARKING]" "Aah!" "Down." "Shame on you, Prince." "This is Judy." "Hey, you're confused, huh?" "I don't know why." "Judy's his pal." "And a hero." "Well, heroine anyway." "Well, hero or heroine, we gotta find that poacher." "Prince, get down, I say!" "What's come over him?" "Judy's your friend." " You see anything, Jack?" " Not a thing." " Maybe he got away by helicopter." " Very funny." "Mike, you'd better radio Hedley." "See if he can get over here right away." "Sure thing, boss." "With all my other worries, now something like this has to happen." "You know, Marsh, it may take Hedley a couple of days to get here." "We're not gonna sit around and let the poachers steal our animals, are we?" "We're not gonna sit around, we're gonna put locks on these cages." " Well, is that enough?" " Well, at least it's something." "Come on, Prince." "I've got another idea." "It's okay, Judy." "We're all very proud of you." "[GRUNTING]" "[BARKS]" "[JUDY GIBBERING]" "[JUDY GRUNTING AND PRINCE BARKING]" "[BARKING]" "Please tell him to hurry." "It's important." "Did you reach Hedley?" "Uh-huh." "He's over at Tatanga village, but he'll get here soon." " Marsh will be glad to hear that." " Yeah." "MARSH:" "Jack." "Steady." " Yeah." " Jack, put Margie on the south side." "And then put those locks on the cages." "Right." "Come on, Marge." "Let's go." "Mike, be sure Prince and Sarang are on the north side." " Oh, and put a long leash on Sarang." " Right." "Clarence, old boy, listen, you are going to guard this side right over here." "Yeah." "Right on here." "Come on." "Come on, let's go." "Come on." "Over." "Come on." "Come on, Judy." "Come on." "Come on, Margie." "Okay, Margie, hold it." "Okay, now this is your post." "If you hear anything, yell." "Clarence, come here." "Clarence, come here." "Now, look, Clarence I want you to stay right here and keep your eyes open." "At least one eye at a time." "And if you see anyone, let out a roar." "[ROARS]" "Okay." "Come on, Judy." "JACK:" "All locked up tight." " That's good." "Well, I'll keep my eyes on these." "Judy, come here." "Look, I know you love little animals, so I'm gonna give you the post of honor." "Now, listen, if you should see the poacher I want you to let out a great big holler, okay?" "[GRUNTS]" "Good." "Because if he's gonna steal any more animals he's either gonna break those locks or get these keys." "And that won't be easy." "You know, I think we'd better feed Prince and Sarang or they're gonna be mighty unhappy." "Okay." "[GRUNTING]" "[GROWLS]" "[CUB SCREECHES]" "Let's have a look at you, Toto." "Easy now."

" ...an orangutan and a springhaas." " And Judy." "Oh." "Well, you've got nothing to worry about then." "I'll wager my old friend Judy can take care of herself no matter how smart the thief may be." "[LAUGHING]" "How's the little chimp doing?" "Not too good." "Marsh, it's you I'm worried about." "You've been working much too hard lately." "Forget about me." "I'm worried about Judy." "HEDLEY:" "Oh, Marsh, you know Judy can handle herself no matter what the situation." "MARSH:" "Not necessarily." "Judy's become so trusting of people that her own good nature could be her downfall." "JACK:" "You don't think she'd let herself get kidnapped by a poacher." "Don't forget, Jack, she's just a small chimp, not a big powerful gorilla." "[GIBBERING]" "Judy." "She got away." "You see, what did I tell you?" "Oh, they roughed her up, poor kid." " Look, she's got a bump." " Yeah." "Judy, did you see anything?" "[GIBBERING]" "How could she if she was blindfolded?" "At any rate, the thief left a tangible piece of evidence behind." "It's a piece of an old lab smock I threw away this morning." "Ah." "Marsh, have you taken any special precautions?" " Well, I put new locks on all the cages." " Mm-hm." " Well, I would like to see them." " Yeah, sure, come on." "Well, here they are." "This is the one he picked." "HEDLEY:" "Hmm." "Yes, they seem like pretty stout locks, I'd say." "Now, you say the thief picked them?" "MARSH:" "Like an expert." "HEDLEY:" "Keys?" "MARSH:" "Well, he may have had his own." "Mine are still on a nail in the dispensary." "I've scarcely taken my eyes off of them." "I see." "Well, I can understand how you must be worried." " Well, aren't you?" " Not a bit of it." "Just come with me, will you?" "[GIBBERS]" "We'll just go about this thing the proper way." "Solve it in no time." " What's that?" " Fingerprint kit." "MARSH:" "Fingerprints?" "HEDLEY:" "Of course, old man." "Scientific criminology." "Couldn't get along without it." "Come along, Judy, ladies first." "[JUDY SCREECHES]" "Well, what's the hurry, young lady?" "Something chasing you?" "HEDLEY:" "So you didn't get away." "MIKE:" "Hello, Hedley." " She running away from you?" " I'm afraid she was, she's objecting." "I hope you don't mind coming after Judy." "Me?" "It would seem, Mike, that Officer Hedley has narrowed down the suspects to Judy and you." "Hedley, why fingerprint us?" "It's elimination, old boy." "Now, your fingerprints are bound to be everywhere." "How can I tell which are the criminal's if I don't know yours?" "Sounds reasonable." "Now, come along, Judy." "Come along, that's it." "Oh, you're making it so difficult." "There we go, Judy." "That's it." "There's a good girl." "Right hard down on there." "That's it." "Now, there we go." "Wipe your fingers." "You know, Hedley finding the poacher's fingerprints isn't exactly finding the poacher." "And that's what I'm interested in." "Well, that and getting my animals back." "But that's just the point, old boy." "Now, the poacher's fingerprints are probably on file at Nagoro." "If that's the case, we can snap him up." "Mike, you're next." "[GIBBERS]" "[GIBBERING]" "[BIRDS SQUAWKING]" "[GROWLING]" "Oh, uh, Mike, would you mind moving the bottles off that shelf?" "MIKE:" "Mm-hm." "HEDLEY:" "Thank you." "Hedley, are you quite certain all this is really necessary?" "Ah." "Science, old boy." "Now, you want to know what the thief looks like, don't you?" "Well, we'll just let him take his own photograph if he comes back." "Jack, would you mind holding that?" "Thank you." "Uh, down there, if you don't mind." "[HEDLEY SIGHS]" "Then we'll put another camera outside by the, um, cages." "Would you mind cutting that, Mike?" "Thank you." " Thank you." " Look, Hedley I use this room all the time." "Now, supposing I come in and trip over these strings?" "Then you'd be the poacher, wouldn't you?" "Oh, yes, of course." "HEDLEY:" "Really, old man, I do expect you to use a little ingenuity." "I mean, you step over the wires like this:" "Do you see?" "Easy." " Hedley, where did you get this idea?" " Hmm?" "From one of those magazines you're always lending Mike?" "What if I did?" "We don't have a branch of Scotland Yard out here in the bush." "I mean, I've gotta use a little ingenuity, eh?" "Of course."

"JACK:" "Well, I'll be." "Okay, Mr. Holmes, I apologize." "Thanks, Jack." "I thought you'd come around when you saw real scientific criminology in action." "Yes, we all agree that you are a genius, but better get on with it." "While we're standing here jabbering, that poacher's getting away." "At least we can see what he looks like." "I'll develop this now." "Oh, thanks, Mike." "Marsh, one thing I don't understand." "If this poacher's so all-fired clever why does he bother to steal a half-dead baby chimp?" "I don't know." "All I do know is that if we don't find her and soon we're gonna have an all-dead baby chimp." "Well?" "Here's your culprit." " Well, what do you know?" "It's Judy." " Caught red-handed." "So Judy is the poacher." " Where is she?" " She's not around here." "Neither are those other little animals." "Marsh, do you really think Toto will die?" "Well, I can't think of any other outcome unless we find her and soon." "Now, luckily, we have another detective in the crowd." "Come on." "[PRINCE BARKS]" "Clarence, this is an emergency."

"Yes, Judy has come here several times, bringing us gifts." "I thought so." "Natoma, would you mind if we took a look at those, um, gifts?" "Of course." "Clarence, you stay here."

"Oh, simply that the body is not a machine that just requires fuel and gas and repairs." "It requires something more." "Much more." "And there's even a name for that missing ingredient:" "TLC." "TLC?" "Yeah, Hedley, tender loving care." "And you, Daktari, the father of affection training." "Well, that's precisely what these people have been giving Toto." "And all I offered her was a cold isolation cage." "It's a kind of a miracle." "And it works both ways, Daktari." "Judy knew that instinctively." "Look at the old folks." "The little animals have given them new vitality." "They have someone who loves them." "Makes all the difference." "Hey, amen to that." "Heh." "And if I ever forget again please someone give me a good swift kick." "Even Judy." "[SCREECHING]" "Judy!" "Judy!" "Daktari was only kidding." "Honestly, he was."

"Well, suppose I run over here once a day and do the logging." "Oh." "That's, uh, not a bad idea, Marsh." "Why not?" "Then when you don't need them, these people can keep them." "[GRUNTS AND GIBBERS]" "Well, I don't know." "Uh...." "We could help Mike." "We would like that." " Bet you it'd work." " You agree with them."
