21. THE BAD BABOONBig-0, another mandrill baboon who had been beaten by Dan'l many years before, returns to get his revenge. Kimba tries to stop the battle because Dan'l Baboon is now too old and the fight would not be fair. More determined than ever, Big-0 retreats but vows to wipe out all the animals in Kimba's kingdom so that he can take over. Big-0 uses his monkey followers to make a pipeline of hollow trees that will carry deadly sulfur gas into the jungle. Kimba is captured by trickery but gets loose in time to take the villain to task, while Dan'l saves the other animals by a most ingenious method. 22. DANGEROUS JOURNEYThe jungle is threatened by an epidemic of the dread Stony Mountain Speckled Fever. The only cure can be found from a tree at the top of a mountain, which only Pop Wooly, an old mountain sheep, knows about. He must lead Kimba there and the bark must be taken during the daylight hours, because hordes of lizards patrol the area at night. Even at Pop Wooly's advanced age, he manages to lead Kimba to the tree on the mountain top and get enough of the herb to cure all the animals. Unfortunately, Pop Wooly himself contracts the disease in the process. Now only Kimba knows the way to the tree. His "dangerous journey" includes bypassing a fallen bridge and a direct confrontation with the lizards before he is able to complete his mission. 23. THE GIGANTIC GRASSHOPPERDan'l Baboon is wakened by a tremendous earthquake!... but none of the other animals feel it. Then Kimba too experiences the strange, extremely localized earth tremors. What could be causing it? Could it have anything to do with that flying saucer that crashed to earth the week before? Indeed, it does! Even as the radiation from the crashed vehicle caused some plants to become gigantic, so too did it cause one of the grasshoppers that were trapped in the cave to become a thousand times its normal size. Kimba is reluctant to destroy any life, but he realizes that such a monster would cause much destruction unless destroyed. Bravery, cunning and courage help Kimba to be victorious. 24. GYPSY'S PURPLE POTIONCassius -- the lean and hungry Black Panther and evil cohort of the vicious lion, Claw -- has a plan to destroy Kimba and take over his kingdom. He enlists the aid of an old partner in crime, Gypsy, an old owl whose knowledge of poison potions is unequaled. Gypsy does indeed trick Kimba into taking her purple potion which puts him in a coma and his friends fear the worst. Undaunted by the threats of Claw and Cassius, Dan'l Baboon rallies the animals to rebuild their Tower of Honor for Kimba's father Caesar. Such loyalty and spirit convince Gypsy that she was wrong. Using the greedy natures of the hyenas Tom and Tab, she tricks them into giving Kimba the antidote that revives him. Joy reigns supreme as the animals pay tribute to Kimba, as well as to the memory of his father, for having established a brotherhood among the animals. 25. TOO MANY ELEPHANTSMr. Pompous, Roger Ranger's uncle, has come to the jungle to convince Roger to return to civilization with him. He tells the Ranger that the animals won't be needing him any more, because the rules at the game preserve have been changed and the animals are no longer safe there. When Kimba overhears Mr. Pompus say this, he decides to go to the game preserve and see for himself if the rumor is true. Yes, it seems it is. There is a hunting party there which has decided there are "too many elephants" and has promised to do away with them. Though the king of the elephants, Packer Dermos, is a tyrant, Kimba tries to warn him to lead his herd away before they are exterminated. Packer refuses to listen, but Kimba is able to save a few of his elephant friends by overcoming the hunters. Mr. Pompous realizes the animals do need a human friend and allows the Ranger to stay with them. 26. A REVOLTING DEVELOPMENTThe animals revolt -- especially those meat-eating animals who cannot continue to eat only vegetables and insects. The mean lion, Claw, and his black panther partner, Cassius, teach the young ones to enjoy the taste of meat and they too join the revolt against Kimba. Meanwhile, an old friend of Roger Ranger's, by the name of Calvin Hottage, turns up in the jungle looking for the rare Tickle Chickle Tree. The blossom of that tree will provide the one ingredient Calvin needs to give the world the most wonderful meat substitute. Kimba joins the search, succeeds, and saves not only the economy of the whole world, but the happiness of his animal kingdom! 27. THE CHAMELEON WHO CRIED WOLFThis is the story of a very sad little chameleon named Newton (because chameleons are newts!). The reason he is so sad is because life in the jungle is just too much for him; from every direction, animals and elements seem to threaten his very life. As a defense he has taken to prevaricating -- in fact, he is the biggest little liar in the jungle. Kimba feels sorry for Newton and promises to protect him. Lie builds upon lie, however, until all the animals are completely disgusted and refuse to believe anything Newton tells them. Naturally, when he tells them that Kimba is fighting off an attack of vicious wolves, they only laugh and refuse to go and help. Kimba, Newton, and Gabu -- a delinquent teen-age hippo -- join forces to defeat the invading wolves. It is a changed and happy chameleon who takes his place among friends in the animal community of Kimba's Kingdom. 28. THE WILD WILDCATThere's a "wild wildcat" Wiley loose in the jungle destroying Dan'l Baboon's Diner and picking on the other animals. Kimba decides to try to win him over to the responsible way of life by joining him in his escapades in order to gain his affection. Kimba overhears one of Wiley's nightmares in which it's revealed that Wiley's mother was killed by human hunters; this has embittered him toward all man and animal kind. When human hunters arrive in the village, the animals decide to hide out -- to stay out of the village until the hunters move on peaceably. But Wiley breaks the rule, of course, causing the hunters to make war on the animals. Kimba manages to rout the hunters only with the last-minute help of Wiley. Kimba proves again that love conquers all -- even the wildest of wild cats. 29. THE NIGHTMARE NARCISSUSDr. Mendel Spees, who is testing secret weapons on the animals in the jungle, has planted a narcissus which is designed to cause nightmares to anyone who smells it. The success of the experiment is tremendous, causing Kimba and all his friends to have violent nightmares including serious fights among themselves. A streak of lightning brings about the death of the flower and the end of the nightmares. But a seed from the original narcissus has produced another and the doctor realized that only static electricity can kill the flower which is creating the havoc in the jungle. Kimba too has determined how to combat the "nightmare narcissus" and he and his friends are able to create the killing sparks by rubbing their fur together. Even the doctor is happy to see the animals safe again and in the future will raise flowers only for their beauty. 30. ADVENTURE IN THE CITYWhen Kitty's Uncle Specklerex visits Kimba's jungle, the old spotted lion accuses Kimba of forgetting his wild heritage and becoming soft in this neat, clean and peaceful jungle. Kimba lets the old lion beat him at jumping and running; Specklerex is considerably miffed when he learns this and starts for home. On his way he sees Arthur Scotfree and his son, who are collecting specimens for a zoo. Old Specklerex tries to give them a scare -- and follows them to the city, where the people are hysterical because there is a lion in the streets. The old lion challenges a train to a fight, and ends up on the train with Kimba and Kitty driving a truck in hot pursuit. Meanwhile, Mr. Trailer the detective is in hot pursuit too -- of Mr. Scotfree who years before had committed a crime that Trailer had been blamed for. Mr. Scotfree captures Specklerex and cages him and they go aboard ship, but Kimba manages to rescue Specklerex. Because Mr. Scotfree is man enough to tell his son of his wrongdoings, Mr. Trailer conveniently "forgets" why he had been tracking his prey for so many years -- and the men learn to "forget" and forgive.
