That's funny That's

funny

Hey, look at that, Mike.

Whoever said the cat family and the ape
family were natural enemies?

Don't look at me, Jack. I didn't say it.

Oh, that Judy.

She really loves Clarence.

I don't know what she would do without
him.

Undate area and type of terrain.

How many soil samples do they need?

Well, millions if they could get them.

What does the lab do with them?

They manufacture miracles.

Now, first, they culture the soil to see
how many moles will develop.

Then they test the moles to determine if
any will kill harmful bacteria.

And if they find some that do, they run
safety tests.

If you work long and hard enough, you're
lucky.

The world suddenly has a new antibiotic.

That means thousands of tests.

Actually, millions.

Every new antibiotic is the result of...
Dad, what is it?

Paula, stay very close behind me.

She's hurt I'll have to sedate her so we
can get close enough

Okay, I think it's all right now.

Look, she's been snared and this is a
fairly new one.

Yeah, she's also been wounded.

We'd better take her back to the
compound.

She's just a beautiful -looking animal.
Can you save her?

Well, we'll do everything we can.

Oh, I see you found her, Marsh.

That's splendid.

Hedley, did you know that poachers
operate in this area?

Just take a look at this snare.

Oh.

Well, that must have been set there by
one of the villagers.

I was just on my way to tell you that
that animal that you're trying to save

raided Katanu Village last night and
attacked one of their people.

Well, Hedley, if that's right, what'll
happen to her?

Paula, my dear, you know what'll have to
be done.

She'll have to be destroyed.

You can stop worrying, Clarence. Your
friend Nellie's just fine now.

You want a bandage on her, Dr. Harry?

No, it's barely subcutaneous. We just
let it heal naturally.

Did anyone actually see her attack that
native?

No. There hasn't been a sign of a lion
in that area for years.

So hardly does have a strong case of
circumstantial evidence on his side.

And he is the law.

Yeah, but what kind of law executes an
animal without a fair hearing?

It won't be a trial if that's what you
mean.

I did secure one concession from Hadley.

He said if I could persuade the chief
game warden that there were mitigating

circumstances and that Nellie should be
caged for life instead of being

destroyed, that he'd go along with it.

Oh, Dad, you have to save her. Be kind
to let her die.

Looks like Clarence thinks so, too. Been
making cross eyes at her all day.

He may be disappointed. She may already
have a mate.

I think you're right, Mike.

Must have wandered a long way from her
pride. She raided that village and

attacked that native.

I wonder where she comes from.

Well, I examined the mud scrapings on
her paws. I would say she has wandered

least 100 miles from her native habitat.

That bar on her coat was the kind of
murdoch we don't have around here.

A long way from home.

Okay, that's it.

Let's go.

Come on, Judy. Let's go.

You too, Clarence. There's no time to be
social.

Oh, I think it might be a good idea to
let Clarence stay here with her.

Nellie may feel more comfortable having
a male lion around, even if it is old

Clarence.

But not you, young lady.

You have got to go, because the scent of
chimpanzee will only arouse Nellie, not

soothe her. Come on.

Good morning, Paula.

Judy. Hi, Dad. Isn't it a great day?

What's the matter? Are you missing
something?

Well, yeah. I was seeing Clarence.

I'm so used to seeing him sit out there
like a statue that it kind of threw me.

Dad, you may be an expert in zoology and
psychology, but you'd plunk a course in

romance.

Romance? Really?

Been parked out there all night just
baying at the moon.

Well, lions roar, grunt, growl, cough,
and purr, but they definitely do not

bathe. Whatever amorous lions do,
Clarence was doing it. He kept me up

night.

Clarence in love, huh? I don't know
about that.

Well, I gotta admit, Nellie's a handsome
animal.

Don't you think so, Judy?

Oh, come on now, Judy. You have to admit
that Nellie is a beauty. You just have

to take my word for it. And Clarence's.

Can I feed her?

Oh, well, if you promise to be careful.

Don't forget, she's still vicious and
potentially dangerous.

Dad, she's so woozy and weak from the
operation, she couldn't even kill a flea

this morning.

Well, nevertheless, she still attacks
someone, so watch your step.

Okay. Oh, hey, Paula.

You might as well give her Clarence's
breakfast.

He didn't eat a bite.

I'll check on Nellie later.

Right now, I've got to go to the
nursery.

Come on, Judy. Time to feed our star
patient.

What's the matter? Don't you want to see
Nellie get better?

It's Clarence's friend.

Judy, it's only natural for Clarence to
like Nellie.

After all, he's a male lion and she's a
female lion.

It's the law of nature.

I'm sorry, Judy, but that's the way life
is.

Don't fight it.

Anyway, you meet a nice boy chimpanzee,
and he'll think you're absolutely

beautiful, too.

Oh, you want to help?

Good.

Thank you, Judy.

Come on, Clarence. You'll have to eat
something or you'll get sick.

I guess you are sick.

Love's sick.

Well, you'll get over it.

Anyway, you just met her yesterday.

Mike says she might be spoken for.

Come on, just eat something, Clarence.

Judy, you want to feed Nellie?

Just don't run.

Okay, Judy.

Give her some meat.

Judy! You did that on purpose.

Don't you understand?

Clarence can go without food, but not
Nellie.

She has to eat to keep up her strength.

Now, if you were sick, you'd want people
to feed you. You wouldn't want them to

be mean to you, now would you?

Now give her some meat.

That's right.

Hey, Judy.

Hey, Judy, want to come with me?

All right, you can stay here.

Come on, Clarence.

You need a little exercise. You've been
by this cage too long.

See you in a few minutes, Judy.

Hey, Paula, give me a hand with Junior,
huh?

Just don't seem to have a way with apes.

Okay, Clarence, you can go back to
Nellie, but quietly. Dad wants her to

Well, move still.

Got to pet her, not strangle her.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Here.

There you go.

See?

That didn't hurt, did it?

You really must be in trouble.

going? Yes, Miss Clara.

You know, I began to think that Oscar's
getting to enjoy his

monthly inoculations. Uh -huh.

How did Nellie get the door open?

She didn't.

I have a pretty good idea who did.

Judy?

But why?

Where do you think Nellie could be now?

And Clarence.

Nellie took off for the bush.

He must have followed her to protect
her.

Oh, charming.

Who's going to protect him? He doesn't
even know how to feed himself anymore.

Hey, you know, if Nellie is a killer,
she could turn on Clarence.

Yeah, we'd better go after them.

Can I come?

Okay, you can follow the car while Jack
and I trail them on foot.

Mike, hang on here just in case they
come back.

And we may be gone for a while, so you'd
better load up the car before long.

Okay. Oh, um, throw in Clarence's old ox
bone.

We may need it as bait to get him away
from Nellie.

Come on, Jack, let's get those dart
rounds.

Nobody asked you to come along, Judy.

Why don't you take her along? She's
literally begging to help.

Help?

She's the one that let Nellie escape and
got Clarence lost.

Are you sorry?

No more trouble.

You promised, Judy.

Oh, take her along, Paula. I'm sure
she's learned her lesson.

Well, okay, Judy, you can come along,
but if you cause me any more trouble,

going to have to put you in a cage.

That's Ellie.

She's favoring the left side.

Hey, here's another set.

Chain marks. It's Clarence. Yeah, he's
with her, all right.

Looks like they're heading for the Karoo
area.

It's pretty wild country. Plenty of
lying there.

Get across here.

Paula, look.

Go on to the river crossing and wait for
us there.

If we're not back by, say, 3 o 'clock,
call Mike and give him your location.

Right. I see you have a cool pilot, huh?

Yeah, maybe you auto that hard drive.

Or you just sit there and be quiet.

Clarence? I don't know.

Jane Marks.

Yeah, it's Clarence, all right.

He's been hurt.

See how he's paving his right front leg?

A lot of lying.

They're moving.

Hey, look.

Clarence and Nellie are with him.

That was no sign of a struggle. They
must have accepted it.

You think maybe it could be Nellie's old
pride?

It must be.

Yeah, but then why would they accept
Clarence?

Well, I don't know.

Unless they're a nomadic pride of
rejects willing to take on an orphan.

Hey, Marsh, what happens if Clarence
runs into Nellie's old mate?

Judy, wait till that's done.

Judy, stay out of that. There won't be
any left for dinner.

Judy?

Just like you, anything to get out of
work.

worried about you two. Any sign of them?

Yeah, they're moving into the Conroe
area.

Uh, Paul, um, Florence has been hurt. He
stumbled into a spear trap and he's

still with Nellie.

But now he seems to know where she's
going.

Dad, is he hurt badly?

Well, he's still moving along.

It may not be too bad.

Look, I want to, uh, I want to go up the
road a little. I have a hunch about

something. Can I go with you?

Paul, I don't know what's out there, and
if I run into trouble, I want to be

alone. Shall I come?

Now, I'd rather you stay here with
Paula.

Look, if I need help, I'll radio.

It should be easy enough to follow my
tire tracks.

Did Mike pack my medical bag?

Yes.

What do you want that for? You've got a
radio in the truck.

I don't know where this wild lion chase
is going to take me.

Might as well be prepared for all
emergencies.

Jack, how many lions are in this place?

Oh, a handful.

Jack, don't lie to me. How many?

Twenty, maybe more.

But they'll kill Clarence.

He's wounded and defenseless.

Now, don't worry. They've accepted him,
and they'll do everything they can to

protect him now.

Protect him even from Dad?

Mm -hmm.

Well, how's Dad going to help him?

Here you are.

Easy, boy.

Easy.

Just take it easy, Clarence.

I'm going to get my medical bag, and I'm
going to come back and fix you up.

Stay here and be a good boy. I'll be
right back.

this place.

It's an old abandoned safari lodge.

So this pride just moved in and turned
it into a house of lions, huh?

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Dad, did you see Clarence?

Yes, he's in one of the houses.

Fortunately, he's alone.

Is he hurt badly?

Yeah, it looks that way.

Then you'll need us.

No, no, Jack. Stay where you are.

The less people around here, the less
chance of the lions picking up a human

scent. You sure you don't want us to
come and give you a hand?

Now, Jack, this is one house call I'm
going to have to make alone.

Jack,

why would lions want to live in a house?

Why not?

Perfect shelter from the sun, the rain.

If they're hungry, there's plenty of
game in the bush.

It's kind of a switch, isn't it?

A hunting lodge.

The lions as the hunters.

Look.

Clarence, easy.

Look, if I'm going to help you, I'm
going to have to examine the wound.

Here.

Here.

Try munching on your old oxbow. Get your
mind off your pain.

Easy, boy. Now, easy.

You're not making things easy for either
you or me.

All right, Clarence.

I'm going to have to give you a hypo.

Don't argue.

It's a good tranquilizer to put you to
sleep.

Sorry, boy.

Easy.

This won't hurt you.

Easy.

Easy.

Go to sleep in a few minutes and I can
look at the wound and get you all fixed

up. Good as new, huh?

It won't be long now and you'll soon be
asleep.

Yeah.

Dad, do you think Clarence has been with
the lions his cousin revert to the

wild?

No, no, no. I think it's...

Just a fever brought on by the infection
from the spear wound.

You gonna tranquilize him?

I already have.

I'm just waiting for him to go under.

There he goes.

He's caulking out.

Look, I gotta get to work on it before
the other lions come back. I'll check

with you later.

Dad, leave the transmit button on your
walkie -talkie on so we know what's

happening. Okay, I'll try to give you a
blow -by -blow description, but the

transmission may not be too good.

Thanks, Dad. Anything's better than
silence.

Over and out.

Roger.

This might be a little tricky.

The point of the blade is embedded
within his muscles of his right

I'll have to probe for it, dig it out,
and then disinfect the whole area.

Let's hope it didn't hit the radial
nerve, because then it might paralyze

right leg.

Clarence is going to have to walk out of
here under his own power.

All right, Clarence.

The lions were, but it can't be
Clarence.

Well, what's the tranquilizer wore off?

She's right, it's not Clarence.

That Judy recognizes the roar.

Must be Nellie.

Easy, girl, easy.

I'm just here to help Clarence.

See?

Clarence trusts me.

Clarence is trusting me.

I'm going to fix him up just like I
fixed you.

Good girl.

Stay right there.

Jack, we've got to take the dart rifles
and help Dad.

Nellie's a killer lion.

Used to be a killer. We don't know what
she is now.

We just can't sit here.

We can and we will.

We've got our orders. Just relax.

All right, a girl, Nellie. Just take it
easy.

Thank goodness she doesn't have a mate.

All right, just going to get a little
pesky spirit tip out of his shoulder

I just hope it hasn't hit the nerve.

There we go.

We've got it.

And it missed the nerve.

Nellie, I haven't time now. I've got to
hurry.

I'll get the extra hypodart.

Come on, Judy.

Easy,

nobody.

Nellie, I assume this is your mate, huh?

Boy, I wish you could explain to him
that we're just friends.

How's Dad doing?

That other lion is Nellie's mate, all
right. It's not doing anything but

growling. Do you think he'll attack Dad?

More likely Clarence.

Clarence, why?

He's the one Nellie brought home.

Easy, fella, easy.

Just be right there.

Just be right there.

Say, maybe this will keep you busy.
Yeah.

Good boy.

I hope this works a second time.

Pull on, Jack. Do you read me?

Yeah, Marsh, I read you. You in trouble?

No, but no.

How's Clarence?

Well, I just have a few more minutes
with him, and then I'll give him the

antidote.

Say, you're sounding awfully clear.
Where are you?

We're in the bush, heading toward you.

Dad, I can see the lion houses now.

Well, look, don't try to enter any of
the houses.

Do you see the truck?

Yes, we're at the edge of the brush.

We'll make straight for the truck and
climb in, but keep Judy out of sight.

Marsh, you sure you don't need help?

I'll let you know what I do.

Back to you.

Sorry for all the interruptions.

Your boy and friends don't seem to
realize this is a hospital zone.

Let's make a dash, of course. Hold it.

for nothing.

We're going to walk very slowly and
carefully.

All righty, Clarence, you're all patched
up now.

I'll just give you the antidote, and
then you'll be awake in about five or

minutes, and we'll take you out of here.

None of your new friends object.

Hey, Marsh, you all right?

Yeah, I'm okay.

How's Clarence?

Oh, he's fine.

He'll be on his feet in a few minutes.

Marsh, there are more lions coming out
of the bush toward the house.

on his feet right away. I'll bring the
truck around to the back of the house.

You make a dash for it.

All right. We'll let Paula drive.

You be ready with your dart rifle.

Right. Let's go.

Let's get out of here. Come on.

Wake up.

Jack, something's wrong.

We have to drive out those lions.

Well, I can't shoot all of them.

Clarence is a little slow in coming,
too.

I'll keep my eye on this one.

Come on, Clarence. Paul is outside with
the getaway truck. This is no time for a

nap. Come on.

Come on.

Come on, boy. Come on.

Come on.

Come on, boy. Come on.

Well, so long, Nellie.

Your friend will wake up pretty soon.

Next time you're around with Merrill,
why, hop in and say hello.

Do you think he's forgotten her?

Oh, I don't know.

That's a pretty wise old lion.

Now I think he thinks it's better to
have loved and lost than never to have

loved at all.

resident from Headley. She wandered into
his compound.

Oh, she's beautiful.

She's even more beautiful than Nellie.

Dad, do you think Nellie really was a
killer?

Well, I only said she was, but back at
the House of the Lions, why, she had

every chance in the world to kill
Clarence and me.

Will you take a look at Clarence?

You know, I just don't think it's
possible for him to learn from

Clarence, I have some sound advice for
you.

You're strictly the bachelor type. A
friend, not a lover.

Party.
