That's funny That's

funny

Just what the doctor ordered.

Uh -huh. Let's set up the camera.

Hey, once we get our pictures, we can go home.

Well, looks like we're going to wind up this project in a blaze of glory.

Jack, how long has this been going on?

What, operation springtime?

Uh -huh.

Oh, I'd say about...

Ten million years?

Oh, very funny. I mean, how long has Marsh been filming childbirth and

among the animals? Yeah, this is going to be documentary number one. We hope.

Keep your fingers crossed.

Hey, you know, we should include some shots of Hedley back at Romero, Miami,

store. I don't know how Marsh ever talked him into babysitting for us.

Who have I got? Mike?

Jack? Marsh?

Paula? Judy?

Even Clarence? He was eavesdropping.

Hello, hello.

Come in, please.

Please, come in.

We can hear you, Hedley. So can our ostrich.

We're about to move in for some pictures.

So unless you've got... So unless you've got a mighty big problem... Yeah,

that's just the point, old boy. I do.

Now, look.

Marsh and Paula must be out of range of my radio.

Well, they're out of our range, too.

Oh, really?

Well, then, if anyone can help me with my chores, you can. Now, look, don't

think I'm complaining or anything like that. All I want to know is...

How much hay do elephants eat?

As much as you give them. Oh, thanks. You're a big help. Now, don't go away.

Stay there.

What's up? Some cheetahs are after our Oscar.

Hard to see, Headley. Over and out.

You stay here.

Hey, look.

He's pretending to be hurt to draw them away from the nest.

She still might have a chance.

But anyway, we scared them off.

Too late, though, Mike.

Well, that's the law of nature.

She gave up her life to save her eggs.

I'm afraid it's also going to be too late for those eggs.

I guess there'll be a few less ostriches this year.

I'd like to do something for them, Mike.

Maybe. Maybe we could drop them off with Hedley.

You think they'd survive the trip?

Oh, it's too bumpy.

They won't survive out here either.

We'd have to move them to a safer place. And keep them warm.

You know, they might not even be fertile.

True. The longer we stand here talking, the less chance those eggs have of

hatching.

Yeah.

All right, Judy. Take these, but be very

careful.

Thank you, Judy.

Excuse me, Judy. This is the last of them. How are they?

They're fine. All fertile except for two.

Should hatch in a couple of days.

Or could hatch. A couple of days?

How do you figure we'll last through the afternoon, let alone tonight?

We can't build an incubator.

We might as well face it. They'll never survive.

What does she want, eggs for dinner?

Guess again.

Hey, that's a great idea, Judy.

Just trying to tell us all we need is some old -fashioned body heat.

Oh, boy.

A couple of grown men babysitting a bunch of eggs.

Well, at least we have Clarence and Judy, our mother helpers. Good thing we

to bring them along.

It's too bad we didn't bring the elephants along, too. Then Hedley would

had even less to worry about.

One consolation.

Paula is stuck with Sarah.

Big deal.

She and Marsh have snap assignments compared to this.

Oh, this is going to be wonderful.

Well, that ought to do it.

Let's go, Turing.

There we go.

Thanks,

Serena. Let's get out of here. Come on.

All of you read me over Hi

dad,

what's the matter?

No, he's serious matter of fact I Just

a second honey, I think I spotted a good subject for our study

Hey, Paula?

Paula, I just got a good shot of a mother rhino showing her calf around for

first time.

Well, she cut in very nicely with what I've got. I got a great shot, and it

wasn't easy.

But, Paula, when you're done, we should have a film record that'll be useful to

zoologists all over the world.

You know, Sarang, I got a feeling he's building me up for something.

Oh, no, no. It's a simple assignment.

Matter of fact, I was planning on doing it myself, but I have a flat tire to

fix. All right.

Oh, something very romantic. You'll love it.

Family of warthogs.

Warthogs? You've got to be kidding.

Where are they? The other side of Womero?

No, no, no. Just west of you, a few miles.

You'll have no trouble finding them.

Of course not. I'll just follow my nose.

You know, sometimes I wish I were a man.

Oh, what's the matter?

Well, then I get some of those easy assignments you hand out to Jack and

Goodbye. Good luck on your tire.

Right on. Check with you later.

Not bad for a lion.

Well, he's going to have to do until we find an ostrich.

What makes you think an ostrich will warm up to a batch of strange eggs?

Why not?

Clarence did.

He's not even an ostrich.

I'm not sure he's a lion either.

Well, Mike, we're going to have to take first things first.

We find the lady ostrich, then we pop the question. Right?

Okay, you two.

Stay put.

those eggs warm.

Here you are, Glenna Bear. Vitamin pills.

Come on. That's the girl. They're very good for you. That's it. Vitamin pills.

Now, come along. You've got to take some more. You've got to put on weight.

They're very, very good for you.

Guinevere, come on.

What is it, tiny?

Now, be quiet.

You don't get fed again for three hours.

Guinevere, all you get are vitamin shots. It says so right here.

Toto, what are you bringing that for?

Oh, by Jove, you're right. The pills aren't for Guinevere. They're for me.

The fruit's for Guinevere. Come along.

Here, I'll go in a bit. Take in here. Here's the fruit.

That's right. The vitamin pill for me.

Now, come on, Pugwell.

Out of the way. Thank you very much.

Think about what we're looking for.

We'll find an ostrich. You have to.

Well, it better be soon.

We've already left Clarence and Judy alone too long.

You know, those eggs are a great temptation for a scavenger.

Hey, look, let's try that way, huh?

Thank you.

beginning to wonder about finding an ostrich in time.

Maybe we ought to risk moving those eggs to Omeru.

It's too late for that now.

Jack, we've been working the wrong side of the street. Look!

Three males and a female. We've got it made.

Forty miles an hour?

Can't you do any better?

We lost them on the far turn I will just keep after I'm not this trip. We've got

to get back before sundown That's right. It's cold.

We have eggs to sit up

Yeah, Paula, you ready to head home?

The warthogs won't let me.

Oh?

What's wrong? Are they giving you a bad time?

They're not giving me any time at all. In fact, I haven't found them yet. But

don't worry, I'll go after them in the morning.

Wait a minute, wait a minute. Are you planning on spending the night on the

by yourself?

Of course not. I've got Sarang with me, remember?

Anyway, I want to get those warthogs for you.

Well, all right.

I'll check with you first thing in the morning, okay?

Where will you be? At Wamaru?

No, I'm staying the night, too.

I've spotted a nesting mouse bird. And from the way she's acting, it looks like

the eggs could hatch by morning.

Sounds great.

I just hope it won't be too difficult to get on film.

Shouldn't be.

No harder than a warthog.

Night, honey.

And be careful, huh?

Bye, Dad.

Okay, young lady, bedtime.

Clarence, the one thing you cannot do tonight is roll over in your sleep.

There you go.

Good night, Judy.

Okay, Mike.

You're back.

Oh, boy.

Be my guest.

Uh -huh.

On me?

Oh, yeah. Thank you.

You know something?

What? I'd give a month's pay right now to trade places with Mars Tracy.

I promise you one thing, he's not sleeping on a pile of uncooked omelets.

Nighty -night.

This

is

ridiculous. I agree.

I told Paula to be careful.

Oh, what's frightened you?

Huh?

The moon?

There's nothing out there.

You've been a house cat so long that you can act more like a tabby than a tiger.

You go back to sleep.

I'll protect you.

Just go back to sleep.

Come on.

What is it Judy

Thank

You

Judy

Mike get up we got trouble

Mike?

What's the problem?

The heartbeats are weaker. I think they need more heat.

Coming right up.

Mike, Jack, this is Romero Compound.

I'll get that.

It's Headley here. Come in, please.

Mike, Jack, don't you read me?

We read you, Headley. Is something wrong?

It's Doris. I can't get her to go to sleep.

Do you hear that?

She's been carrying her like that for hours.

What time is it now?

What? Oh, it's two o 'clock in the morning. Why?

Check your list, Hedley.

Doris is supposed to get a bottle at midnight.

I've been so busy.

Do you think that'll soothe her?

Yes, Hedley. And while you're at it, take one yourself.

Yes, I'll do that. Thanks, Mike.

Now, Toto, I look after Doris, and you go and warm her bottle.

Now, go along, do that, and then perhaps we'll get some sleep.

Emergency at Lomero, now under control.

Well, so is ours for the moment, anyhow.

Now for the big job, the ostrich hunt.

With a flashlight?

No, with a noose on a long stick like this.

It'll give me something to do tonight. I'd hate to waste all that time

Good luck.

Goodbye, baby, on the treetop.

Judy, stop kissing the eggs and make yourself useful.

I'll tell you what. Go wake Jack up.

Fine way to treat a lady.

Yeah.

Perfect ending to a restful night.

Ah, but it was worth it. You save the eggs?

All but three. Good.

But we're pushing our luck.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Clarence is not going to sit there forever.

Well, we understand, Clarence.

You know, we have to trade you in for an ostrich soon, or we're all going to

flop at it.

Hey, Judy, take that stuff to the truck.

Go on.

Boy, the things we do for Mother Nature.

Marsh Tracy.

Okay, Clarence.

Now, you guard these like they're made out of gold.

I promise you we're going to find a replacement if we can have it.

Oh, no, you don't. You're not going back to sleep.

Paula.

Paula, come in.

Paula, do you read me?

Good morning, Dad. How are you doing?

Oh, I'm fine. Fine.

How's everything with you? Everything go all right? More or less. I'll go after

your warthog as soon as I get Sarang out of the sack.

Good girl.

What's with Sarang?

We had a very restless night last night.

Tell me, how are you doing?

Mouth spur day.

Well, they haven't hatched yet.

So you're standing by until they do?

Yeah, right.

Bet that's exactly what Mike and Jack are doing.

What? Standing by while a female does all the work.

Well, that's the way nature is, Paula. Nothing you can do about it. I'll check

with you later.

Bye, Dad.

Come on, Sarang. Get up.

You're just like all men. You take it easy when there's work to be done. Come

on. Go.

Come on, Serene.

Nothing. Our feathered friends are taking their business elsewhere.

Talk about wild goose taste.

Look,

there they are.

Get it for the wooded area.

Yeah, so what do we do now?

Let's play cat -and -mouse and sneak up on her cunning skill inside us is the

name of the game charming. I'll get the news Judy let's sit this dance out

Judy chimps announced start mix and do better without you

Here? No.

Oh, is it morning already?

Oh, thank you, Toto, so much.

But I'm afraid I've heard something a little stronger.

Oh, I see. It's not for me. It's for Doris. Yes, of course. Well, you're

so well. You give it to her.

Yeah, that's right. Give it to her. Give her the bottle.

There we are. I've got so many other chores to do. There we go. There we go.

Hey,

sounds like an ostrich fighting.

With a chimp?

Judy? Let's go.

Shall we get our new mama

ostrich over to those eggs?

Uh -huh. We can't expect Judy to do all our work for us.

Oh, come on, female. Do something.

Hold it, Sarang.

Boy, Dad wasn't fooling. It's the whole Oscar goodness family.

Hey, you sit still. Come on, sit.

Serang, come on. Come back here.

You're drooling.

You're on cams nowadays, remember?

Okay, come on. Sit.

Serang, please.

How about that? She certainly is sitting pretty, huh? Yep, she sure is.

If Paula were here, she'd have her name Sitting Bull by now.

I think Sitting Bird would be more appropriate.

That may be.

Hey, what do you think about that hood?

You think she's happy doing her act blindfolded? Well, we're going to take

off once she gets used to being here and accepts her new role of mother.

Well, we hope.

Well, what do you say to some chow?

Ostrich hunting works up an appetite.

What do you suggest for chow?

Anything but eggs.

She's scared her away. What did you do that for?

Well, the poor guy probably thought he was being replaced.

Huh? Work up a bigger appetite by finding a hooded ostrich. Yeah, those

are probably still around.

Yeah, and with that hood on, she's defenseless.

Like a blind man on a battlefield.

Let's go.

What is it, Judy?

Aha! Looks like she went that way. I'll get the noose.

Here, take a walk and talk in case we get separated.

All right.

Judy, you stay here like a good girl and we'll bring that wild ostrich back,

huh?

That's why she's leaving.

No wonder.

I hope the boys catch something as good as this.

Well, that does it.

We've lost her tracks.

Time's running out, Jack.

Maybe we ought to go after another ostrich.

I don't know.

Maybe we should have brought Judy after all.

Jack, an ostrich runs at a speed of 45 miles an hour.

If we lost her, what could Judy have done?

You know, Judy, she...

Told you she could do it.

Jack, Mike.

Both here, Hadley.

Look, Chaps, I want your advice badly. Can you tell me the difference between a

boy's snake and a girl's snake?

Hadley, I should think that would only be of interest to another snake.

Hadley, why don't you go to Marshall's library and look it up in a book?

I would, old boy, but I'm someone tied up at the moment.

You see, according to my list... I have to give Cleopatra medication, and Mark

Antony is fooled, and I don't know which is which.

Now, look, Jack, I'm afraid the snake is pinning me down. You'll really have to

help me. Give me some advice.

Yeah, Hedley.

Run. Oh, but how do I get Cleopatra or Mark Antony to release me from this

supposed Garden of Eden?

Well, maybe you should try tempting him or her with an apple.

It worked once, you know.

Hey, Adley, we cannot chit -chat with you any longer. We have a date with a

ostrich and some cold eggs. Out.

Jack! Jack, don't leave me, please!

Oh, look, Mark, Cleo, please, old dear. I know you love

me, but I really do have to leave.

Toto! Help!

Please, please.

Serang, be quiet.

You'll scare off those giraffes.

Serang, calm down.

Please, Serang.

Oh, Serang, you blew it.

Stay put, Mama, and help us out.

Let's go lay down the law to Clarence.

Okay, Clarence, look.

We have managed to get this situation back to relative normalcy, so please

rock the boat or the eggs.

Clarence, you're not going to make a sound, not even a hiccup. And don't

forget...

So far, so good.

On the contrary, we have problems.

Or will have.

I'm no longer worried about problems.

Realize one thing. We have faced them with Judy's health. Licked just about

everyone in the book. Something is missing from our foster family. I know,

foster father. Exactly. We need a male to keep our little substitute mama happy

here. Sort of keep the home fires burning over the eggs. Yes, but where do

find the male?

I don't know.

You did find one, which would probably take us a month on several marathon

races. There is one small problem.

What's that?

Will the male ostrich be compatible with our female ostrich?

They'll probably tear each other to pieces.

What else are you going to do?

Tranquilize the lady so she will stay on top of the eggs. Right, and as soon as

you tranquilize her, her body temperature goes down.

Well,

we've got to do something, or the eggs will not hatch and those 20 ostriches

will never see the light of day.

The ostrich hunter.

Oh, I give you Judy, the matchmaker.

Ah, but what kind of match? A love match or a free -for -all?

Hmm. We'll just take him over to Mama, find out.

you, Toto. Thank you so much.

Oh, come along, Doris. Come on. Thank you, Toto. You die for Doris so

much better than I do. I don't know what I'd do without you. Thank you very,

very much.

Now, you two get acquainted.

It looks like they dig each other. Yeah, I'd like to get those hoods off,

because until they've seen each other, we can't exactly call it love at first

sight. Uh -huh, but it does prove something else. Here it comes.

What's that? That love is blind.

Not bad.

That's all there is.

Isn't any more.

Well, Henley, what do you think?

Was it worth all the trouble? The trouble I went to?

Oh, without a doubt. It's a magnificent record.

But it's a shame the boys didn't get what they were after. Oh, well, you've

to expect some failure.

After all, no scientific project comes off 100%. Well, didn't you get anything,

not even an ostrich nest with an egg in it?

We got a few shots, but... Oh, really, Mike?

Well, even if you weren't able to save those baby chicks, at least you ought to

run the film for the record.

Well, if you insist.

Guess we'd better run it, Jack. I guess so.

We did the best we could under the circumstances.

You can't blame a chap for trying, I always say. It's not the winning, but

you play the game, you know.

Right you are, Hedley.

Well put, Hedley.

All set? All set.

Okay, it's not much, but there it is.

Hey, Dad, look at that.

So you got the eggs to hatch after all, huh?

But it's simply marvelous.

I mean, how did you film it?

Nothing to it. It was easy.

Look at the size of the baby ostriches compared with the feet of the mother and

father.

Well, I have to hand it to you. You fellas really did a job.

You jokers, congratulations.

We thank you. We thank you. Of course, we have to share credit with Clarence

Judy.

Judy. Oh, no, no, no. Take him away. I never want to see another ring as long

I live.

No, not me, Judy.

Give him to your buddy.
