Tom Newman, a hydro-electrical engineer, arrives in Africa with his family to help build a dam. His daughter, Jessica, isn't getting along with her stepmother, Amy, because she is not happy about her parents divorce. The next morning, Amy, Jessica and her brother David go on a game drive with Brian, a ranger, while Tom goes to the dam. While driving off-road, David asks the ranger to stop the jeep because he has to defecate. Brian grabs his rifle and escorts David to a nearby tree. They encounter two lionesses, backed by a lion behind them. One lioness attacks and David runs back to the car, where Brian sacrifices himself to save the others. The keys lost, Amy, Jessica, and David are trapped in the car and stalked by the lions, who devour Brian. Back at the lodge, Tom is informed of his family's disappearance, and attempts to contact Crawford, a professional hunter and guide, at the suggestion of the park rangers. Crawford refuses to help him, as he is a big five hunt guide, not a leader of search parties. The next day, after not being able to accompany the rangers in the air, Tom goes to see Crawford, and manages to hire his services at the latter's own price. Back in the car, David spots Brian's keys, and Amy retrieves them, only to wreck the truck when she drives the wrong way. Crawford and Tom look for signs of them while checking in on the rangers trail periodically, but the rain the previous night has washed away any tracks. When the rangers fly by without noticing them, Jessica gets out and tries to draw their attention. She fails and, along with Amy, is attacked by one lioness, which is killed by two native hunters.

When Elsa is held responsible for stampeding a herd of elephants through a village, John Kendall, Adamson's boss gives the couple three months to either rehabilitate Elsa to the wild, or send her to a zoo.

At last, Joy succeeds, and with mixed feelings and a breaking heart, she returns her friend to the wild. The Adamsons then depart for their home in England; a year later, they return to Kenya for a week, hoping to find Elsa.

Dans une forêt tropicale, les animaux (un hippopotame, une girafe, un singe) se moquent ouvertement du lion, supposé être le « roi de la jungle ». En effet, le lion en question est complètement bête et incapable. Mais piqué au vif, il cherche à prouver qu'il mérite ce titre en chassant un autre animal, un lapin. Pour son malheur, il se trouve que ce lapin est Bugs Bunny. Le lion essaye d'attirer le lapin avec une carotte tout en l'appelant « bunny » (qu'il prononce « pony »). Bugs indique sa présence par un panneau de signalisation de passage de train où est inscrit : « rabbit tracks » . Le lion voit les empreintes de pattes de Bugs, puis une voie de chemin de fer où déboule Bugs dans un nuage de fumée (jeu de mot avec « tracks » : les traces de lapin et les rails du train). Bugs vole la carotte au passage. Le lion lui court après, se trompe de voie (revient en arrière sur l'aiguillage d'un tronçon de chemin de fer), se retrouve avec le lapin dans les pattes en passant à travers un arbre creux. Pendant que Bugs sort sa réserve personnelle de carottes (sous forme d'un étui à cigares), le lion sort ses griffes une à une... la dernière se trouve être une lame tire-bouchon ! Le lion, honteux de son penchant pour l'alcool, la replie prestement. Le lapin, lui, hume une des carottes comme un cigare. Il la présente au lion, qui donne un coup de patte, la découpant en rondelles. Le lapin en avale une avec gourmandise. Il remue ses oreilles. Le lion tente de l'imiter sans y parvenir, et s'énerve. Le lapin, en discutant encore, dit qu'il est supposé avoir peur. Il mime la peur et réussit à s'enfuir avec des cris et des poses de cabotin. Le lion le retrouve chantant et déguisé en ramasseuse de carottes « poétique », avec un grand chapeau de paille. Bugs remarque le lion qui s'approche en rampant. Aussitôt, le lion fait mine de « nager » nonchalamment. Puis il bondit sur le lapin, est coiffé du chapeau au passage. Bugs Bunny se sauve, plonge dans son terrier. Il en ressort avec une porte. Il ouvre au lion qui y frappe, se moque de son chapeau, lui montre son reflet dans un miroir. Le lion en rit aussi. Le lapin en profite pour déplacer la porte. Le lion croit qu'il est enfermé et essaye d'enfoncer la porte. Le lapin l'ouvre au dernier moment, le lion est emporté dans son élan dans le décor. Il revient brusquement et tient enfin le lapin sous la menace de sa patte griffue, quand un coup de téléphone l'interrompt : c'est son épouse qui l'oblige à rentrer. Le lion abandonne Bugs, qui rit de voir le lion ne pas être le chef, même chez lui. Alors qu'il se vante devant le public de l'être, apparaît M Bugs Bunny dans une jupe. Bugs file doux et rentre dans le terrier conjugal en rampant. « Qui porte la culotte dans cette famille ? », demande-t-elle.
