[BLEATS]
Paula, come on, now. Your breakfast is getting cold. Now sit down and eat it.
l'm sorry, Dad. Oh, it's the 18th.
Yes, it's the 18th. What about it?
lt's been a whole week that Judy's been gone.
l don't think she's ever coming back.
Oh, she's probably in serious trouble. Dad, l just don't know what to do.
l don't think there's any reason to think that she's in trouble.
Oh, Dad, you know this is leopard country.
Yes, but, uh, Judy is probably the most intelligent chimpanzee l've ever known.
l think she's smart enough to stay out of trouble.
Well, l hope so. Last time l saw her she was taking Clarence for a walk...
...and wearing your old army dog tags.
My old army dog tags?
Well, she looked like a little old, condensed wax sergeant.
[CLARENCE GROWLS]
Clarence...
...where did Judy go?
Clarence, please try and remember.
You're the only one who can possibly help us.
Come on, Clarence, try. Come on, take us to Judy. Come on, Clarence.
Oh, Dad, he doesn't know. He's just as depressed as l am.
He's been moping around like an overgrown hippopotamus all week long.
l think the hardest thing to face is, probably, what really happened to Judy.
But, Dad, you don't mean it.
No, no, l don't think that.
No, l think Judy left of her own free will.
l think she found someone or something that she wanted or needed more than us.
Maybe a-- Maybe a chimpanzee family.
But, Dad, there aren't any chimps in this area. lt's leopard country.
Well, you and l know how strong family feeling can be.
Don't we both miss your mother?
lf Judy has found a family, we should be happy for her.
The only possible place that a troupe of chimps would be is here, in Sumbawa...
...where there aren't any leopards. And that's over 40 miles away from here.
Well, yes, but 40 miles isn't much when you have something you really want.
Oh, hey, when Judy needs us or misses us, she'll come back.
l wonder, Dad. l wonder.
[CHlMPS CHATTERlNG]
MARSH: Judy's need to be with animaIs of her own kind...
...must have been overpowering.
It isn't common for a domesticated animaI to be accepted by wiId ones.
But Judy had somehow managed it.
[SCREECHlNG]
MARSH: The faII had hurt the baby chimp.
It hurt her seriousIy.
Judy knew immediateIy that the baby's onIy hope...
...depended on her bringing the toto back to Wameru for treatment.
[LEOPARD GROWLlNG]
MARSH: A chimp can sometimes outmaneuver a hungry Ieopard...
...but not when that chimp is weighted down, as Judy was.
She had to find a taII tree with a Iight branch...
...that wouId not hoId a Ieopard's weight...
...and trust to Iuck, Iike an eIephant in the area scaring the Ieopard off.
[ROARlNG]
Everything checking out all right?
JACK: Yeah, just fine.
PAULA: Dad, will he recover?
Well, a ripped tendon is a pretty serious thing...
...for an animal that must survive by speed alone.
But he's young, and that's a great plus.
Paula, we're gonna need some more tape.
Judy. Hey, Dad, Judy's back.
She's what?
PAULA: She's back.
Hey, Dad, look.
Mike, Jack, take over.
Well, what have we here?
[GRUNTS]
Wait a minute.
Hey, this toto is pretty sick.
Jack, Mike, take the cheetah to the recovery area, will you?
Right.
-Got him? -Mm-hm.
[GROWLlNG]
Judy must have carried this poor baby for miles.
[GROWLS]
We better have a look.
Here we go. Careful, there may be some broken bones or internal problems.
There we are. Hand me my stethoscope, will you, Paula?
Yeah, there's some bad congestion.
And she's badly dehydrated.
Yeah, possible concussion.
Possible internal injuries.
l hope Judy didn't do all this for nothing.
lt may be too late.
Come on. We better take some x-rays.
Easy. Easy, now. Come on. Come on, there, baby. Yeah, yeah.
Judy, you're a doll.
Well, we know that she isn't Judy's baby.
Judy must have attached herself to a chimp family.
Poor Judy. She must have carried this toto through leopard country all alone.
She sure did, and just in the nick of time.
l'm gonna stick her in the incubator. Easy there. Attaboy.
She'll have to have a liquid diet high on vitamins.
l want her temperature and blood pressure checked every two hours.
-Right. -No infection.
-Mm-hm. -No, we're okay there.
[CHATTERlNG]
Shh, Judy. Your little toto's got a fighting chance. We have to be careful.
Judy, don't leave. Judy!
Come here. Oh, Dad, talk to her.
Come on, Judy.
Judy, come here, listen to me.
Judy, listen to me.
Judy, l can understand how you might wanna go away.
But we're gonna need you.
Now, l'm a doctor, and a doctor can only do so much, do you understand?
When the toto wakes up, Judy, she's going to want to see her mother.
Not Paula, not Jack, not Mike, nor me.
His mother. And we haven't the mother here.
Judy, you're going to have to substitute for her.
Her life depends on it. You understand?
Will you try? Good girl.
Well, gentlemen, l think we have ourselves a new nurse.
-You wanna show her the ropes? -Yes, sir.
All right, Nurse Judy, if you will come with me, please.
Now, your first assignment is going to be of a supervisory nature.
l want you to watch this baby very, very carefully. Understand?
[ALARM RlNGlNG]
Well, good work, Judy.
Well, the toto looks a lot better thanks to you, Judy.
How'd it go?
Fine. All patients accounted for and doing well.
-Good, good. -How's the toto?
Pretty good, pretty good.
She'll, uh, still need a lot of attention, but she's coming along fine.
Judy was up to check her three times during the night.
-Okay. -Oh.
Well, Judy, how would you like a day off?
[CHATTERlNG AND SCREECHlNG]
Well, that's a quick answer.
Do you think the chimp family's gonna be worried about their missing toto?
Oh, yes, l think they're very worried. And confused.
Well, Judy, how about some fresh air? Huh?
-Dad, we'll be right outside, playing. MARSH: Okay.
Judy?
Judy, where are you?
Judy?
Ah.
Hey, you were pretty hungry.
Yeah, it's a good sign.
Dad, she's gone. Judy left again.
What? What do you mean?
Well, l guess she took you at your word and took the day off.
Only l think she's gonna be gone a lot longer than a day.
lt's funny how she waited around just to see the toto recovering, and then left.
Well, maybe we'll be all right without her.
Maybe? Why maybe?
Well, she's not over the hump yet.
lf anything goes wrong, she could have a serious setback.
l hope the shock of her leaving doesn't hurt the toto too much.
Well, we could try keeping her under sedation to avoid shock.
Well, no noise, no upset, no shock.
Hey, look, l'm sure Judy didn't realize how serious this was.
You know, we tend to overlook it, but she is just a chimp.
l guess l always expect too much from Judy.
Keep forgetting she has her own life and her own ways.
MARSH: We shouId've known better...
...than to think Judy's motives for Ieaving were seIfish...
...but we didn't.
We thought she was going back to them...
...having fuIfiIIed her obIigation to save the baby.
Judy knows a Iot of shortcuts even we didn't know...
...but in spite of that, it was stiII a Iong and dangerous trip.
[CHlMPS CHATTERlNG]
[SCREECHlNG AND HOWLlNG]
MARSH: What we didn't know was...
...that she wanted to bring the chimp famiIy back...
...so they couId see for themseIves that their baby was in good hands.
First, she had to convince them.
Then she had to gain their confidence enough...
...so they wouId foIIow her back through the Ieopard's hunting grounds.

[ELEPHANT TRUMPETlNG]
How far do you want it?
Go back just a little bit further. Yeah, whoa, whoa. Right there.
That should do it.
[JACK GRUNTS]
-Here. How's that? -Yeah, that looks perfect.
Marsh, why so far from the clinic? That's where we usually do it.
lf he recognizes something, he might let out a howl and scare the toto.
l wouldn't want that to happen.
Well, go on, take a look, now.
All right, Clarence. How about it?
[GROWLlNG]
[SCREECHES]
[SCREECHlNG AND HOWLlNG]
Well, better try the next one.
[GROWLS]
Hey, he recognized that one from further than last week.
Paula, let me have the eye patch, will you?
Oh, Dad, l'm sorry, l forgot it.
Oh, that's all right, honey.
Look, um, don't worry about Judy. She'll be back all right.
Okay, Jack, try the next one.
[GROWLS]
Well, he may have recognized it, but it certainly didn't excite him.
lf he even knows it's an animal, he sure doesn't show it.
He knows it. He just doesn't happen to like zebras.
Well, you may be right, Paula.
So l, uh-- l had Jack make up another card that, uh, l think will do the trick.
Well, l'll tell you one thing. Clarence is lucky to be with us.
lf he had to survive by hunting, he'd have to do it in a meat market in Ngoro.
Okay, let's, uh-- Let's try one eye at a time. Here we go.
Let's try this eye.
Oh. You gotta get that eye stronger.
Now, let's try it again. Take a look.
Come on. There we go.
All right, all right, l'll leave you alone, now settle down.
You know, the strain on his good eye must be tiring for him.
Jack, let's try those eye drops.
l didn't know you'd need them, Marsh.
They're back at the house. l'll get them.
Mike, do you wanna-- Do you wanna try the next card?
Okay.
Let's see what happens here.
Now, Clarence.
[SCREECHlNG AND HOWLlNG]
[CHlMPS SCREECHlNG NEARBY]
[GROWLS]
Try the next card.
Hey, if this one doesn't do it, nothing will.
[ROARlNG]
Good boy. He recognized it.
JACK: Marsh!
Marsh.
The lab. l-- l think we've been invaded.
[TRUMPETS]
[SCREECHlNG AND CHATTERlNG]
Oh, brother.
PAULA: No! -Where's the toto?
They got the toto.
Stupid, idiotic thing-- Why would they do a thing like this?
How did they know the toto was here?
Oh, l don't know.
But l think l've got a good idea.
Just what l thought. Come on, traitor.
Look at this, Marsh. She ought to be kept in a cage.
lt's not her fault.
Not her fault. Whose fault is it? She brought them here.
Look at this microscope.
She thought she did the right thing by bringing the chimp family here.
She wanted to show them the toto was recovering.
Oh, sure, and all this is out of gratitude.
-Oh! -Cut it out, you two.
Daktari, there's $800 worth of damage here.
l see the damage.
Marsh, why would they have done it?
How many humans have you known...
...destroy something for no apparent reason?
Oh, well, you make them sound like a bunch of juvenile delinquents.
Exactly. Scared, confused children.
And don't blame Judy. She was only trying to help.
So let's get down to business.
Jack, what was the last blood-pressure reading on the toto?
Um, sixty over ninety.
-Will she be all right? -Ooh. No, not without medication.
Judy. Judy, listen to me.
The toto is very sick and is going to need Daktari's help.
Now, Judy, can you take us to the toto? Hmm?
Let's go. lf we don't find that toto in two hours, she'll be dead.
Do you see her?
Yeah. Straight ahead.
Well, from here, it's on foot. Let's go.
There they are.
l don't see the toto.
-No. Let's get up closer. -Uh-uh.
No, this is as far as we'd better go.
[HOWLlNG]
Take a look around.
They're all around us.
Yeah, mad too.
Guess they didn't work off their hostilities in the lab, huh?
But we can't just sit here. What do we do?
Well, l don't know yet.
Depends on how alarmed they get.
Judy, come back here.
Well, we better watch it.
They might even attack Judy.
Jack, get the rifle ready.
All right, but they're mad at us, not at Judy.
Yes. Let's just hope they don't connect her with us.
lf they do, they might kill her.
We can't let her take that risk.
What do we do?
Hold it, hold it.
Hey, it looks like they might be accepting her.
Judy's found the toto.
Uh-oh.
The mother's putting up a fight.
Yeah, she's fighting Judy.
How's she doing?
She's getting close to the toto.
The mother's getting boiling mad.
She's getting the others stirred up too.
Paula...
...if anything goes wrong...
...we'll try to scare them off while you go to the truck and go for help.
Judy's gonna get hurt. Dad, we have to do something.
There's nothing we can do but sit tight.
The mother's hurting Judy.
Hey, Jack, hold it, hold it.
lf we interfere now, it'll make matters worse.
-Easy, girl. Easy. -What is it?
Attagirl. She's got the toto.
Come on, girl, come on.
Judy.
Come on. Over here, Judy.
-She's made it. Let's go. -Oh.
Good girl, Judy. Good girl.
Oh, Judy, you're a doll.
Attagirl, Judy.
There. Let's see you now, huh?
Let's see. Open your mouth a little. Attaboy.
Yeah.
ls the baby all right?
Has a little congestion.
Not too bad, though.
Have to keep her warm.
All right, come on.
We better get out. l wouldn't want them to change their minds.
Come on, fellow.
Okay, now this over here. No, not to eat it, just to--
Come on, just let me listen for a minute.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Ha, ha.
Well, heartbeat's normal, congestion is all cleared up.
Red and white cell count normal.
Why don't we weigh her?
Nineteen and a quarter.
l'd say we have a very normal chimp.
Thanks to Judy.
We'll return her to her family in A-one condition.
Okay, come on.
[CHlMPS CHATTERlNG]
Hey, Dad, look. They came back.
Shall l invite them in?
No, Paula, l think that's about as far they'll come.
No, if they wanted to come any closer, they would.
Family and friends, ready to escort her back home.
[CHUCKLES]
You know, l think she is all right. Look at her.
Yeah.
Come on.
Go on over to Judy.
Yes, indeed.
