On their journey to the jungle, Jungo and Rita are being chased by Smutz and Blitz, a journalist and a photographer. They reach the South-European coast by train and with their pursuers close upon their heels, they're struggling through a number of obstacles to get to the beach. Eventually, after a lot of turmoil and commotion, our friends end up racing a jet-ski at a breakneck speed and crash into a large cruise-ship. The pursuers have lost track of Jungo and Rita, who manage to hide in a lifeboat on deck.

  • no air date24m

While hiding on the cruise-ship, finding something to eat without being discovered is the biggest problem. On board we also find a gangster mama and her two sons, who are planning to kidnap the baby of the wealthy Croesus- couple. Sneaking around the ship with different purposes, our friends' and the gangsters' paths cross a number of times and Jungo and Rita ruin the kidnappers' plan, more or less by coincidence. And by accident, they end up in the lifeboat with Baby Croesus, drifting on the dark ocean...

The lifeboat with Jungo, Rita and Baby is washed up on an African shore. Rita and Baby end up with an African family, where the gangsters - who have tracked them down - again fail in an attempt to get hold of Baby. Baby's eccentric billionaire grandpa fetches Baby in his heli-jet, and takes Rita, too. Jungo follows, riding on one of the heli-jet's feet. On the Croesus' estate, Rita's being kept as Baby's pet and once again the gangsters show up. This time, Jungo stops them from getting away with the kidnapping. The billionaire locks him up as a pet-hero with Rita in Baby's luxurious nursery...

Jungo has gotten fat, sick and tired of the luxurious life as the billionaire's pet, and Rita misses her freedom. The gangsters are watching the estate and see the animals' failed attempts to get away. They also witness the arrival of a Latin American General, who wants to buy Jungo as a symbol for his country. So the gangsters see to it that our friends manage to get out, catch them, and sell them to the General who takes them to Junglandia - the land where Jungo's own jungle is. Smutz and Blitz show up to get their sensational photo but Jungo and Rita manage to escape, and they make it to the edge of the jungle...

Jungo's back where he's born, meets his old friends, the monkeys Zik and Zak, but Rita doesn't feel welcome. The place is full of unknown dangers too, but Jungo tries to make her believe that "The Spirit of the Jungle" makes sure that most animals help each other to survive. A newcomer, the jaguar Sharpclaws, is a perilous disturber of peace. Jungo develops his "Spirit of the Jungle"-idea, and gathers all his friends to carry out a sly, masterly trick that chases Sharpclaws away, convinced about the danger of "The Spirit". Rita's beginning to feel she's among friends...

But thoughtless Zik and Zak wake the bad guys up, they spot Jungo and set a trap to catch him.

Rita manages to free Jungo with help from his old friends, two ship-rats who also show them the way to a freighter where another friend, Meatball Charlie, is working as a cook. The General's men almost catch Jungo, but he and Rita escape on Charlie's ship. Out at sea, the mean captain finds Rita and takes her away - which makes Charlie go on "Meatball Strike".

Our friends are living peacefully on the island. Occasionally, Rita's tired of Jungo's cocky manner, but his tricks impress her. At first, she doesn't believe him when he says he learned all the tricks by himself, but then he tells her his story. He was found as a baby in the jungle by some animals who didn't think much of him at first. But a number of encounters - with both friendly and dangerous animals - taught him to know his own abilities and limitations, and made him the Master of Tricks. His antagonists learned to respect him and he finally made friends with the monkeys Zik and Zak, who gave Jungo his name.

When Rita's trapped by the lynx, the beavers help Jungo to save her. Jungo and Rita, with the Elf on her back, continue to the north. In a marsh, they run into a bear who's acting at the shooting of a commercial. Jungo persuades the Movie Bear to join them as a free animal - this way, our friends get a great means of transportation. Jungo also tries to persuade the reluctant Elf to teach him how to become invisible...

In the mountains, the bear misses the easy life as a movie-star. Rita and Jungo want to find food to cheer him up, but get caught by trolls. Cocky Jungo teases the trolls by claiming he's "the master of tricks". The trolls take Rita as hostage to force him to prove his statement: He will make trespassing hunters leave the trolls' land. Jungo's plan is to let the bear scare them away, but first he has to take their gun which scares the poor bear stiff. At last, the hunters get scared into their tent. The trolls grab it as a sack and throw it down a slope to a Ranger's cabin - where the hunters get arrested for poaching.

Our three friends are on their own in the wilderness. Coincidentally, Smutz and Blitz are "hunting" trolls for an article, but see Jungo instead. They phone the General, who immediately takes off.
