Daktari - Season 3

Marsh cares for a leopard with a brain disease. Judy takes care of its cub but is in for real trouble when the cured animal comes back to the center looking for the baby.

Dr. Tracy and Paula try to convince the governor of Hedley's competence as District Officer when they hear rumors that Hedley is being forced to retire. In the meanwhile, Judy lets a royal lion cub lose and ties an old ransom note to Clarence's neck leading everyone to believe that the cub has been kidnapped. A daring rescue by Hedley allows him to keep his position.

A journalist decides to "expose" the study center as a fraud and claims that it has no purpose. Mike, Paula and Jack trick him into believing that they saved his life and that he owes them a debt. But Dr. Tracy's conscience won't allow him to let the man believe that.

Judy escapes from a space experiment for chimps to a village where the people worship chimpanzees. Judy is made ruler. When the crew from the compound comes looking for her, they find that Judy is very changed.

A former bullfighter comes to the compound to be trained as a game warden. However, the animals seem to have a strong aversion to the man, making his job that much harder.
