gathering cry for the beasts of the jungle. An elephant hears Buddy, sees the enemies, and gathers, with its trunk, acorns, which then it fires, to great effect, at the natives. Buddy catches a spear in his teeth, fires it back at its thrower, and catches the native, by his nose ring, on a tree. A kangaroo then emerges and punches the trapped enemy, while a smaller native kicks the belly of the beast, from which, naturally enough, emerges a baby kangaroo, which then takes a mighty and successful swing at the tiny belligerent. Apes load coconuts into a hippopotamus, and another ape swings from a tree to kick the beast, which then, by mouth, launches the palm projectiles at quickly frightened, retreating natives. Dodging most, the fleeing warriors are struck from the rear by one, and, as they are running in a straight line, are bunched together at once, and thrown thus off a cliff, into the water beneath. A monkey emerges from the beak of a pelican and fires coconuts at the tribal chief and his litter-bearers, knocking out the two servants and sending the chief flying; the hippopotamus continues to fire coconuts and hits the Chief numerous times. Another ape successfully uses a cat as a bow from which to fire long needles at the Chief's behind. Buddy, watching, swings down from his hut and catches his enemy by the neck. Wrestling the Chief into submission, Buddy again lets loose his jungle roar and is outfitted with the same crown worn, not a moment ago, by the defeated native chief.
