A game of jungle hide-and-seek has gone hilariously wrong. The colorful patchwork elephant is eagerly awaiting a visit from his black-and-white checkered cousin, Wilbur. When Wilbur fails to show up on time, the entire herd sets out into the dense trees to find him. But tracking down Wilbur is no easy task because he is a master ventriloquist! By throwing his voice, the sneaky cousin tricks the search party into looking in all the wrong places, sending them on a wild goose chase past the lions and tigers. But Wilbur's clever practical joke backfires when he ends up trapped high in the branches of a tall tree, leaving it up to his friends to safely bring him back down to earth.
