Panic is sweeping through the usually peaceful jungle. The dreaded elephant hunters are on their way, and the entire herd is terrified of being caught. Luckily, the brightly colored patchwork elephant has a brilliant, albeit ridiculous, plan to outsmart the trackers. Since the hunters only look for elephant footprints on the ground, the clever hero convinces his gray friends to walk high above the jungle floor using tall wooden stilts. The frantic preparations involve finding the strongest branches and learning how to balance without falling over. But as the hunters draw closer, the overly complicated escape plan begins to unravel, proving that sometimes the most elaborate schemes lead to the most hilarious disasters.
