Baruti and Jamila, an elephant couple, migrate into Tantor's herd to protect their hypochondriac son, Jabari, from the mad rampages of Mbaya, an elephant gone "rogue". Tantor and Jabari instantly bond, but through a series of coincidences, Tantor comes to believe that he's responsible for Mbaya's recent rampage through Tarzan's protectorate and retreats into the jungle. Meanwhile, Jane attempts to discover something that Tarzan's afraid of.

Disgusted by the decay near the elephant territory, Jane tries to use an English vine to cover up the scent. But the vines cover up everything and are too poisonous to eat. While Jane and the Professor try to think of a solution, Tarzan invites the elephants to live with the gorillas, but how long can they live together in harmony?
