When his life is threatened by the tiger Shir Khan, the wolf family, along with panther Baghira, make the decision to take Mowgli to a human village where he will be safe. However, Mowgli refuses to leave the jungle - he receives support from Baloo the bear, who also teaches him a lesson in "coziness." When other dangers reveal themselves in addition to the threat of Shir Khan - including the snake Kaa and the monkey gang around King Louie - Baloo also understands that Mowgli's safety cannot be guaranteed in the jungle. Mowgli escapes once again when he finds out that Baloo has betrayed him as well. In a final showdown, Shir Khan and Baloo fight during a thunderstorm after the tiger had attacked Mowgli. With the help of a branch on fire, Shir Khan can be driven away. Arriving at the end of the journey, Mowgli suddenly hears the voice of a human girl and voluntarily follows her to the safe settlement.
