Ted, a highly enthusiastic guide
at the Bloomsberry Museum, gives a tour to a group
of schoolchildren and their teacher Maggie, who
happens to be Ted's biggest fan. When the museum's
owner, Mr. Bloomsberry, tells Ted that his beloved
museum will have to be closed because of meager
attendance, they decide drastic measures are needed
in a last-ditch effort to save the museum: an amazing
new exhibit, never before seen at any museum. Mr.
Bloomsberry shows Ted his secret journal with a
map to a lost shrine of the African tribe of Zagawa.
Finding and bringing back the gigantic idol for
an exhibition will save the museum! Ted starts planning
his trip to Africa, but Bloomsberry, Jr., who would
like nothing more than to see the museum converted
into a parking lot, covertly sabotages the expedition.
In the jungle, a mischievous little monkey spies
Ted in the distance and decides to make friends.
Ted finds what he believes to be the ancient idol,
and is shocked to find it is absolutely tiny! The
dejected explorer sends a photograph of his discovery
to Mr. Bloomsberry, who mistakenly believes the
picture to be that of the enormous idol. Ted finds
a distraction to his worries when he succumbs to
the charms of the playful monkey. When it comes
time for Ted to leave Africa, his new friend secretly
stows away aboard the ship. Meanwhile, Mr. Bloomsberry
is busy making his plans at the museum to unveil
the prized idol. Arriving home, Ted is horrified
to discover that his simian friend has followed
him to his apartment building, where pets are not
permitted. As if matters couldn't get worse, poor
Ted is now evicted from his apartment building.
Ted is then pushed in front of a press conference
arranged by Bloomsberry, Jr. As he's about to reveal
the truth about the idol, the scene is disrupted
when the monkey accidentally causes the museum's
dinosaur exhibit to collapse. Egged on by his son,
Mr. Bloomsberry fires Ted on the spot. Ted is furious
with this monkey who has caused so much trouble.
As despondent George is being loaded on a cargo
ship back to Africa, Ted quickly realizes George
has brought joy to his life in the middle of his
crisis and runs to the ship to save his buddy. Overjoyed
at the reunion with his human friend, George shows
Ted that the tiny idol is actually the key to a
secret map that will help them find the giant idol
of Zagawa. |
