The story is woven around three characters, Babbar Sher, the lion, chottu, the cub and a massive monkey, Tingoo the terrible. The mon- key is intellegent, the cub curious and the Babbar Sher samewhat aging and reluctant to roar withot rhyme or reason. It so happens that the lady lion gets captured by hunters and the job of rescuing her is left to Tingoo and Chottu-still under training in the ways of the jungle. They manage to trick the hunters but the job is finished by Babbar Sher who for once roars so effectively that the hunters take to their heels. There is a little message in the story too : Real power lies in the judicious use of both brain aud brawn.
