In the tropical north, they take on some bird smugglers and help a sensitive crocodile get back with his family. On the coast, they settle a dispute between penguins and sea birds over a lighthouse. They also liberate some animals from an automated farm, gatecrash an exclusive holiday resort, help run a cinema, join a circus and visit the city. And despite being lost themselves, they never hesitate to help out other animals in need.'
