The Jungle Book

- Season 3

(2019)

When Mowgli claims that he is a part of wolf pack, after rescuing Tabaqui from a trap, Phaona decides to teach him a lesson with Masha's honey that makes Trikki go crazy. Phaona prompts Mowgli to eat the honey after which he starts saying that he is the king of the Jungle. Mowgli makes fun of Baloo and Bagheera which seems odd to them.

When Bagheera gets a very poisonous thorn deep in his paw, Baloo tells Mowgli that the only way to stop the poison from spreading is by using an antidote from Frangipani flowers which can only be found in Harjit's territory.

Baloo is teaching Mowgli, Bagheera and Chota trick on rescuing themselves from the coils of a snake. Chota sees a spider just above Baloo's head and loses focus when Baloo asks him a question Mowgli comes to Chota's rescue.

Nargoo, Rangoo's mate is carrying twigs in his beak for the nest and a gust of wind whips him to and fro. The wind ejects Nargoo and carries both the nest and the Egg. Nargoo and Rangoo realizes that the wind has taken their nest and egg. In the Jungle, the egg is inside the nest which is being carried away with the wind.

When Darzi overhears Hathi and Gajjini talking, she assumes that Hathi is leaving everyone and going away. After Hathi leaves, Gajjini goes over to Baloo and tells him the plan she is planning to surprise Hathi he returns but Darzee couldn't hear this over the noise if wind rattling with the leaves. Baloo sees Darzi and acts ill so that no one can know about their surprise to Hathi.

Mowgli, Bagheera, Trikki, Appu, Hita and Darzee are having fun by playing acrobatics. When Hita is unable to throw the banana, she thinks that she is up to no good as she is heavy and can't fly and wants to be more like the monkey who can easily pass on from one tree to another. Hita leaves the area and Darzee catches up to her and tries to cheer up her, but nothing works.

It is a dusty morning at the Cold Lair, with cracked coconut shells and banana peels all over the ground. As usual, Masha is barking orders at Mona, Mera and rest of the monkey gang to instill some order and clean up the mess. From afar, Masha sees Mowgli walking down the path with a lot of juicy fruits in his hand.

Shere Khan watches the spectacle where Baloo saves Bela from falling off the cliff. Not just that, the bear also saves her honey. Everyone in the jungle seems to think that Bela is a manipulative bear who uses everyone for her own good. Baloo realizes this and leaves.

Watching from a distance, Mowgli sees Tabaqui falsely leading Chota on a path. His intentions of taking the tiger cub to Shere Khan as a snack are pretty clear. Mowgli interrupts this plan by asking Tabaqui questions on what he is doing. Tabaqui who is taken aback to find Mowgli there, gets confused, meanwhile Tigeress Chanda listens to the conversation and is angry with Tabaqui.

Baloo is taking his usual botany lessons about flowers and their scents and it can be seen that Mowgli doesn't have a good sense of smell whereas Bagheera aces the class because of his senses. On the other hand, Lali and Bala are out playing and trying to annoy Harijit. From a distant view, Kallu is watching everything.

Baloo announces that to celebrate the start of Dry season, the jungle has the contest of King's race. Where the first animal who brings back an entire Lotus to the contest's judge, is crowned King for a Day and a party is organized in his honors. As soon as the news gets out, Mowgli and Bagheera get themselves ready for the race and share some competitive banter against each other.

It is friendship's day in the Jungle; all the animals are very excited as friendship day calls for a party. Masha and her monkeys are organizing the party and have made banana party for the animals. Tabaqui is lurking in the shadows wanting one of those bananas. On the other hand, Harijit takes two of the bananas from the pyramid and all the Monkeys run behind him.

Rana is known for his clumsiness. His friends keep making fun of him. Just when he thinks he will change this assumption of people, Mucie steals his lunch and runs away. Mowgli is watching all of this and wants to eat as well but he runs behind Mucie and gets Rana's lunch back. While returning the lunch, Mowgli asks Rana if he can share. This kind gesture of asking leaves Rana's friends impressed.

Rana is being chased by an Antelope and he is struck in the wooden bridge whose planks are missing. Antelope is ready to charge at Rana when the wolf pack led by Mowgli arrives and rescues Rana. Masha appears and makes fun of Rana, ashamed of himself Rana wants to be a part of wolf pack.

Tabaqui is disappointed when he is unable to catch a field mouse. Wandering aimlessly in the friendly area, he spots Guzzelguts and threatens him. Jakala swaggers from behind and make fun of Tabaqui who is surprised and leaps backwards.

Bagheera can't sleep because the toads keep making noise, Mowgli offers to go and check what's wrong but finds Jakala crying. On asking what's wrong, Jakala says that his children are gone to find the Great Rainbow-Colored Crocodile. Jakala continues by saying that he made that up and the children believed him and decided to look for him.

Bagheera and Mowgli are racing with each other in the jungle. Tabaqui comes in between and is hit by Bagheera which causes a big bump on Tabaqui's head. Baloo tries to apply Aloe Vera to it but the mere thought of it scares Tabaqui, but a drop of Aloe Vera falls on Tabaqui's head and gives him relief.

Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera are in the friendly area, where Baloo examines the tree trunk where they usually sleeps. Baloo says that the tree is covered in fungus and is suffocating the tree, he continues by saying that they should probably find another place to sleep for the night. Mowgli goes pale and Bagheera tries to console him.

Mowgli along with Baloo and Bagheera has formed a strange pyramid against a banana tree to grab a large bunch of bananas. Guzzelguts and Trikki crashes into Baloo and the pyramid collapses. Guzzelguts and Trikki rush to help Mowgli Baloo and Bagheera. Mowgli is happy to sees Trikki and Guzzelguts friendship.

Harjit is dozing blissfully when Chupchip and Trikki plays a prank on him by keeping a mango just outside the entrance of his burrow. Just as he was about to take a bite, they whisked mango under his nose. Harjit gets annoyed and shouts at both of them for playing tricks. They both starts laughing.

Mowgli and Bagheera learn that by following the tracks of an animal, a lot can be learn about them. Amidst the lesson, Baloo also tells them that it's not just tracks but all animal droppings that help in understanding what the animal eats, where it goes and a lot more.

Ponya has come to say good bye to Baloo, Bagheera and Mowgli as she is leaving to the mountains and will come back only after winter. Ponya talks about the winter on the mountain and describes snowflakes and its scenery. Mowgli is fascinated and wants to go see them with Ponya and experience the beauty of snow.

Mowgli is back with three big fishes after fishing and is very pleased. He shows it to Baloo and Bagheera sitting by the river bank with excitement, only to find that both of them are responsive and staring into the distance fixedly. Mowgli tries everything but they don't move. Vira informs that it was Kaa who hypnotized the two into sitting there.

Tabaqui is down with cold and goes looking for Baloo for some honey to cure the cold. Mowgli is irritated to see that everything in the jungle is disrupted- the fruits aren't growing fully- because several swarms of bees have disappeared. Baloo cures Tabaqui with the little honey he has left.

Laughing over a trick Mowgli plays on Kaa by drawing a face on Kaa's tail that leads Kaa into believing that his tail is his brother, Kallu tells Tabaqui that he can imitate Man cubs voice. The two of them use this to plot a plan to set a trap for Mowgli. At first Mowgli refuses to believe that there is another man cub in the jungle and dismisses it as a mistake by Tabaqui.

Everyone in the Jungle seems to be ill including Shere Khan. On the other hand, Rikki wants to tell everybody how he won a showdown and got the dragon fruit but nobody seems to listen to him. He feels saddened to see that nobody shares his excitement or is happy for him. Hence he fakes an illness when Baloo seems to care a little.

While helping getting rid of weeds for Chanda and Chota, Mowgli accidentally rubs his eyes which makes him go blind temporarily.

They follow the smoke and finds that it's coming from the human village. The villages are burning Jimsonweed which is causing the animals to fall asleep. Before Mowgli could go and extinguish the fire, the smoke stops.
