Synopsis for "The Day the Jungle Died!"

Lorna and Mikki come across a larger gorilla fighting with a smaller, frailer gorilla and breaks up the fight. With Mikki was interpreter, she convinces the larger ape to share his ration of coconuts with his smaller companion, the negotiations turn out to be a success.

As Lorna and Mikki swing away they are shot at by two men and dive into the brush for cover. The two men gloat over how shooting is like the good old days when they run into the two gorillas that Lorna helped earlier. Before they can shoot the two primates, Lorna disarms them. The men then plead that they're new to the jungle, but suddenly change their tune when the two apes suddenly keel over. The leader of the pair explains that they have poisoned all the food in the jungle using a crop duster and that the animals will eventually die without the antidote allowing them to take over the jungle like they did their old hometown.

When the rest of the mobsters arrive in a crop dusting plane, Lorna springs into action, getting into the plane and forcing the pilot to take off. She then forces him to unleash the antidote, dusting all the effected area and revitalizing the sickened animals. The revitalized animals then chase the mobsters to the nearby jail where they are eager to surrender to the authorities.
