PLOT SUMMARY
When a tiger attacks an
encampment, young Mowgli is lost and ends up being raised
in the jungle by the animals. Many years later, he is
returned to civilisation in Colonial India where he is
reunited with his childhood friend Kitty. When he becomes
involved in the search for a horde of lost treasure,
Mowgli comes up against some of the less palatable
aspects of 'civilised' life.
