While Jean unpacks in her room, a native woman named Tondra Vida Aldana, who spied on the group in the hotel lobby earlier, knocks on the door. She tells Jean that her husband, Moya Hassam Kayyam, spoke to her of a safari that suffered a tiger attack. Jean asks Tondra to speak to her husband. Although apprehensive to get her husband at first, she quickly fetches her husband when Jean greases her palm. Tondra returns with Moya, who recognizes Jones from a photo of Jeans. He tells Jean that Jones traveled not with the doomed safari but with a group of ivory hunters that went to Africa. Before Moya can say more, someone shoots him with a pistol through Jeans room window. The shooting upsets the unstable locals and the group leaves for Africa.They take a boat deep into the African jungle where they see abundant wildlife. Jean must convince Gary Lambert Robert Lowery, who hates taking women on safaris, to be their guide. She knocks his socks off with her shooting skills with a gun. They also pick up famed safari cook, Gabby J. Edward Bromberg, who likes to recite poetry to his pet monkey and tells stories with belligerent verbosity, which he mistakes for skill. The Commissioner tells Lambert that Jones was on a mission to bust Ivory poachers and wants Lambert to do the same, which Lambert readily agrees. ........
