Then one day, when he is sent out to the garden to try and play, he finally makes a friend" the fast-talking, quick-thinking, ultra-intelligent baby elephant, Alise. Together the two friends set out on a series of exploits.

But the friends don't stop at just having fun. The Bearded Bandit has spread terror among the elephants in the forest and someone has to stop him.
