In the jungles of 1890s India, an orphaned boy named Mowgli lives among a pack of wolves led by Akela.

Mowgli decides to leave the jungle for the safety of his family, and Bagheera, a black panther, volunteers to guide him to the nearby "man-village".

Mowgli retrieves honey for Baloo as repayment and agrees to stay with him until the winter season arrives.
