A herd of water buffaloes is meandering in a South African game reserve, unaware of a pride of lions lying in wait to ambush. When the herd gets within range, the lions spring into action.

The buffalo herd scatters. A lone calf is isolated from the herd and is sent crashing into the nearby river. About four or five lions start dragging the calf out of the river while it is kicking and screaming.

Suddenly, a pair of crocodiles appear and start pulling the calf back into the river. A furious tug of war ensues between the crocodiles and the lions for the calf. The lions win, and drag the calf ashore.

Just when they are licking their lips for a good meal, the buffalo herd regroups, responding to the bleating of the calf. They attack the lions. One ferocious buffalo gores a lion with his horns and sends him flying into the air. The other lions scatter.

Soon, the so-called kings of the jungle are in complete disarray and are running helter-skelter, chased by the buffalo soldiers.

Meanwhile, the calf has struggled to its feet and has rejoined the herd. The law of the jungle has been upturned; the pride of lions dented.
