The cast of The Jungle Book is back but this time the setting is 1930s Cape Suzette and Baloo is a bushpilot for a struggling courier company--"Higher for Hire"--in the Pacific Islands. He's joined by a daredevil orphan Kit Cloudkicker, the swinging restaurant owner Louie, his tenacious boss Rebecca Cunningham, her daughter Molly and the company's absentminded mechanic Wildcat. Life would be fairly quiet in the Cape if it weren't for industrial business giant Shere Khan, the wacky Don Karnage and his Air Pirates and, of course, Baloo's usual bumbling ways.
