A little white baby living on a hill estate in India is cared for by his ayah and plays with a cat and dog on a verandah. A wily snake lures him into the surrounding jungle with promises of prettier flowers, leading him past predators who plan to eat him; the child's innocence and affection disarm each animal and turn them into companions.
