The animals' instincts and natural or taught abilities allow the diverse group of Prince, an Indian Snow Leopard, and Khan and Indian Tiger, along with Darleene a deer, Mortimer an fast talking crow and Babu a near blind once working elephant to stay 'one step ahead' of their pursuers.
Trophy hunter billionaire Bridget Gingold and her lackeys use every dirty trick to reduce the opposition and claim the last great prize, near extinct animal hides.
Bridget's business enemy, one whose business she wants to take over, is also on the hunt for a Snow Leopard for his wildlife ranch and has positioned himself with the latest in satellite and computer tracking equipment where he hopes Prince will pass.
Then there are the trackers for profit also following the animals.
Another tracker, Indian conservationist Kashgar, originally signed on as a tracker for the Gingold outfit, realizes Prince is the leopard he raised as a cub, and now with Wanderer, his tame Eagle scouting high above the tree canopy and grandson Rawal along for the experience he uses his jungle craft to help the animals.
