This pleasant family fare has North forced to give up his pet puma when his family moves to a small town. The animal hides out in a trailer and the clan unwittingly brings it with them to the new home. North's father, Davis, has the boy give the pet to the local zoo, run by Milner. Though accommodations are nice, North feels sad that the animals must be locked in cages. When he has a chance, he steals Milner's keys and lets all the beasts loose, and mayhem results, with hippos, lions, elephants, zebras, monkeys, and the beloved puma running amok. Finally the beasts are herded up, and the town votes on some much needed new funding to improve zoo conditions. It's all rather silly for adult viewers, but then adults weren't the intended audience. Directed by the creator of TV's "Flipper." leave a comment
