Synopsis:

A faithful adaptation of Rudyard Kipling's classic tale of Mowgoli the jungle boy who is raised by wolves after being lost when a tiger attacked an encampment and killed his father. Years later he finds himself re-united with his childhood love Kitty and back in the 'civilization' of Colonial India which he finds far less civilized then his jungle haunts. The search for a lost treasure shows who the truly civilized members of society are.

Adaptation. Set in India in the days of the Raj. Mowgli is 5-years-old when his father is killed and he is carried off into the jungle by Shere Khan, the tiger. Mowgli is brought up by a wolf pack, his closest friends being Grey Brother the wolf, and Baloo the bear. When he becomes an adult Mowgli once again encounters his childhood sweetheart Kitty, and is induced to try and fit into British life. After many adventures Mowgli returns to the jungle, this time with Kitty.
