Daktari is an American children's drama series that aired on CBS between 1966 and 1969. The series, an Ivan Tors Films Production in association with MGM Television, stars Marshall Thompson as Dr. Marsh Tracy, a veterinarian at the fictional Wameru Study Centre for Animal Behaviour in East Africa.
Dr. Tracy pays a visit to two Frenchman who say they are paleontologists, but who are actually diamond smugglers.
A sick circus bear escapes into the bush, and Dr. Tracy tries to find it before worried local ranchers kill it, fearful that it will contaminate their water supply.
A man on the run from the law slips into Wameru to retrieve stolen loot he had buried there previously. What he doesn't know is that Judy the chimp had already found it and dug it up, and that Dr. Tracy has been arrested for possession of it.
The staff at Wameru is treating a sick baby elephant, and Paula is distrustful of her father's visiting college mentor, who is too interested in finding the secret of the elephant graveyard.
