Together Jomo and Matt develop a relationship with a baby orphaned elephant whom they name "Ellie." The young pachyderm is being held by the rangers pending her sale to Harlo Ethridge, an unscrupulous American businessman, who plans to make her the centerpiece of his tourist exhibit back in the States. When Harlo arrives to collect his elephant, Matt and Jomo hide out on the back of his truck, and at a certain opportune moment, release Ellie and escape with her into the bush, hoping to find a wild herd which might "adopt" baby Ellie.

They even land in the tiny village jail. And while they are battling to win Ellie her freedom, this time it is Ellie who does the liberating. As they approach the chosen elephant herd with Ellie, they come upon Harlo's overturned jeep and find him lying helpless and wounded.
