Lassie #2/1965

In the remote reaches of northern Nigeria, the Martins find themselves stranded after an emergency landing, trapped by a hostile nomadic group who blame them for the Emir’s illness. With time running out and their lives in the balance, Paul sends their loyal dog, Lassie, on a desperate journey across treacherous desert terrain to fetch a medicine kit from their stranded plane.

In "Elefantgutten og røverne," Po stumbles upon a band of bandits in the jungle who try to recruit him for a raid on a nearby village. When he refuses and instead warns the villagers, the gang is driven off — but not before their leader, Bo Gyi, swears revenge.

In the village of Gelwa, Ruth’s bold challenge to a witch doctor’s unsanitary goat milk trade sparks a dangerous retaliation when he sabotages the rickety bridge the Martins must cross. As the family nears safety, chaos erupts when the witch doctor stumbles between a hippopotamus and a crocodile—only Lassie’s quick thinking saves him. With quiet dignity, Ruth offers the man a new aluminum pail, ladle, paper cups, and stool, turning a moment of conflict into one of unexpected grace.
