Bella the Bright Baboon is a curious and intelligent young baboon living in the African savannah. When she notices that some fruit trees have stopped bearing fruit, she sets out to investigate and learns from Wise Old Ollie the owl that the absence of bees and butterflies is to blame. Bella mobilizes her troop to plant flowers and protect them, attracting the insects back and restoring the fruit trees. Her determination and bright spirit earn her the admiration of her troop, and Bella learns that a curious mind and a kind heart can solve any problem.
