When a Man Cub enters Mother and Father Wolf's cave, rather than turning him away (or eating him!) they call him Mowgli and raise him as one of the wolfpack. As he grows up, his friends, Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, teach Mowgli about the jungle law. For a while, everything is fine, but the jungle is no place for a Man Cub.
