Nigel is abducted by a herd of wildebeest who reside in the volcano and their leader, Kazar, pronounces him " The Great Him," based on an " omen" he received when he was young: about to be devoured by lions, a toy koala fell from a plane and scared the lions away, saving his life.

With the help of a pigeon, Hamir, Samson, and his friends go after Ryan, hiding in a garbage disposal truck, but Benny falls overboard. Just as he regrets his decision, Ryan suddenly gets locked inside the container, which is then loaded onto a freight truck, shipping him away.
