Shere Khan, The Tiger, is in hiding from the village hunting party. He is after a little boy who he has separated from his family. Lost in The Jungle, the boy meets different birds and animals. Bagheera, The Panther, and Baloo, The Bear, take him to Raksha, The Mother Wolf, who calls him Mowgli and raises him as her own. The rest of the Wolf Pack accepts him.

As time goes by he is a teenager with Baloo and Bagheera still teaching him The Laws of The Jungle. They tell him of the power of the Red Flower, the Fire. Mowgli wants to test the power of the Red Flower with Shere Khan, who is still threatening him. He goes to the village, where he sees Kitty, his childhood friend. Returning to the jungle, he has a disagreement with Baloo and Bagheera and goes deep into the jungle where the Banderlogs, The Monkeys, kidnap him. Baloo and Bagheera call on Kaa, The Python, to help rescue him.

Mowgli is now grown up. He visits the village more often to see the beautiful Kitty. His story is told by Buldeo, The Village Hunter, although greatly exaggerated. When the threat of Shere Khan grows more dangerous, Mowgli gets the support of the villagers and the Wildebeasts in defeating Shere Khan. The victory is celebrated by all.
