Episode synopsis
One evening, while catching tadpoles at the lake, Peter observes strange figures in silver suits doing rather mysterious things. The boy believes the figures to be aliens and subsequently suffers from nightmares. The next day, his brother Josh discovers tire tracks on the lakeshore that lead to the farm of the eccentric Harwood. At the same time, numerous animals on the Johnsons' ranch have fallen ill. After the monkey Plato drinks from the lake water, he too becomes sick. Furthermore, Peter's tadpoles have died. It turns out that Harwood is storing chemical waste on his farm, which is being secretly dumped into the lake by two unscrupulous men named Albert and Freddie, who are wearing silver protective suits. Josh and Troy are captured by the two villains. Then, the loyal dog Muddy appears.
About Hollywood Safari
Troy Johnson works as a park ranger in the mountains of California. But besides his work in the nature park, which involves preserving the beauty of the mountains and keeping a watchful eye on visitors, Troy has another job: Together with his wife Jayne and their children Josh and Peter, the Johnsons train a wide variety of animals, some of them quite exotic, for Hollywood productions. They are supported not only by Greg Nickels, but also by their monkey Plato and their dog Muddy.
