Episode synopsis
Passionate about video technology, Malinowski has created a unique setup involving a camera attached to a dog, capable of transmitting signals to both a handheld monitor and a mobile broadcast van. His invention seems perfect for tracking criminals, but during the initial test run, the system fails. Offering the inventor another opportunity, Troy enlists his sons, Josh and Peter, to give the device another try. Accompanied by their dog Muddy, the boys venture into the wilderness and come across a secluded cabin being used as the base of operations by two suspicious figures, Deke and Dooley, whose trade is growing marijuana. Things take a dangerous turn when the duo takes Josh and Peter hostage. Luckily, this time Malinowski's invention proves effective, successfully relaying footage from the cabin. With this critical information, Troy launches a daring rescue mission.
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.
