Julius Plumford (a good friend of Brydon's) decide that they must re-introduce Mowgli to civilization. Katherine discovers an old bracelet of her mother's one she gave to Mowgli when they were children, and instantly realizes who Mowgli is. Boone and his men manage to capture him and find the golden dagger from Monkey City in his possession. Mowgli enters the village in search of Katherine. Katherine is also in a relationship with one of Brydon's soldiers, Captain William Boone.

She and Mowgli meet again, but neither recognize the other. Elsewhere, Katherine and her father are still stationed in India. Winning King Louie's respect, Mowgli keeps the dagger as a trophy. Forced to fight for his life, Mowgli succeeds in wounding the snake with a golden dagger that he retrieves from the treasure horde. Twenty years later, Mowgli, now a young man, discovers Monkey City, a legendary ancient city filled with treasure belonging to King Louie the Orangutan, who has his treasure guarded by Kaa the python. Mowgli also befriends a bear cub named Baloo. Mowgli is taken by Bagheera, a gentle black panther, to the wolf pack. Brydon and his men believe Mowgli has been killed too. In the confusion, Mowgli is lost in the jungle with his pet wolf cub, Grey Brother. He kills the first two hunters, but when he tries to kill the third hunter, Buldeo, Nathoo defends Buldeo, who ungratefully leaves him to be mauled to death by the tiger. That night, the deadly tiger Shere Khan attacks the encampment, intent on killing a trio of soldiers who had been shooting several animals for fun in the jungle earlier, which had enraged him. On one of his tours, he is leading Colonel Geoffrey Brydon (Sam Neill) and his men as well as Brydon's 5-year-old daughter Katherine (Joanna Wolff). In 1886, during the British Raj in India, Mowgli (Sean Naegeli) is the 5-year-old son of the widowed Nathoo, whose wife died in childbirth.
