Plot
"Manhattan Mishap" begins by introducing Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog. At the start of the episode, an airplane crew kicks a crate of the plane because of its smell. The crate falls in the water and then gets on a desert island. Timon and Pumbaa, dressed as if they're going to a broadway show, come out of the crate.

While Timon and Pumbaa are excited about being at New York, a hungry castaway sees the two and wants to eat them. Timon introduces Pumbaa to New York by showing slides on the city. After Timon shows Pumbaa three slides on the desert island, Pumbaa tells his friend that they're not in Manhattan Island and that they're stranded on a desert island. Timon and Pumbaa see the castaway and ask him if he has seen Manhattan Island. The man tells them that they are in Manhattan Island and that he's a tour guide. Timon is suspicious about the man, saying that he's a hungry castaway who needs to take a bath. The man brings a pot and makes the two believe that it's a cage and tells them that they're going to Central Park. Timon and Pumbaa fall for it, but Pumbaa says that he would rather go visit New York City since he and Timon already live in a jungle.

The man starts cooking Timon and Pumbaa while the two believe that they're actually at a broadway show. After the man puts food on the pot, Timon and Pumbaa realize that they're being cooked and try to escape from the man, which proves to be difficult. When the man is about to eat the two, Timon and Pumbaa tell him that he cannot eat them because of their weight and things.

Timon and Pumbaa help the man get out of the island. First, they build a plane. But Pumbaa can't hold the leather much longer and the plane starts going down the ramp and falls and crashes on Timon. The two then put the plane on a tree. Pumbaa wants to cut the rope, but Timon won't let him and the meerkat cuts it himself. However, the plane crashes back and forth and then it stops on Timon.

Timon and Pumbaa try one last thing to get the man off the island. The two put jet plane wings on the man's back. The man starts flying and then goes away. Timon and Pumbaa are happy about helping the man get off the island, however, they realize that they are trapped there themselves. Pumbaa has a feeling that they're are going to starve, but Timon tells the warthog that they will survive even if they're stuck on the island for 50 years.
