Sense & Senegambia

"Sense & Senegambia" is an episode from The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis
After Pumbaa fails to catch a cricket, Timon thinks it's because he has a problem with his senses of seeing, hearing, and smelling, so he goes to the "Doctor's Office" to buy expensive aides. Later, Pumbaa realizes that he has to believe in himself to catch bugs.

Plot
"Sense & Senegambia" begins by introducing Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog. The episode starts with Pumbaa chasing a cricket. He then runs into a tree and loses the cricket and then Timon shows up with some bugs. Pumbaa tells his friend that he can no longer catch bugs. Timon finds it hard to believe at first, but then starts thinking that the reason the warthog could not catch bugs is that something's wrong with his sense of seeing. So the meerkat goes to the "Doctor's Office" to buy a pair of glasses.

Now that Pumbaa's wearing glasses, he now believes that he can catch bugs. The warthog chases the cricket from earlier, but runs into several obstacles. After Pumbaa runs into an elephant, he lies down and then sees the cricket. Pumbaa walks away because he believes that the cricket is something that's going to "eat his brain" and then he falls off a cliff and runs into Timon. Timon then believes that Pumbaa has a problem with his sense of hearing, so he goes to the "Doctor's Office" to buy two horns for Pumbaa's ears.

Pumbaa, now with horns in his ears, looks for the cricket. The cricket gets in one of the horns and makes a sound so loud that it makes Pumbaa dizzy and run into some other obstacles. The warthog then gets hit by a truck, flies off, and runs into Timon again. Timon now believes that Pumbaa has a problem with his sense of smelling, so he goes back to the office to buy a vacuum cleaner for Pumbaa's nose.

Pumbaa, now with a vacuum cleaner in his nose, goes searching for the cricket, but then the leather gets pushed by a tree branch and the vacuum cleaner goes out of control and gets everything (including Timon) inside of it. Timon gets out of one of Pumbaa's nostrils and pushes the leather back.

Pumbaa then smells something and the cricket takes out a perfume, throws it to a rock, which hits a log that makes Pumbaa fly up a cliff. The warthog falls down the cliff, hits and breaks a piano Timon's playing, and lies down, making Timon believe he's dead.

Pumbaa dreams that he's chasing the cricket, but then runs into a bigger cricket who steps on the warthog. Pumbaa is tied to a rope and a group of crickets is about to make him fall off a rock cliff. Then Pumbaa's uncle Ernie shows up from the clouds and tells Pumbaa that he has to believe in himself in order to catch bugs.

Pumbaa then wakes up and is now able to catch and eat bugs because of his dream. The warthog then tells Timon that his senses of seeing, smelling, and hearing were not the problem and that the problem was that he did not believe in himself. Timon is happy about that, but then says that there is something that needs to be fixed.

Timon and Pumbaa get in the "Doctor's Office" and Timon tells the "doctor" to give him his money back. Then it turns out the doctor is the cricket Pumbaa was after. The cricket calls the other crickets and they all run away and Timon and Pumbaa chase them.
