Doubt of Africa

"Doubt of Africa" is an episode from The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis
Timon and Pumbaa meet a wisecracking widowed tigress with a constant cold. The tigress has a large family and no way of feeding it, so Timon and Pumbaa try to teach her how to hunt.

Plot
At the start of the episode, a tigress stalks Timon and Pumbaa, who are sleeping. The tigress then sneezes, which makes Timon and Pumbaa wake up and run away from her. But Pumbaa has a feeling that something's wrong when he realizes they're not being chased, so the warthog goes back. The tigress sneezes again and Pumbaa gives her a leaf to use as a tissue.

After Pumbaa talks with the tigress, Timon goes to the warthog and talks to him about predators eating their preys. Then the tigress tells the two that her husband died and now she has to find food for her family, which she is apparently unable to do. Pumbaa wants to help her, but Timon doesn't want to until Pumbaa reminds the meerkat about him owing him one.

Pumbaa shows the tigress that one of the ways to find food is to lift up a rock. Timon then tells Pumbaa that tigers don't hunt for bugs, they hunt for other animals. Timon, Pumbaa, and the tigress then see a bird. Pumbaa tells the tigress that she has to sneak up on the bird in order to eat it. But Timon makes the bird go away when he burps after drinking a ''Bug Soda. ''Timon sneaking makes an elephant beat the meerkat up by pounding him up and down with his trunk.

Timon, now injured, has an idea to make the tigress hunt for her prey. The meerkat places a log on a small rock, a big rock on a cliff, and an animal made of wood probably next to the log. Pumbaa pushes the rock and the rock lands on the log with the tigress on it and makes the tigress fly off. But the tigress falls back on the log and the rock flies off and is about to land on Timon. Luckily the rock lands next to Timon.

Timon then gives up and tells Pumbaa that they should only help someone when they get something in return and says that the tigress is useless. After the tigress leaves the two, Timon and Pumbaa run into a hungry jackal and get chased by it. Timon runs into a tree branch and now only Pumbaa is getting chased by the jackal. Timon then goes to the tigress for help but is too nervous to ask her after what he said about her.

When Timon finally asks her for help, the tigress goes to the jackal and sneezes on him several times, which makes him run into the elephant and get pounded by him. The jackal runs away from the tigress and the tigress chases him. Meanwhile, Timon catches a cold.
