Plot
"South Sea Sick" begins by introducing Timon, a meerkat, and Pumbaa, a warthog. At the start of the episode, Timon and Pumbaa just had a feast. Timon sees Pumbaa all green and assumes that the warthog is sick. Pumbaa says that he probably just ate a bad bug. Timon reads a book about the bugs Pumbaa ate that made him not look so good. Pumbaa changes colors and then thinks that he's probably sick. Timon thinks it's a good thing because he can play doctor and cure his friend.

Timon puts various objects to cure Pumbaa. First, he puts sugar in the warthog's nostrils, which makes Pumbaa sneeze and run into a tree. Then, Timon examines Pumbaa's X-rays. The meerkat hits his friend's head with a mallet and the bones break. Then, Timon hits Pumbaa with a mallet on a wooden bed. Then, Pumbaa sits on a stool. Timon moves the stool, which makes Pumbaa fall. And then, Timon examines Pumbaa's blood pressure.

Now all Timon has to do is cure Pumbaa. The meerkat reads a book on how to cure his friend. First, he has to twist Pumbaa's snout and then he reads another book and he has to get various stuff. While Timon goes get the things, Pumbaa makes a really loud burp and finally the warthog feels much better. It turns out all Pumbaa needed to do is burp.

Timon comes back with a bag full of things. Pumbaa tries to tell his friend that he feels better, but Timon interrupts and puts a bowl that looks like a turtle shell, puts everything else in the bowl and then steps on the things. Timon sees that Pumbaa looks better than before, and the meerkat doesn't seem happy about that. In order to make Timon feel better, Pumbaa tells him that he just looks better and that he still feels awful inside. So Timon cures his friend by putting the liquid from the bowl in the warthog's mouth and the meerkat assumes that he feels much better. However, when Timon and Pumbaa are walking, Pumbaa doesn't feel good and he has a hiccup with green bubbles coming out of his mouth.
