Summary[]

Diego and Baby Jaguar are returning a group of animals to their home in Madagascar. But one animal, Sara the Sifaka Lemur, hasn't been home in such a long time, that she can't remember how to get there!

Plot[]

On the island of Madagascar, Diego and Baby Jaguar are returning some native animals, that had been inappropriately taken away to be used as pets. When the arrive, the animals leave the Rescue Boat and reunite with their families. However, the boys notice that Sara, an unhappy sifaka lemur, cannot find her way back to her family, due to being away too long. Using Click to locate and give directions in order to get to the other sifaka lemurs, Diego and Baby Jaguar endeavor to reunite Sara with her family.

They go past the Spiky Trees, where Sara (using her tough hands) and Diego climb a spiky tree to rescue a brown lemur whose tail is stuck on a breaking branches spiky thorns, thus allowing the brown lemur to return to his family. After helping Sara defend herself from a fossa, they go past the Rocky Caves, where Diego helps a mouse lemur find his family within those dark caves. As they reunite each different species of lemur with their families, they gradually cheer Sara up. Finally, following directions from a group of ring-tailed lemurs, they go to the rainforest and deliver Sara back to her sifaka lemur family. They catch up to them by bouncing from tree-to-tree, making Sara super happy and completing Diego's mission.
