Who is the most popular animal at the zoo? There's only one way to find out - by counting which cuddly toy sells the most in the gift shop of course! To find the winner, all of the zoo animals go head to head in an ultimate talent contest - the tapirs sing, the orangutans use their circus skills and the baboons try their hand at stand-up comedy. Everyone's sales are up except the gorillas, so in a last ditch attempt to boost their popularity, Geoffrey plays his enchanting 'nose-flute' - but it will it be enough to impress the public, or will an unsuspecting animal win the popularity contest?

With their constant yelling and arguing, the baboons are giving the entire zoo a headache. The constant commotion is keeping Jenny the lion awake, making Mani the rhino's ears ring and it's stopping gorilla Jurgen from reading his 'book'. With all the zoo's animals at breaking point, the pressure is mounting on baboon keeper Kate to keep her pesky primates happy and quiet. Most of her presents and tricks backfire spectacularly, making the bothersome baboons even more noisy, but finally she stumbles on something unexpected that keeps them very quiet indeed.
