Synopsis
Solomon and Mortimer, two mischievous young crocodiles, are bored and seeking adventure. They attempt tree-climbing, lizard-chasing, and even flying, but each endeavour ends in disaster. Spotting the largest hippo in the river, they decide to surprise him, anticipating a massive splash. However, their prank backfires spectacularly, leading to unexpected consequences and a valuable lesson about the perils of mischief.
