Dixon Bainbridge asks Bob Fossil to set up a highly illegal and shady kangaroo boxing match between the terrifying “Killeroo” and Howard. Howard thinks that by winning the fight he will impress the Head of Reptiles, Mrs. Gideon.

All is not well at the Zoo-niverse. Animals are disappearing one by one. Things go from bad to worse when Joey Moose, one of the zookeepers, goes missing.

Bollo, the eldest and most respected gorilla at the Zoo-niverse, is gravely ill. Bob Fossil persuades Howard to dress in an ape suit, replacing Bollo, so that he can continue accepting sponsorship money for the gorilla.

In an attempt to compete with daring adventurer Dixon Bainbridge, Howard and Vince set off in search of the Egg of Mantumbi. Into the whiteness, the nothingness of the Arctic Tundra, the boys come face to face with hideous ice demon Black Frost.

Dixon Bainbridge, owner of the Zoo-niverse, is intent on selling to the highest bidder. Howard and Vince embark on an arduous trip deep into the Jungle Room, in search of the only man they think can help save the zoo - Howardâs hero, Tommy Nookah.

Howard is hell-bent on a career as a serious writer. However, when famous publisher Hamilton Cork arrives at the Zoo-niverse, he decides to publish Vinceâs literary efforts about a pink bubblegum character called Charlie.

According to Vince, Howard’s past career as a jazz trumpeter does not measure up. When Vince is offered a chance to join a new band, ‘Kraftwork Orange’ with Johnny Two Hats and the Electro Girls, he’s intent on leaving everything behind, including Howard.

Ivan the bear has developed some very anti-social habits and attacks Fossil. Fossil arranges a place for Ivan at an Animal Offendersâ Institute. All he has to do is find a couple of idiots to drive Ivan there in the clapped-out old Zoo-niverse van.
