Lion has been invited to a riverboat party, but instead of looking forward to it, he spends the whole day trying out new hair designs. "I really do have horrible hair, and they are all laughing at me," he sniffs. And then, at the party, he can't join in the fun, in case his hair is spoiled. But when Elephant and Hippo both demonstrate their amazing dancing and sink the boat, everyone ends up drenched in the river. Lion's hair should be worse than ever, shouldn't it?
