A plane carrying two Chinese government envoys goes down in the Palombian jungle. A crate is parachuted out just before the crash. It contains a baby panda, official gift of China to a neighbouring country. The young survivor is found and taken in by the Marsupilami''s family, but they soon face a serious problem: their new charge only eats bamboo the only local source of which lies inside the nearby native village...

Deep inside the Palombian jungle, a rickety old boat sails up a sluggish river. On board is one of the world''s most famous hunters, and he''s vowed to be the first to capture a Marsupilami. But that''s no easy prey. The long-tailed creature is smart - much smarter than any human believes. And an alliance with the local natives isn''t going to be much help: they hate the Marsupilami who keeps outwitting them, and they''re desperate to find out what he tastes like...
