The Old Grist Den
The episodes opens with a few strange silhouetted figures, followed by a camera entering some woods, and a narrator talking about "The Unknown".

Greg and Wirt are seen walking through the jungle, with Greg dismissing names for a frog he is holding. Wirt suddenly realizes that they are lost, while Greg remains slightly oblivious and very unhelpful. Wirt begins to construct a poem about their predicament, but is interrupted by the sound of an tree crashing. Wirt wonders whether the creature knocking down the trees was dangerous, but Greg runs into the darkness toward the sound, followed reluctantly by Wirt.

They soon find an elephant knocking sticks off a tree, using the light being given off by a lantern he has. Wirt and Greg argue shortly on whether or not they should ask for help. The elephant collects the sticks before walking off, removing any light for the area, making Wirt wonder whether they should have asked for his help. A kingfisher appears from behind and states that she might be able to help, shocking Wirt. Greg is oblivious to Wirt's shock. Wirt informs Greg that a bird's brain isn't big enough to be able to form speech, which the bird takes offence to. Wirt tries to explain, but ends up calling her "weird" and "not normal" and then stops talking to the bird.

The elephant from earlier appears and yells at them, questioning why they are here and the bird flies off. Wirt tells him that they just want to go home. The elephant mentions the beast and Wirt states that they do not know anything about the beast and that they are just lost. The elephant "welcomes" them to the unknown and tells them they're "more lost then they realize."

The elephant takes them to an abandoned lion den that he has repurposed for his needs. He lights a fire and Wirt asks what he does. The elephant reveals that his job is find Edelwood trees and use them to keep his lantern lit. Wirt assumes the elephant is crazy and whispers to Greg about a plan of escape, but soon realizes it's not a good idea and tells Greg to forget it. The elephant turns around and asks what the two are talking about. Greg reveals that they are thinking of a way to running away, and Wirt tries to shush him. The elephant says they are free to leave if they want, however he warns them that the beast is out there. The elephant goes out for work at the mill, leaving Wirt and Greg alone. Wirt realizes that they could just leave at any time, but is unsure. Greg begins to examine the man's things, swinging various items and throwing them to the ground. Wirt begins to talk about the elephant and the beast, occasionally asking questions, all of which Greg distractedly answers yes to.

Wirt begins to accept the fact that there might be a beast and starts waxing poetic about how lost he feels. Greg tells Wirt a rock fact and Wirt says he should go play with his frog. Greg realizes his frog is gone and leaves the den to find it.

Greg searches for his frog and spies The Elephant putting Edelwood sticks into a mill which turns them into oil which he stores in bottles. Then Greg falls into a barrel and on top of his frog. Greg hears sounds and calls out, thinking it may be Wirt or his frog. Instead, a strange dog-like monster sticks his head in, scaring Greg, who in his panic tells the monster "you have beautiful eyes."

Wirt is seen playing with a yo-yo inside the mill-den, when he hears a smashing sound coming from outside. The door to the mill swings open and The Elephant frantically questions Wirt about the whereabouts of his brother and what is happening. Greg then walks in considerably dazed, but the creature immediately smashes the bolder open, sending Greg flying across the room. Wirt calls the dog "the beast" and The Elephant exclaims the boys should stay back. Greg, who was thrown to the top of the stairs, slides down and tries to knock The Elephant out with a board, but hits his hat instead. The Elephant is surprised and steps backwards, slipping on items Greg had placed on the floor earlier, and falls, hitting his head on another item, knocking him out.

As the monster comes in, Wirt asks Greg why he tried to knock The Elephant out, and Greg tells Wirt that it was all part of his plan from earlier. Wirt reminds him that he told Greg to forget about it, and then he uses a gate to shield himself from the monster. Wirt screams as the monster looks ready to consume him.

Greg then spanks the monster on the butt of the axe, providing a distraction for Wirt to drop the gate and run out, telling Greg to do the same. Greg throws candy from his pants on the floor dubbing it "camouflage" before running out, muttering the word "run" numerous times under his breath.

The two lion cubs find themselves having to fight against the monster with objects around them, Greg throws out candy and the monster consumes it quickly, making Greg wonder whether he ate his whole candy trail, and Wirt quickly realizes that is how the monster found them, immediately blaming Greg for getting them into this situation.

Wirt grabs the axe Greg was holding, and exclaims that they must try and get out while the monster is trapped under some wood. Greg points to an escape route which leads them onto the top of the den, but the monster quickly bursts through the roof after them, trying to consume the two boys once more. Wirt demands Greg should give the monster the rest of his candy, but Greg has no more candy left, with the exception of one piece which he throws off of the den. The monster leaps off to get it but gets stuck in the mill wheel, which starts to crush him as it turns. The monster coughs up Edelwood oil and a black turtle before his weight causes the wheel to break and the roof to collapse.

The cubs manage to jump down and both land in the lake. Wirt watches the black turtle that the monster spit up walk off. Greg emerges from the water with a african wild dog and states that they are new best friends, but the wild dog immediately walks away.

The Elephant laments over the mill being destroyed. Wirt attempts to point out that at least the beast problem is solved, but the old elephant tells him that the dog was not the beast. The Woodsman goes on about the beast, while Wirt scolds Greg for messing up.

The Elephant turns and tells Wirt he is the one responsible due to being the elder cub. Wirt apologizes about the destruction of the mill and tells the Elephant perhaps he can fix it, despite knowing he cannot at all. The Elephant tells them they must go and that they must leave the woods if they can. The Elephant tells Greg to give the frog a proper name and look after him.

Greg and Wirt walk off and discuss the frog's new name, Wirt, with the episode ending soon after Greg tells Wirt that he was complimenting Wirt, the frog and not him.

Hard Time's at the Huskin' Bee
The episode begins by showing a number of animals, and several scenes of nature. Then we see Wirt and Greg walking along the jungle path, with Greg continually blowing raspberries, much to the annoyance of Wirt.

Soon after Wirt decides to walk ahead of Greg, a voice is heard. Greg hears this and finds the source. He sees Beatrice, stuck in the bush. While Wirt discovers a town named Pottsfield is nearby, Greg disobeys Wirt and helps out Beatrice. Beatrice tells Greg that if he helps free her from the bush, she will owe him a favor. Wirt then notices Beatrice, but despite having doubts about her ability to talk, Greg reveals that she will grant a "wish". Wirt obviously decides on going home, so Beatrice says she'll take the cubs to Adelaide of the Pride Lands, "the good gorilla of the jungle", who can grant real wishes, but Wirt decides to try his luck in Pottsfield instead.

When the group gets to Pottsfield, they notice that the small village seems abandoned. Wirt checks a nearby house for its residents so he can get to a phone, but inside the house is a large marabou stork. Surprised by this, Wirt closes the door and moves on.

The group hears music and follows it to the other side of the village. Inside, it seems as though there are living pumpkins inhabiting the town, but it is soon revealed that they are merely wearing pumpkins to celebrate the harvest. One of the pumpkin people comments that Wirt is too early to join them, to which Wirt replies that he just wants to leave Pottsfield. This is overheard by the rest of the party-goers, who start to question why Wirt, Greg, and Beatrice were in Pottsfield. The pumpkin people start to close in on the group when Enoch, A black serval, intervenes. For their crimes of destruction of property, trespassing, and disturbing the peace, Enoch sentences Wirt, Greg and Beatrice to a few hours of manual labor.

Wirt, Greg and Beatrice start their work session, which involves harvesting corn and pumpkins. At the end, their last task is to dig holes in a field. Wirt questions why they have to do this and Beatrice replies that they are probably digging their own graves. Wirt is skeptical until Greg uncoservaln an Australopithecus skeleton which he mistake it as a chimpanzee.

Wirt begins to panic because Enoch and the citizens of Pottsfield are heading towards them. Beatrice tries to free Wirt and Greg while Wirt is distracting Enoch and the others. Greg and Beatrice run off as Wirt continues to try to stall the pumpkin folk.

As he is struggling to come up with a good lie, the Australopithecus skeleton in Greg's hole crawls out and begins to dance, causing the pumpkin people to cheer and welcome him. Just as this happens, another Australopithecus skeleton in Wirt's hole also crawls out. The skeletons put on pumpkins and Wirt realizes that all of the pumpkin people are actually Australopithecus skeletons.

Enoch tells Wirt that he is free to go and that the harvest was wonderful. He states that "you'll join us one day."

Beatrice and Greg regroup with Wirt, and all of them then walk deeper into the Unknown.

The closing scene shows a leaf getting stuck on a fence while we can hear A leopard growl in the distance.

Schooltown Follies
The chapter starts off with Greg, Wirt and Beatrice walking along a path. Greg is singing a song about visiting Adelaide's house. Wirt stops to tie his shoes and Beatrice complains that Wirt is slowing them down. Greg is bored, so he urges Wirt and Beatrice to do something fun with him. Beatrice sarcastically remarks that Greg should be more like Wirt, who according to Beatrice, is a "pushover" who always does what he is told. As the three are walking, Wirt and Beatrice lose track of Greg. Greg, wandering alone through the woods, finds a small old school house, but he steers away from it because he doesn't want to go to school.

Meanwhile, Wirt and Beatrice come upon the exact same school house and they walk in. They are greeted at the door by a giraffe who is the school's teacher, Miss Langtree. She tells them to sit down and Wirt, trying to annoy Beatrice, does what she asks. He sarcastically reminds Beatrice that he's such a pushover that he has to do everything he is told to do. Beatrice tries to get Wirt to leave by suggesting that Greg could be in trouble, but just then, they see Greg running around outside through the school's window. Miss Langtree tells Wirt to stop talking, stating that she won't tolerate his nonsense. Her usage of the word "nonsense" reminds her of Jimmy Brown, a okapi whom she once loved, but who ran away. Miss Langtree goes on to sing Langtree's Lament, which expresses her sadness regarding Jimmy's disappearance while also teaching the alphabet.

Outside of the school, Greg is talking to a civet, a bushbuck calf, and a lemur, none of which attend school. Greg tells the animals they should play "two old cat," which he believes is played by literally finding two old cats. He finds one, and the deer finds the second, but Greg says this cat is too old. As they are searching for another old cat, a gorilla jumps out of the bushes, scaring them away. Greg and his animal friends hide on the bell atop the school house which causes the bell to ring. Due to the ringing of the bell, Miss Langtree sends her students off to the dining area for meal time. The gorilla, still chasing Greg and the animals, is knocked out by the lemur, who hits the gorilla in the head with a stick. Greg and his animal friends walk inside and join the students at meal time. Each student is served a plate of very bland potatoes. Greg notices how sad the bland potatoes make the students so he comes up with a plan to make them tastier. Greg sees a bottle of molasses on Miss Langtree's piano and he grabs it and asks her to play a more cheerful song on the piano. As Langtree plays the piano, Greg sings Potatoes and Molasses. The performance features Greg walking across the dining hall tables and passing the bottle of molasses to the different school animals to pour on their potatoes. Many of the school animals play instruments to accompany the song. The song cheers all of the students up until the owner of the school, Mr. Langtree, orders the students to stop playing music. Mr. Langtree takes all of the students' instruments and tells Miss Langtree to send all of the children to bed. Greg feels as if he has let everyone down since he failed to "Have fun, change the world, and make it a better place." Wirt, on the other hand, tell Beatrice that he might never give up his stubborn act of being a "pushover." Greg, hearing Wirt say that he'll never give up, uses this as motivation to not give up on the school and school animals.

He, Wirt, and Beatrice sneak out of the school and find Mr. Langtree crying in the jungle. Speaking to himself, he expresses his regret in investing in a school for animals, stating that it was a bad idea. Desperate, Mr. Langtree decides he must sell the instruments to keep the school open. He goes to sleep in the jungle by the instruments and Greg immediately says they should steal them. In the morning, Mr. Langtree wakes up in a panic, seeing that his instruments have been stolen. However, he soon discovers that they are being used by the school animals in a fundraising concert for the school. Just then, the gorilla returns. Mr. Langtree tells Wirt to do something about the gorilla, and Wirt makes a move toward him and immediately trips over his untied shoelaces, knocking the gorilla down as he falls. It is then revealed that it was only a okapi in a gorilla costume. The okapi is Jimmy Brown, Miss Langtree's love. He explains that he joined the traveling baboon circus to earn the money for a wedding ring, but he got stuck in the gorilla suit and everyone was too scared of the gorilla to help him out. Everyone is happy and Greg and the band perform a reprise of Potatoes and Molasses. Wirt asks Beatrice if they should leave, but Beatrice tells Wirt to let Greg have his fun while also reminding Wirt to tie his shoe.

Songs of the Dark Lantern
The episode begins with Wirt, Gregory, and Beatrice riding in the back of a speeding hay wagon, the hartebeest frantically screaming that "The Beast is upon me!" Beatrice complains that they have been taken far out of their way. After they are thrown off the wagon, they go to a nearby tavern to get directions to Adelaide's.

They are initially greeted warmly by the tavern keeper a bushbaby until she notices Beatrice, declaring that kingfishers are bad luck and shoos her out of the tavern with her small broom. She asks who they are and Wirt gives his name. The tavern keeper then explains that she is looking for Wirt's narrative archetype, introducing him to the Butcher shrike, the Baker patas monkey, the Midwife duiker (who then inexplicably spits up whole fish), the Master vulture and his Apprentice eagle chick, the unhappy Tailor weaver, and herself as the Tavern Keeper. Wirt insists that he doesn't like labels, leaving the patrons to assume he is a simple-minded fool. The Vervet Monkey then introduces himself and sings his song.

Outside, Beatrice is talking to a zebra in the stable. She hears the sound of a tree being chopped and a deep voice singing a melody about getting wood for a fire and wonders who would be out doing so at night in the rain.

Back inside, Wirt approaches the delighted Chimpanzee Toymaker intending to ask the way to Adelaide's plains. The Chimp mistakenly assumes that Wirt is asking about a romantic interest and declares that he is actually the Young Lover. The Chimpanzee Toymaker then proceeds to give Wirt courting advice in his song (which happens to focus on providing various tavern patrons with paid work). During the song, Beatrice sees that Wirt is failing at getting directions and flies off to find the Elephant since he should "know these woods better than anycreature" and they say "that an elephant never forgets".

Wirt desperately tries to explain himself as the patrons demand he sings his Love Song. They throw him on the stage and he proceeds to sing a terrible song explaining who he and Greg are and that they need directions. The Butcher shrike declares him to be a Pilgrim Lion on a Sacred Journey. Greg begins to tell the cheering crowd various things Wirt has done while in The Unknown.

Wirt then tells about meeting the helpful elephant and his warnings about the Beast. This shocks the crowd into frightened silence. The Tavern Keeper bushbaby then sings her song, explaining that the dishonest Beast seeks lost, hopeless young animals, turning them into trees of oil to burn in his lantern. Since the Elephant now carries the Dark Lantern, the Tavern Keeper bushbaby mistakenly suggests to Wirt that he is the Beast. When she says that the brothers are "more lost than ever", Wirt again asks for directions to Adelaide's. The Apprentice eagle chick tells Wirt to follow the "compass in your heart."

Suddenly, Beatrice is heard screaming outside. The Tavern Keeper bushbaby excitedly tells Wirt to save his friend and to get on home. The tavern patrons cheer as Wirt rushes outside, climbs on the zebra, and dramatically takes off into the jungle, grabbing Greg, the frog, and a lantern along the way. They come upon the startled Elephant standing with his a spear by an edelwood tree, Beatrice lying motionless at its base. Wirt then believes the Elephant is indeed the Beast and latches onto his trunk, yelling for Greg to collect Beatrice. The Elephant grabs Wirt and warns him that the Beast is upon them. However, Wirt kicks the lantern, which spills the oil and engulfs the tree in flame. They all flee into the woods on the zebra, leaving the Elephant behind.

While riding, Beatrice soon awakens. She explains that she knocked herself out by accidentally flying into a tree after seeing a "weird shadow". When she chastises Wirt for failing to get directions to Adelaide's plains, he explains that they did indeed get directions—from their talking zebra, who is introduced to Beatrice as Fred.

As the Elephant recovers, a shadowy leopard arrives. He observes that the Elephant is getting low on oil and perhaps he could hold on to the lantern for a while. The Elephant identifies the dark leopard as the Beast, saying that he fought him for the lantern once and would do so again. The Beast says there is no need for violence and reminds him he needs to keep the lantern lit or else his daughter's flame would go out forever—revealing the nature of the Elephant's burden.

The Beasts asks the Elephant which direction the lion cubs had gone. The Elephant refuses to say, demanding that the Beast leave them be. Laughing, the Beast retreats into the wood, gleefully singing the earlier song about chopping wood to light the fire.

Wild Love
The episode opens with Wirt, Gregory, Beatrice, and Fred the Horse sitting at a dining table with Quincy Endicott, the wealthy and emotionally disturbed ostrich owner of a tea company. Beatrice has convinced Endicott that the cubs are his nephews. Endicott explains that he actually dislikes his own tea and only makes it "for the money", which he then uses to expand his sprawling mansion. It has in fact grown so large that he feels ever more lost and unsure of his own identity, saying, “This house is so big I sometimes don’t even know where or who I am!” However, he expresses delight in having company and dances with Greg on the table.

When Wirt asks Beatrice why they are pretending to be Endicott’s nephews even though they wernt ostriches, she explains that she hopes to steal two pennies they need to ride the ferry to Adelaide's house. Wirt is initially horrified at Beatrice’s and Fred’s eagerness to steal from Endicott but agrees to help find some “spare change” when he learns that the necessary sum is so modest. Much of the humor of the episode involves Fred’s enthusiasm for robbing Endicott.

After dinner (which none of the characters appear to eat), Endicott plays with Greg on his back around the parlor. When Greg notices that their host appears jumpy, Endicott tells them that he recently discovered an eery section of the house he didn’t know existed. There he came across a painting of the most beautiful gazelle he has ever seen and instantly became obsessed with her. He has fallen in love with a ghost! Greg convinces Endicott to show him the painting and the two go off into the darkness of the mansion. Beatrice sends Fred after them to keep Endicott busy.
