To save the museum, Ted is summoned to the museum curator’s office and sent on a mission to Africa to look for a mysterious item that will bring visitors back to the museum. Ted heads to the Outback Outfitter store where he is fitted with his trademark yellow suit.

Once he arrives in Africa with the crew, Ted is shocked to discover what they felt would be a huge item that would save the museum, is actually a small little statue that fits into the palm of his hand. Ted does meet a curious, fun little brown monkey. As he leaves Africa set for the shores of America, the little monkey, who has taken his yellow hat, stows away on the ship.
