A kind doctor named Aibolit disinterestedly treats animals, 
regardless of their injuries - from scratches, cuts and simple bites to 
complicated surgical operations. The wicked robber Barmalay, whose name 
has long frightened children, sits in prison under the protection of the
 Hippopotamus. Pirate friends help their leader to escape, but the 
Hippopotamus sneaks into their ship and tries to find out the plans of 
the villains. At this time, Varvara, the quarrelsome sister of good Dr. 
Aibolit, leaves his brother, declaring that he hates animals whom the 
doctor loves and treats. Soon, by chance, she finds herself on a pirate 
schooner, which docks to the shores of Africa. There, the robbers 
arrange a tragicomic opera "Mukha-Tsokotukha" for the animals, and then 
they distribute poisoned food, and all the animals get sick.
