But then a local lion is accused of killing a famous dog--and the dog's owner an inflammatory radio host goes on a crusade to have the cat declared a nuisance so it can be hunted. However there's evidence that the lion might have been framed for murder and now a renegade animal activist wants teddy and his girlfriend Summer to help prove it -- and catch the real killer.
