Oscar and his friends – a trio of mischievous animals consisting of Buck, a vulture who is always getting into trouble with Popy, a fennec fox who is always trying to take things from him or tricking him into doing something for her own gain such that it often gets them all into trouble especially when she tricks Harchi, a hyena whose brawn usually gets them out of any predicament they find themselves in while chasing after chickens or other prey including Oscar himself whom they constantly compete against for food - go on an adventure to find a lost city in the desert after a mysterious map was found by Popy.
During their journey, the group encounter various obstacles including angry ostriches, hungry crocodiles and even quicksand which leads to many near death experiences but thanks to Oscar's quick thinking (and sometimes pure luck), they manage to make it through each obstacle.
Finally, after days of travelling across the hot desert landscape, they reach the lost city where they discover that it is actually just an abandoned movie set. They are then chased by security guards but manage to escape and return home safely.
The film ends with Oscar and his friends relaxing at the oasis as Manolo drives past them in his truck with Roco still asleep at the wheel.
