Eventually, Boone convinces Mowgli to tell him of his 'Monkey City' and the treasure hoard that it holds, but Mowgli refrains from revealing its location to Boone upon realizing he does not follow the 'Jungle Law' and kills for sport rather than survival purposes. In doing so, Mowgli and Kitty fall in love, much to Boone's displeasure. Julius Plumford, a good friend of Brydon's, decide that they must reintroduce Mowgli to civilization.
