Mowgli and Shere Khan engage in mortal combat. The boy is about to be overcome when the old Rahar comes to the rescue and, in spite of receiving serious injuries, drives the tiger away, but not before Mowgli manages to slash the tiger's eye. Mowgli and Jumeirah carry the injured man home, and when Jumeirah’s mother, Meshua, sees Mowgli she is convinced he is her son, Keshnu, who was lost in the jungle and never seen again. Her husband and daughter try to calm the woman down, explaining that Mowgli cannot possibly be her son, but in any case, he has just saved grandfather Rahhar from the tiger's fangs.
