Mayor Basta plans to build a highway, and it just so happens to cut right through the zoo's grounds: the enclosures are to be demolished and the animals relocated to other zoos. A terrible thought - not just for Director Fröhlich, caretaker Timo, and the animal residents. To prevent this nightmare from becoming a reality, everyone comes together to devise an unusual crisis plan - a plan that attracts many people to the zoo. With music, evening tours, and animal sponsorships, the animals raise money and seek volunteers to restore the zoo. Always present is the colorful zoo orchestra with its melodies like the Vulture Blues, I'm-Doing-Great Boogie-Woogie, or Snake Swing. Now, the only thing left is to convince Mayor Basta to abandon her plan. "Save the Zoo" is an exciting and captivating story for children aged 5 and up.
