In an amusing circular tale set in an unnamed African country, Beatrice is trying to reach her grandfather's house with her bunch of bananas intact. Various jungle animals, through accident or mischief, take away her bananas and replace them with other gifts, until she winds up with a new bunch of bananas just as beautiful as the first. The jungle landscape is depicted in bright fantasy colors.
