This sequel to the successful "Born Free" continues the story of George and Joy Adamson (Nigel Davenport and Susan Hampshire). Several years have past since they raised and then freed Elsa the lion. Elsa has died, and they take on the task of raising her three cubs. The excellent nature photography of Kenya is the highlight of this otherwise tame tale.
