When Ben and his family buy a zoo, they meet with unexpected problems. The escape of a wolf shows Ben just how desperately the zoo is in need of repairs, but buying the park has used up all the family's savings. Time is running out. They have just AUD7977 (4000 pounds) left in the bank account and the zoo is already costing AUD5983 (3000 pounds) a week to run. Ben has to find someone who will lend them AUD997,171 (500,000 pounds) as they still need to pay for the repairs and renovations. If he fails, the zoo will be back on the market and the animals' lives will be in danger once again.
