As a young elephant, Jumbo is taunted by the other elephants because he is
fatherless. Naturally, Jumbo is curious about his father, and he's told that his
father is a war elephant for the king.
So Jumbo wants to find his father. Still a young elephant, he wanders off in
search of his father.
He is soon captured by a raiding party. In trying to escape from the camp, the
young elephant is befriended by a boy prince, who has been ransomed to his foes.
The prince has the ability to calm Jumbo into thinking clearly, and Jumbo makes
his escape.
A weakened Jumbo then comes upon a village where humans and elephants are
working together. He is befriended by a beautiful young elephant cow, but is
then chained up until he is tamed. Jumbo soon learns to value the humans who
have captured him. Under the training of a wise, old mahout, he becomes bigger
and stronger.
A local warlord comes around annually to collect tax from the village, and his
taxes have become greedier each year. The village rebels, and with the humans
and elephants working together, the warlord and his beasts are defeated.
The call then goes out from the king for elephants for his army. Jumbo is taken
to the palace. There, he is seen by his mother, who calls out to him. Jumbo goes
wild in trying to break free from his chains to meet his mother. The King
notices this, and remembers Jumbo from his childhood. The king is able to calm
Jumbo, and from then on Jumbo serves as the personal war elephant of the king.
In battle, Jumbo meets a giant war elephant with fiery eyes that was responsible
for the death of Jumbo's father, and Jumbo gets a chance to acquit himself in
battle for the glory of the kingdom, and take revenge.
