La pantera nera Bagheera racconta la storia di un cucciolo d'uomo da lei trovato abbandonato nella giungla e allevato da una famiglia di lupi. Mowgli, così viene chiamato, cresce con gli animali fino a quando arriva il giorno del pericolo. La feroce tigre Shere Khan, che per istinto odia gli esseri umani, è di nuovo nella zona; il bambino deve tornare con gli umani. Bagheera si assume il compito di accompagnare il riluttante Mowgli. Troverà un valido, anche se originale, aiuto nell'orso Baloo ma i problemi non mancheranno.
