Two California teenagers named Ted and Susan, spending six months in Kenya with their scientist parents Earl and Jean, befriend a Masai tribal boy named Morogo whose family are goat herders. After Morogo retrieves Ted and Susan's soccer ball from a sleeping rhino, they subsequently encounter and adopt a female cheetah they call Duma, only to realize that they must set her free so that she can learn to hunt and be free. However, when she is captured by two store owners led by a poacher named Abdullah who plan to race her against greyhounds, the two city kids, together with Morogo, head off into the wild to rescue her.

After Ted and Susan get captured by the three criminals, Morogo sets them free and head off to Naoribi Downs. However, the police has them in custody, but they escape by tricking him by letting them use the bathroom. They hop into a sheep farmer's truck to go to Nairobi.

When Duma was about to lose the race, Ted snatches his whistle from the racetrack cop and blows it to make Duma go faster and win. Duma chases and attacks Abdullah and he gets arrested.

After Abdullah's arrest, the trio decide to release Duma back into the wild where she belongs.
