Elsa, the Adamsons' lioness, has turned into a kind of feline Lassie, roaming the remoter reaches of the green hills of Kenya, where she can weekly rescue or be rescued by the guest stars. As the Adamsons, Diana Muldaur and Gary Collins provide the discreet exposition linking Elsa's exploits together. Muldaur is also required to voice-over a narration that weekly spells out whatever moral Elsa's behavior has pointed up.
