Life in Madagascar, fraught with danger, did not live up to the expectations of the animals—Alex the lion, Marty the zebra, Melman the giraffe, and Gloria the hippo—and the friends decide to escape from the island. By chance, the whole group ends up in Africa, where Alex reunites with his family, from whom he was separated as a cub. To his surprise, Alex realizes that after living in the zoo, he has much less in common with his relatives than he would have liked...

Karen and Michael Carr, a married couple from Los Angeles, lead a quiet family life until one night a burglar breaks into their home. Michael tries to defend his home and wife with a golf club, but the intruder grabs a kitchen knife and takes his wife hostage. Fortunately, the criminal flees without harming the couple. The couple calls the police, and that’s how Police Officer Pete Davis first arrives at their home; they soon become friends with him. One evening, Pete takes Michael along on patrol and apprehends a burglar who had broken into the Carrs’ home. Pete suggests beating up the criminal, but Michael refuses and realizes that he and his wife would be better off staying away from the police officer.
