The story takes place in Africa. The famous detective Ace Ventura, the world’s only specialist in locating missing pets, is back on the case.

In his search for the sacred Shikaki, he battles alligators, tames elephants, mimics monkeys, swings on vines, walks on hot coals, and—to the horror of a family of American tourists— out of a rhinoceros’s rear end, and turns all of Africa upside down.
