After escaping, Cadby encounters an amorous female Silverback eastern lowland gorilla who appears to have mistaken him for a mate. Cadby, watching nearby, is noticed by Ouda, who calls him the "White Devil" and incites both tribes to pursue him, giving Ace more time. Ace destroys Cadby's car, leaving the bat cage lodged in a tree.Īce, despite his chronic fear of bats, courageously yet dramatically grabs the bat with his bare hands and returns it just as the tribes are about to meet on the battlefield. Cadby escapes with the bat in a Land Rover, but Ace follows him in a monster truck. Cadby tries to shoot Ace, but is stopped by Greenwall when he punches him in the face. Ace escapes with help from an African elephant, and summons herds of jungle animals to destroy Cadby's house. When Ace confronts Cadby, he learns he was hired as Cadby's alibi once an investigation takes place, and is arrested by tribal security chief Hitu. Advised by the Abbot, Ace deduces that Cadby has taken the bat, having planned to let the tribes destroy each other so that he can then take possession of the numerous bat caves containing guano to sell as fertilizer worth billions. Flummoxed by the case, Ace consults the Grand Abbot via astral projection. Unfortunately, they don't fall for it and shoot the initial darts into him and take him away.Īfter coming to, Ace tries to figure out how the poachers are involved with the war between the tribes. He eventually finds two Australian poachers with the bat, and he distracts them by mimicking a Silverback mating call. As he and Ouda walk back to the village, Ace realizes the dart he was shot with earlier is not the same as the one he was just shot with-meaning that the Wachootoo didn't take Shikaka. As a parting joke, Ace is shot in the buttock by a non-drugged blow-dart by the Chief to make his people laugh again. Ouda throws Ace another spear to help, but it strikes his other leg and causes him further pain this makes the chief, entire tribe, and even Ouda laugh uproariously, and the Wachootoo grant Ace their trust and release him.ĭespite this, the Wachootoo declare that if the bat is not returned in time, they will declare war on the Wachati tribe. In a finishing strike, the warrior throws a spear at Ace's leg, causing him to howl in pain.
He creatively passes them all, and his final challenge is a 'Circle of Death' fight with their toughest warrior-who, although wild, happens to be tiny Ace disregards him at first but is soon humiliated. The Wachootoo mistake Ace as the "White Devil", and have him go through many painful and humiliating challenges to gain their trust. He travels to the Wachootoo tribal village, with Ouda translating the chief's words rather poorly. After being attacked with drugged blow-darts, Ace suspects the medicine-man of the Wachootoo of taking the bat, as he strongly disapproves of the wedding. Ace's investigation involves eliminating obvious suspects-animal traders, poachers, and a safari park owner among others-and enduring the growing escalations of threat between the Wachati and the Wachootoo. Ace also befriends the tribal prince, Ouda, who assists Ace.
However, Ace admits his oath to clerical celibacy, but aggressively masturbates in a hut afterwards.
He eventually befriends the tribe's princess, who tries to seduce Ace. After arriving in Nibia and meeting with consul Vincent Cadby, Ace begins his investigation, but must overcome his fear of bats in order to succeed.Īccompanied by his capuchin monkey, Spike, Ace begins his search for the missing bat. Greenwall wants Ventura to find the Great White bat 'Shikaka', a sacred animal of the native Wachati tribe, which disappeared shortly after being offered as dowry of the Wachati Princess, who is set to wed the Wachootoo Prince in a marriage of state. Greenwall is subjected to Ventura's questionable behavior when he starts mimicking different mating calls, and his reckless driving when they head off to Africa, warning him about the hostility of eastern lowland gorillas, as it is mating season. Because Ace is a liability for the monastery, the Grand Abbot gives Ace excuses to justify his departure, and sends him off with Greenwall. Once he has recovered, he is approached by Fulton Greenwall, an English correspondent working for the consulate of Bonai Province in the fictional African country of Nibia. In the Himalayas, after a failed rescue mission results in a raccoon falling to its death (a parody of Cliffhanger), Ace Ventura succumbs to severe depression and joins a Tibetan monastery.
