Kopa, the son of Simba, wants to find his family tree. He asks his father to take him to it, but Simba is busy. Kopa sets out by himself to find it. He finds a lizard and chases it for a long time. The chase leads him to a dry, barren land. Lost and alone, he curls up and goes to sleep. In the morning he is found by two hungry vultures. They take Kopa ransom for some other, tastier animals. Kopa is kept prisoner up in a tree. A group of rapping vultures called the Buzzard Boyz befriend Kopa. The Buzzard Boyz bring Simba and Nala to where Kopa is, and Kopa is rescued.
