The story

In Tanganyika, the Momella Game Company captures animals for zoos and circuses using off-road vehicles, lassos, and cages. The crew consists of French owner Brandy de la Court; Irish-American Sean Mercer, who heads the capture expeditions; retired German race car driver Kurt Müller; Mexican bullfighter Luis Francisco García López; Native American sharpshooter Little Wolf ( "the Indian"); zoophobic former New York City cab driver "Pockets"; and several native Tanganyikans. During the captures, Kurt and the Indian drive a herding jeep to force animals toward a larger capture truck driven by Pockets.
