 A stork delivers a flock of newborn lambs to their expectant mothers but finds that he had mistakenly brought a lion named Lambert (apparently misinterpreting its name), which was supposed to go to South Africa, along; one of the mother sheep, who was heartbroken at not receiving a lamb, forcefully demands the stork leave Lambert with her.Lambert lives his life thinking he is a sheep, but is ostracized by his peers for being and acting different; he is also defenseless against the other lambs' head-butts.One night, a hungry wolf (the same wolf from the "Peter and the Wolf" segment from "Make Mine Music"), attacks the flock.
