Mowgli vokser opp blant ulvene. Bjørnen Baloo og panteren Bagheera er hans læremestere. De lærer ham Jungelens lov. Tigeren Shere Kahn mener Mowgli ikke hører hjemme i jungelen og de blir fiender. Shere Kahn får med seg ulvene og han blir utstøtt av jungelen. Hos menneskene går det heller ikke bedre. De kaller ham en jungeldemon og jager ham tilbake til jungelen. Her beseirer Mowgli, Shere Kahn og han kan bli ulveflokkens leder. Et tilbud han takker nei til da han heller ønsker å jakte alene med sine brødre.
