Tons of Trouble (1997) Synopsis & Summary

Synopsis

Where does a seven-ton elephant sleep? That's the question four kids ask when they find themselves looking after a pachyderm in this family adventure. Malaika the elephant is captured by a mean-spirited hunter, but when she escapes, several children find her and try to help her get well as well as return her to safer circumstances. But a full-grown elephant is not the sort of secret that's easy to keep hidden. The cast includes Karen Black, R.D. Call, and John Laughlin. - Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
