A bachelor who resides with his sister, Dolittle seeks to liven up the home by inviting various exotic animals to live with them.

Dolittle soon finds himself a celebrity in the animal kingdom and feels compelled to invest fully in the cause of being their savior. His life is turned upside down when he embarks on a voyage to Africa seeking to cure a monkey epidemic. This journey results in shipwreck, kidnapping, and even encounters with pirates. Only time will tell if Dolittle has sailed too far off course, or if he can find a way to return home and somehow restore his financial health.
