East Congo, 1849: A baby gorilla is orphaned when a big-game hunter slaughters his entire tribe.

Texas, 1866. Kumba has grown to maturity and become the star attraction of Professor Malloy's Traveling Circus, putting on a spectacular show as the most novel trick shot artist West of the Pecos, the Six-Gun Gorilla! Abigail and Kumba yearn to see the big cities in the East, but Malloy wants to put as much space as possible between them and the Civil War.
The war, however, comes to them in the form of Giuliano Schmidt, a Union spy wounded and on the run from hired gun Gravesend and his gang of cut-throats.
