Zoop In India

The rangers get a surprise visit from their fellow ranger Alwin, who has just returned after spending a year in India. But Alwin hasn’t come back without reason — he needs their help.

Along the way, they meet a monkey who falls head over heels in love with Moes — and turns out to be guarding a secret map that just might help the rangers complete their mission…
