The croc suddenly attacks, tearing Mick's boat to pieces and leaving him and mate Jacko up a tree. Life for Mick can only get easier, right? When Mick arrives at home, he discovers longtime companion Sue's newspaper-mogul father has called, and needs her help on an article at the paper's Los Angeles branch. Mick, who recognizes his importance in the modernizing bush is now no more than as a tourist attraction, agrees to join her, and together Mick, Sue and son Mikey head for Los Angeles. Here the adventure truly begins, as Mick and Jacko brave a cowboy bar where the horsemen are of a different color, and a Hollywood film party where everyone seems interested in Mick's mate Malcolm "Mal" Gibson's colorful exploits.

Thanks.

There you go.

That- That's nice.

No, you can keep that.|I got plenty of copies.

Crocodile!

[Sue ] Okay, tax relief plan.|State tax only.

No interest there.|Traffic accidents.

Okay, these figures comparing L. A.|to New York drivers, that's good.

Follow through on that.

Great. So our policy|hasn't changed then?

- How so?|- It's like Mr. Zetland used to say,

[Imitating Mr. Zetland]|"We're a New York paper.

If the news ain't about New York,|then who gives a rat's ass? "

Or words to that effect.

So he wasn't too happy|about working in L. A., huh?

Oh, no, no. Tom loved it here.|No, he loved doing expose features...

and investigating|scams and phonies.

- What was he working on?|- He was doing this feature...

on this new mini studio.

He started to get|really excited about it.

I think he smelled a rat.

But what it was about,|only Tom knew.

Maybe you can find out what sparked|his interest in there. Good luck.

Oh, hey, how are your boys doing?|Are they out exploring?

Oh, yeah. Should be fun too.|For both of them.

- [ Chattering]|- [Man ] Come on, people!

Thank you. Oh, spontaneous|applause, thank you.

Thank you.

All right, a couple of tricks.|Behind the back.

All right, all right,|all right, under the leg.

[Juggler Chattering ]

- [ Bones Cracking ]|- [ Man Groaning ]

[Juggler Continues|Chattering ]

[ Groaning Continues ]

Hey, Dad, look.|There's those girls from Baywatch.

- What?|- Baywatch.

On TV, you know?|The girls that run funny, like this.

And Donk and all the men|in the pub go, "Whoa! "

- What've you been doin' in the pub?|- Whoa! Hey!

- I am so sorry. Whew, muscle fatigue.|- It's okay.

- You all right?|- Hey, do you know what time it is?

Oh, it's about 12:30,|maybe 12:35.

[ Chuckles ] Oh, that's cute,|but you're wearing a watch.

- That's not a watch, it's a compass.|- Oh!

Yeah, I'm new in town.|I couldn't find my house without this.

Really? So where's|your house from here?

Eleven point five miles,|two degrees north northeast.

Called, uh, Beverly Hills.

Bev Hills?|So, you have a nice home?

- Yeah, we got eight dunneys.|- Yeah, that's eight bathrooms.

- Oh, nice. This-This your boy?|- Yeah, that's Mikey.

- So, you married?|- No, he's not married.

- So you got custody?|- Yeah. Well, Mikey's my son.

- Right. So you're a good parent?|- Well, I'd say.

Right. Oh, this is too good.|I finally bump into a cute cowboy.

He's more Robert Redford's vintage|than Brad Pitt's, but that's okay...

'cause he's got a mansion in Beverly|Hills, plus he's got custody of his kid.

That means he'd be a good dad|to my Cindy and this is--

Oh, there's a catch, right?
