Shere Khan is an extremely wealthy businessman who owns a multi-national corporation called Khan Industries, and is the dominant economic force in Cape Suzette.

Description[]

He is sometimes accompanied by an unnamed emaciated tiger "yes-man" office aide. He takes enjoyment out of running small companies out of business  (Higher for Hire is sometimes on his hit list) with a sense of ruthlessness to skirt around the law as he chooses. He also likes to feed tiny insects to the many carnivorous plants he grows in his office. He once even hired the Air Pirates to create an artificial oil shortage so he could extort higher prices from the public (from "On a Wing and a Bear").

He has a well-armed air force and navy, complete with battleships. This is mainly to protect his shipping and business interests worldwide. However, he is willing to act nobly at times, such as ordering his forces into the air to protect the city from the Air Pirates, and has shown that he respects Baloo's piloting skills, most notably when he allowed Baloo to take over piloting his plane after having all pilots replaced with his own robotic pilots; his plane had been ambushed by the air pirates and the robotic pilot refused to deviate from its flight plan due to its programing, causing Baloo to forcefully remove the robot and take control of the plane to evade the air pirates. He even saved Louie's place from being blown up by Benson.

Despite leaning towards more villainous undertakings, Shere Khan is a neutral character who would stand against Baloo and the heroes on occasions, and side with them on other occasions. His only interest is to make more money and expand his power and authority. He's also shown to hold no grudges, since in the occasions where Baloo and his friends made him lose an affair, he didn't plot for revenge later.

The only true challenge posed to Khan is the Miniversal Corporation, second only to Khan Industries in scale and profits. Managed by chairman and CEO Mr. Sultan — a longtime business rival of Shere Khan — Miniversal fiercely competes with Khan Industries in many areas, chiefly aerospace development and electronics. While Khan Industries may officially deny that the Miniversal Corporation intimidates them in any way, reduced profit last quarter has forced Khan Industries to step up production of its revolutionary top-secret flying project. This move will prevent Miniversal from gaining an advantageous financial edge in what has so far been a close battle between these two corporate giants.

Episode Appearence's:[]

Ep. 2- Plunder and Lightning Part 2 Shere first appeared in Plunder and Lightning Part 2 in his office, feeding his venus flytraps. His emanciated assistant then informed him that his stone, also known as the Sub-Electron Amplifier, has been stolen by the Air Pirates. This made Shere Khan angry.


"I've spent years building Khan Industries into the biggest corporation in the world and I've discovered that business is like a jungle. You see there are the eaters and there are the eatens. Find those pirates." -Shere Khan


"Bon appetit." -Shere Khan


In the end of the episode, Shere Khan is seen looking outside the window of his office. Baloo, Kit and Shere Khan were negotiating a deal about how much money Baloo and Kit will receive when they retrieve the Sub-Electron Amplifier. Shere Khan offered them "a hundred-thousan lousy bucks" which Baloo and Kit it was just a hundred bucks. Baloo unhesitantly accepted the deal and immediately left ensuring Shere Khan that they're on to retrieving the stone.

Ep. 3- Plunder and Lightning Part 3 When Baloo returned to Higher for Higher, he and the angry Rebecca Cunningham were abducted by Shere Khan's chaffeurs in order to have a forced meeting. Shere Khan was impuslive on having the stone and he asked Baloo where it is. Rebecca told the tiger that Don Karnage has it and so, Shere Khan was displeased. Rebecca and Baloo finally knew that the stone was actually a Sub-Electron Amplifier which was explained by Dr. Debolt. Shere Khan then grabbed the doctor by the collar implying that the head scientist has delivered too much information.


"I make my own rules. Where is the stone?" - Shere Khan


"Hmm. A very emotional man. You're all dismissed." - Shere Khan

Ep. 4- Plunder and Lightning Part 4 Shere was first seen calling on the telephone in Plunder and Lighting Part 4, where Dr. Debolt was insitent on telling Shere Khan that the Air Pirates possibly built a machine that can focus the energy of the stone. In other words, Don Karnage has possessed a "lightning gun". Shere Khan was skeptical at first but was convinceed after witnessing some explosions and laser firing across the bay of his office. Shere Khan then telephoned his airfield.


In the end of the episode, Shere Khan witnessed the falling of a fractured Sea Duck along with the Lightning Gun with his binoculars. When the Lightning Gun fell into the water, it exploded creating huge waves. Shere Khan then ordered to scramble the planes to finish off Don Karnage. The Iron Vulture then retreated and was chased by Shere Khan's pilots.


"Hmm. A pity - That was a pilot to be reckoned with. Scramble the planes."


"Yes. I believe you. Thousands wouldn't. Get me the airfield." - Shere Khan

Ep. 5- From Here to Machinery In "From Here to Machinery", Shere Khan was first seen reading the Tribune newspaper where a picture of an angry Baloo is displayed on the front page. It was then revealed that Professor Martin Torque was in Shere Khan's office to attempt selling a dozen of his Auto-Aviators. Professor Torque assured that his tests are complete and thus his machines were perfect however, Shere Khan was still skeptical and told the professor that he thinks Torque's robots can't handle all situations. Shere Khan considered buying a thousand of Torque's Auto-Aviators if the machine won a test against the real pilots. Torque was upset about Shere Khan's skepticism and the delay of Shere Khan buying his Auto-Aviators, as he was dismissed walking in the rain to his Streamline Moderne vehicle.


Fortunately, his Auto-Aviator won and Shere Khan commenced buying his machines. The other shipping companies were grounded and the pilots are out of work. However, Don Karnage took advantage of the machines' non-deviating programming.


In a dark night sky, Shere Khan's red plane was soaring through the mountains near Mount Rozika. Professor Torque proposed a toast to his "greatest invention in history": the Auto-Aviator. Shere Khan believed it it so and then, their celebration was interrupted by Don Karnage radioing them an threathening air-to-air communication. Shere Khan ordered Professor Torque to instruct his machine to change course and evade the pirates, however the Auto-Aviator did not accept to deviate from their flight plan. Torque attempted to grab the wheel by was electrocuted as a result. Shere Khan suggested Torque to call for help after failing to instruct the Auto-Aviator to change course.

Shere Khan was annoyed by Professor Torque's frantic call for help so he took the radio transceiver and grabbed the professor by the collar band and threw him to a couch on the plane. Shere Khan announced that they are about to be attacked by pirates near Mount Rozika and promised whoever will save them will be paid handsomely.

Baloo came to rescue and in order to remove the Auto-Aviator from its pilot seat, Baloo poured soda pop on it to short-circuit. This upsetted Professor torque as the robot exploded. The professor attacked Baloo but Shere Khan grabbed him on the neck and thew him away.


Angry at the professor, Shere Khan proposed that Professor Torque shall give Khan's money back and Shere Khan will give back Torque's "cretinous" contraptions. Torque refused and so Shere Khan grabbed him and threathened him to drop off the soaring plane. Due to fear, Torque finally agreed to Shere Khan's proposal that it sounded fair.


After the agreement, the pilots got their jobs back especially Khan's pilots.


"Ah. Such a crude individual." - Shere Khan


"I haven't said I'd buy anything. Baloo may be correct. Perhaps your robot can't handle all situations." - Shere Khan


"Calm yourself Professor. If there were a test against a real piilot and the Auto-Aviator won, I might consider buying, say, a thousand of your mechanical men." - Shere Khan


"A perfect pilot must handle any situation. You told me your tin men were perfect." - Shere Khan


"I suggest you call for help." - Shere Khan


"Whoever's listening, your assistance will be handsomely rewarded. In a few moments we will be attacked by pirates near Mount Rozika." - Shere Khan


"You've disappointed me, Professor. Worse, you have deceived me. But I have a solution: You give me back all my money and I'll give you back all your cretinous contraptions." - Shere Khan

Ep. 20- A Bad Reflection on You Part 1 Shere Khan was first seen having a meeting with his board of directors at 3 A.M. The meeting includes: Shere Khan's new tanker will be ready to ship his crude oil by the end of the week however, Shere Khan wanted moved up to Wednesday; the shipment of imported spices will be in Khan's groceries by the morning and as the tiger knew they are the only stores offering nutmeg, he ordered to raise the price 25 cents a tin; and finally an energy report from the sleepy Mr. Jenkins that Khan's coal-burning plants are up to 14% and something about one is running at half-capacity that it should be ready for a full test in the end of the month.


The meeting was interrupted by Shere Khan's commander alerting them about the plane that was nearing the danger zone. Shere Khan confirmed and activated the computer map behind him. The commander ascended the platform where the map was displayed and informed them that they lost one of their transport planes ona secret cargo route: the Master Run. The commander asserted that the plane vanished after one of the board director asked if the plane crashed. Now he announced that another of their planes will be making the run that night however that time, they had their gunships cruising the area. The commander called Captain Hotspur, captain of the gunship. The captain was tracking the plane and relayed the signal to Khan's office. They watched the location of the plane on the map and as it approached the Twin Spires, the beeping signals stopped. Shere Khan and his men were baffled about the disappearance of the plane. The commander reported that the Air Pirates haven't been seen in the area for weeks. The board members suggested if it is caused by magnetic disurbance or instrument failure however, the commander was uncertain. Shere Khan ordered his men to know exactly what's happening and where. A board member suggested that they should send another plane but the commander refused because his pilots would not want to volunteer for another "jinx run". Shere Khan then suggested that they should find a "patsy."


Sometime later in the day, Shere Khan saw Baloo in the newspaper, reading that Baloo risked his life for a bushel of leaves. That led him to the idea that he will be the sort of fool he needed.


Upon Baloo's arrival, Shere Khan presented Baloo a trophy proclaiming him the best pilot in the world. After Baloo accepting the trophy, Shere Khan revealed that they have The Master Run which is an ultra-secret cargo route. Baloo, believing the thoughts of him being the best pilot, accepted the job without thinking.


Near the end of the episode, Baloo was showing off his flying maneuvers which Shere Khan did witness.


"Are we the only stores offering nutmeg? ... Excellent. Raise the price 25 a tin... Yes, but they'll pay anyway-" - Shere Khan


Board Member 1: 3:00 A.M.! Doesn't Mr. Khan ever sleep?

Board Member 2: Ever heard of vampires?


Ep. 21- A Bad Reflection on You Part 2 In "A Bad Reflection on You Part 2", Shere Khan was first heard on the radio transceiver in Captain Hotspur's Gunship. Shere Khan asked if Baloo has crashed yet and the captain confirmed as Khan predicted it. Shere Khan then asked if the beeper, which Baloo and Kit thought of an expensive painting inside the crate, was still functioning and Captain Hotspur affirmed it is function and informed Khan they had tracked Don Karnage. Shere Khan then ordered them to follow the device and fire the pirates out of the "his" ocean.


Near the end of the episode, Shere Khan demanded a status report. Captain Hotspur described a yellow seaplane has just saved them from a minefield that Don Karnage's men has set in the water. Shere Khan then informed that is his patsy, Baloo. Hotspur then announced that Baloo is doing very well against the pirates for their money.


When Baloo returned to Khan's office, the angry bear was upset that he was set up to perform a suicide mission but was calmed down after Shere Khan showed him a thick stack of bills which serves as recompensation for his service, the damage on the Sea Duck, and the misunderstandings. Baloo was happy to accept the money and it seemed his anger has vanished immediately. Headed to the door, Baloo remembered that he dropped his trophy on the mines in the water, causing them to explode and sending up a warning signal to the Gunship about the presence of mines. So he demanded Shere Khan give him a bigger one but Kit's name shall be engraved on it proclaiming him as the best navigator in the world.

Ep. 22- On a Wing and a Bear Shere Khan was first seen in his office. At the door, his assistant was impeding Rebecca Cunningham on seeing him. Shere Khan told his assistant that it is alright for her to come in and let her speak her piece. Shere Khan granted Rebecca's request for a glass of water for she had a long walk across his office. Shere Khan knew Rebecca came because of the high gas prices. Shere Khan's assistant interrupted and announced him that another of his oil tankers has been hijacked by the Air Pirates. Unknown to Rebecca, this is just a ruse. Shere Khan acted that he's upset that Don Karnage has hijacked his tanker and explicitly announced that gas prices will have to go higher. Rebecca pleaded that high prices makes it difficult for her business but Shere Khan politely apologized that he couldn't keep the prices constant. Rebecca thought of selling her sofa for a loose change and then left. When she was gone, Shere Khan cut off the act and ordered his assistant to send a telegram to Don Karnage congratulating him for his sucessful hijack.


At the end of the episode, Shere Khan was seen to be distressed, as he scratched the wooden armrests of his chair with his sharp claws. This was because he had just found out that the airpolice were already investigating his and Don Karnage's efforts to create the gas shortage. Shere Khan suspected Don Karnage of either betraying him or failing to keep their deal a secret. To retaliate, Shere Khan sent his assistant to deliver a ticking telegram to Don Karnage. This telegram was designed to trigger a sympathetic detonation, causing the oil tanks to explode. As a result, the island where the Air Pirates had stored their stolen oil tanks was destroyed.

Ep. 29- Whistlestop Jackson, Legend Shere was first seen making a deal with the Finance Minister, LaFong, of Klopstokia. Shere Khan asserts that a contract between Klopstokia and Khan Enterprises would be more than mutually beneficial. In this episode, it becomes known that Shere Khan holds the position of Chairman, as he is addressed as such by LaFong. The finance minister advised that only their president, President Myron, can award exclusive delivery contracts. Shere Khan told him that he was aware of it and so the tiger tempted the finance minister to accept a covert deal which make them both very rich. The cautious finance minister was tempted and asked if Shere Khan's plans could not be upset. His question triggered Shere Khan's patience and so the tiger assured that when he gives his word, it should be enough.


Listening to the radio, Shere was angry when the news reporter informed that Whistlestop Jackson has negotiated an exclusive delivery agreement between Higher for Hire and the country of Klopstokia and President Myron, an old crony of Jackson's, says if Higher for Hire can prove itself by delivering Independence Day Celebration Supplies, the company will be guaranteed a lifetime contract. Shere Khan suggested that an accident must happen to Mr. Jackson so that their agreement could be reinstated. In a flashback explaining how Shere Khan and Mr. Jackson's rivalry, it was shown that the government canceled the mail contract with the young Mr. Khan, rising star of aviation executives, and Whistlestop Jackson, greatest aviator of his day, hero to millions, was awarded a new contract.


In the Klopstokia stadium, Shere Khan and LaFong were expecting Mr. Jackson's absence by 8:00 P.M. so that the lifetime contract which will be given to Higher for Hire won't take place. LaFong was frantic upon hearing that Mr. Jackson was alive and Shere Khan confirmed that he was still alive and referred to him as a persistent nuisance. Baloo and Mr. Jackson arrived on time interrupting LaFong's optimistic announcement of Mr. Jackson's failure.


In the end of the episode, Shere Khan and Mr. LaFong were shown to have been injured by fireworks. Shere Khan was fairly satisfied to hear of Mr. Jackson's last flash of brilliance. He took the credit that it was his intention all along to force Mr. Jackson into retirement.


"A funny thing about airplanes: Sometimes they have accidents and fall down. If that should, heaven forbid, happen to Mr. Jackson, our agreement could be reinstated. The rivalry between myself and Mr. Jackson has gone on for more years than I care to remember." -Shere Khan


"I believe in bygones being bygones. But this is business. The time has come to do something. Something permanent." -Shere Khan


"All in all, it's been a rousing success. After all, it was my intention all along to force Mr. Jackson into retirement." -Shere Khan

Ep. 34- Save the Tiger In this episode, Baloo saved Mr. Khan's plane having its engine being broken during its flight.

Shere Khan was first seen coming out of his red plane as his assistant was preparing the boarding stairs and dusting it with a brush. Shere was indebted for Baloo saving his life and he asked Baloo to name what he wants but Baloo couldn't really say. Shere Khan then told Baloo to "take all the time he needed".


Baloo dropped by Shere Khan's office and the tiger was frustrated by Baloo being ten minutes late. Shere Khan asked Baloo if he has thought of what he wanted to even the score. Baloo thought about buying the Sea Duck and so Shere Khan granted him the money. Shere Khan kept asking if there are more further and so, Baloo took advantage of Shere Khan's words, "take all the time you need." Shere Khan realized he did say those and then he has to hope that Baloo better not be greedy and had the benefit of the doubt that Baloo with stop asking for more.


Unknown to Baloo, the elevator has surveillance microphones where Shere Khan heard Baloo saying that the tiger is so dumb as to promise someone anything he wants. This angered Shere Khan as he clawed his wooden desk.


The next day, in Khan's office, Baloo was early that time and Shere was keeping his composure. Baloo then listed all the excessive stuff he wants which includes: a set of trains, a rally-coaster, a platypus, a purple kite, seven snakes, a pinball machine, a carton of chewing gum, a monogrammed hammock, two pair of snowshoes, a blue kazoo, a bag of Goobers, a thousand Ping-Pong balls, a totem pole, a peck of pickled peppers, 12 dozen snorkels, an electric bow tie, two baseball bats, one for each team, 200 pairs of wax lips ...


He kept asking from morning to night. Shere Khan then called to bring Garth and his companion, which seemed to be Khan's henchmen, stating he has a job for them.


One day, Baloo was kidnapped by Garth and his companion and left a note which Kit found and urgently showed it to Rebecca Cunningham. The message contained that Baloo has been kidnapped and that the kidnappers demand $200,000.00 for ransom. So Rebecca sold everything Baloo owned however, it was still not enough and so, Rebecca sold Higher for Hire in order to save Baloo. Rebecca and Kit was able to give the money and they got Baloo back. Baloo was upset when Rebecca told him that she sold the Sea Duck, but then became shocked when Rebecca told him that she also sold Higher for Hire. The angered Baloo then thought of Shere Khan has something do with it and so, he headed to Khan's office and asked the tiger to bring back everything the way it was. Then Shere Khan granted him the deed of Higher for Hire with Rebecca Cunningham's name on it and the Sea Duck also belongs to Rebecca.


"You saved my life, Mr. Babaloo. Yes I owe you everything. At this moment, Khan Industries is worth $3,7 billion. You may have whatever you want. Simply name it." -Shere Khan


"But my motto is 'always repay your debts and never break a deal.'" -Shere Khan


"Take all the time you need. Drop by my office when you've decided. Only one stipulation: You must keep our arrangment a secret. I may be indebted, but I don't want it known to everyone." -Shere Khan

Ep. 41- Citizen Khan If this episode, it is revealed that Shere Khan owned the town, Boomstone, and the silver mine. Gomer and Clementine were revealed as employees of Khan Enterprises as she tells Gomer that he's not the judge of Boomstone.

When Baloo, Kit and Wildcat were captured by Wendell and Gomer for a made-up speeding violation, they were forced to work in the mines. There, Gomer persuaded the three that they need special volunteers to work in the mine. When Kit asked what the minerals are on the pail, Gomer informed them that they're mining Urgonium, a mineral that has some peculiarities. Gomer also told them they recently ran out of silver. The curious Wildcat took a piece of Urognium from a pail to examine it but Wendell told him to put it back where he took it. Wildcat then dropped the piece back to the pail and the mine exploded. The peculiarity of Urgonium was then discovered by the three that it explodes whenever it hits something hard.


After the explosion, the grimy Wildcat was juxtaposed to the fallen portrait of Mr. Khan in the mine. Gomer and Kit couldn't believe it that Wilcat resembles Shere Khan. So Baloo took the advantage of Gomer's belief that Wildcat is Shere Khan and told Gomer that Shere Khan isn't pretending anymore. Gomer became suddenly hospitable because of his belief that Wildcat is Mr. Khan. The miners had a suspicion that Wildcat, who they believed to be the powerful Shere Khan, was among them as if they had seen him in person. As a result, they formed a conspiracy to take the Sea Duck, since they were trapped in the mine by Gomer and the only means of escape was by plane.


The miners ambushed Wilcat and Clementine and they took them hostage in the mine. Wilcat was tied to a timber and Clementine was forced to deliver a blackmail back to Baloo. The letter contained a message where the miners demand a safe passage out of the mine and if they don't comply, Shere Khan who is actually Wilcat would face terrible consequences.


Clementine knew Gomer was lying about the phone being broken. So she dialed a number and it happened to be Shere Khan's office. Clementine informed the real Shere Khan that the other Shere Khan was snatched by his own silver miners in Boomstone but Shere Khan was skeptical about Clementine's story. After Clementine was captured by Gomer, Shere Khan was left hanging and so, he decided to investigate his untimely abduction.


The day after, Gomer and Wendell were loading their Urgonium. As they were about to take off, Shere Khan's plane arrived and Wendell suspected that the person they got in the mine is not Shere Khan. Gomer then switched to his subservient attitude upon meeting the real Mr. Khan. Gomer made excuses that they're having problems with an imposter and then Shere Khan asked if Gomer could arrange a meeting with his imposter however, Gomer was eager to leave with his Urgonium. Suddenly, Wildcat's spontanously-built drilling rig emerged from where Gomer and Wendell were standing. When everyone got out of the drilling rig, Gomer accused Wildcat is the imposter. Shere Khan asked who the miners were and asked why hasn't he heard all about the situation. Gomer ran out of excuses because he planned to lie about the phone being broken so that there will be no contact between Boomstone and Khan Enterprises. He forced people to mine the Urgonium for himself that they had to leave that moment they encountered the real Shere Khan. So, he shouted "run" to Wendell attempting to escape the situation. Baloo chased Gomer and Wendell with the Sea Duck they dogfought in the skies with Urgonium and rotten Carnuvian kumquats. The propeller of Gomer's plane was stopped by Kit throwing a kumquat at it and Gomer and Wendell fell down. When their plane hit the ground, it caused a huge explosion.


Shere Khan made Clementine his new mining foreman. It's also unclear how Gomer and Wendell survived the crash and explosion. Shere Khan was indebted when Baloo discovered Gomer's corrupt scheme and so, he offered to reimburse Baloo's rotten kumquats. Shere Khan wanted to thank Wilcat too but they all witnessed him kissing Clementine.


"This will teach me to let my employees go home after a mere 16 hour workday." -Shere Khan


Clementine: So, you never told the sheriff to mistreat the miners?

Shere Khan: My dear, I desire only money and power. Unpresentable employees provide me with neither.


"In gratitude for uncovering this subterfuge, I suppose I can reimburse you for your kumquats." - Shere Khan

Ep. 50- Louie's Last Stand The episode begins in Shere Khan's office where a meeting of Khan's investors take place. The discussion involves Walter's $20,000.00 investment in petroleum with planes automobiles which bring a definite growth in the industry, Harmond's investment in electronics such as telephones, radios, phonographs which were considered the wave of the future, and Benson's absurd investment in glow-in-the-dark sunglasses which are "easy to find during a power failure".


In this episode, it is also revealed that Shere Khan has a library which contains tall bookselves all filled with books right above in front of his office desk. Shere Khan was wearing his sleeping robes as he took some books from the shelves. Benson snuck in Khan's office and grabbed some stationery and wrote an order "Do whatever Mr. Benson asks" and forged Shere Khan's signature.


When Shere Khan called Miss Greeley to send for his Elite Pilot Squad, Miss Greeley told him that they're still on the mission he requested. This baffled the tiger.


At the end of the episode, when Benson was about to blow up Louie's place with dynamite, Shere Khan appeared cutting the detonator cord with his claw. Benson was suprised to see Khan and the tiger asked what happened to his pilots. Benson accused Baloo, Kit and Louie did all the job. Benson explained that he built the money-making island, which is actually Louie's place, for him however, Shere Khan didn't believe Benson as he was englighted that Benson forged his name, misused employees and broke a verbal deal. Shere Khan then terminated Benson in his best interest. Shere Khan apologized to Baloo for Benson's excess zeal and the upset Benson planned to reconnect the detonator cord and blow up the building while Baloo, Louie and Shere Khan are still inside. After Benson called the three to see him detonate the building, after he detonated the bomb, the outhouse near him exploded and he was trajected into the ocean. It seemed that Kit moved the dynamite and Shere Khan was impressed.


"Fascinating, Benson. And then once you've found them, you wear them in the dark?" -Shere Khan


"No. You forged my name, misused employees, broke a verbal deall, and your suit is not up to standard." -Shere Khan

Ep. 53- Baloo Thunder The episode begins in one of Shere Khan's conference rooms. Shere Khan was disappointed that the health of their corporation has dropped. Shere Khan asked Wilbury to give them an update on the top-secret project however, Mr. Perry

beside him covertly snatched his suitcase and then Wilbury believed he has forgotten his report back in his office. This angered Shere Khan so he activated the trapdoor down Wilbury's seat and Wilbury fell down. Mr. Perry claimed he had a back-up report which was actually Wilbury's report. The report contains information that Khan Industries will set record profits their current quarter due chiefly to the top-secret flying project. When it is mass-produced, it will definitely give them the edge over their rival, the Miniversal Corporation.


After the meeting, Shere Khan asked Mr. Snarley that he doesn't want to be disturbed for anything less than a million dollars. After Buzz failed to warn Shere Khan that someone is going to steal the Top Secret Project to Miniversal Corporation, Perry accused Buzz that he is the spy and so, the security chased Buzz to the Top Secret Project door. After the security broke in the Top Secret Room, Buzz broke through the ceiling with the Top Secret flying machine. Perry telephoned Shere Khan that the Top Secret Project was stolen and so, Shere Khan demanded Perry to post a reward for Buzz's capture and the return of his project and made sure Perry doesn't disappoint him.


In the end of the episode, Mr. Sultan, the owner of Miniversal corporation was present. It seemed he paid Shere Khan a visit in order to just mock him by apologizing that he has lost their secret project. Mr. Sultan then mocked Shere Khan that he's also going to have his secret project, which is actually Shere Khan's Secret Project. Baloo broke in through the giant window of Shere Khan's office and told the tiger that the helicopter he was flying belongs to him. Buzz then straighten up the misunderstanding that he tried to warn them that Perry is the one who steals the helicopter. Perry arrived at the office all dripping wet and told Shere Khan that he has returned the helicopter back to Shere Khan however, not realizing that Mr. Sultan is present, Perry's act of being a double-agent was foiled. Mr. Sultan was angry about the double-crossing and blurted out that he paid Perry a million dollars to steal the Secret Project.


When Baloo and Kit were heading to the door, Shere Khan caught up and gave Baloo an envelope of money as a token of his appreciation. When Baloo and Kit continued their way out, Shere Khan asked Mrs. Snarley to collect the money from Baloo as charge for broken window, repairs for the helicopter and parking on a non-helicopter zone. This made Baloo sad as he sobbed as the elevator went down.


"Like a jungle, a corporation is only as healthy as the green it produces. Last quarter, our green dropped a leaf. I trust taht won't happen again." -Shere Khan


"I'll be tending my jungle for the rest of the day, Mrs. Snarley. I do not wish to be disturbed for anything less than a million dollars." -Shere Khan


"You did Khan Industries a great service, Mr. Baloo. A token of my appreciation." -Shere Khan


"Mrs. Snarely, the gentleman is on his way out." -Shere Khan
