They're shooting a "Jaws"-type movie at the beach, when the remote control falls into the mechanical shark's mouth, and it zooms off. Dennis finds the fake shark, and crawling inside it, has fun frightening his friends. The shark talks to amazed Mr. Wilson, who summons the press, claiming he's found a talking shark! Naturally, he looks foolish when Dennis climbs out of it. Henry takes Dennis and Joey to a drive-through Lion Country Safari-type place... then, thanks to Dennis, the car breaks down. He locks the kids in, while he heads back on foot, making them promise not to leave the car! But almost instantly little Joey is running through the jungle, totally unaware of the dangers around him, and soon Dennis has to rescue him from a charging rhino, a hungry crocodile, and an angry elephant, among others. But Dennis manages to get Joey safely back inside the car, only moments before Henry arrives with the gas -- never once suspecting that the kids had ever left it!. Dennis and Henry go to the Steeplechase race to watch a horse that Henry's friend owns. However, just before the race, Dennis, while trying to help out the jockey, adds a little too much in the jockey's "protein drink," causing the jockey to drop out of the race. Dennis feels responsible, so he takes off on the horse and enters the race. It is a wild race with Dennis coming out the winner, making the horse's owner very happy.
