George is exploring New York during the morning of a weekend and receives the newspaper from a news stall. Once home he discovers an advertisement of the great magician Piccadili, advertising a baby elephant named Kayla. Ted (the Man in the Yellow Hat) is the only candidate for museum director of the Bloomsberry Museum after his employer announces retirement, and makes all the studies necessary to take over. After some convincing from his love interest Maggie, he takes George and her to the magic performance, where George befriends Kayla, who is unsuccessful at juggling. George and Kayla manage to find a way out and George takes Kayla to Ted's apartment. Meanwhile, Piccadili and Ted are looking for George and Kayla to discover they are both gone. Piccadili calls security agent Danno Wolfe to track down his elephant. Piccadili suspects Ted as the culprit and commands him not to leave town. At Ted's apartment, George and Kayla watch a news update about Kayla's former life with her brother and sister in California, and George decides to help her. Ted discovers them and insists that they must return Kayla. George leads Kayla to the California Express and travels in a box car. Ted accidentally gets trapped in the box car and travels through St Louis.
