In preparation of the "Kupatana" celebration, a kind of Christmas in the pride lands, Simba allowed Kion and his Lion Guard to rescue a small jackal pup in the outlands from the hyenas. What they didn't know so far was that this lion pup has quite a large family that all also settle there. With a friendly smile they tried to hide their dark purpose of stealing the food supplies of all the other animals. When they are caught it was a "misunderstanding" and it is Kupatana after all. In the end Simba and the Lion Guard banished the jackals from the pride lands.
