What's the Story About?

The story begins with Sam-I-Am. He saves a rare animal called a Chickeraffe from a zoo. Sam wants to take the Chickeraffe back to its home in nature. By accident, Sam swaps his briefcase with Guy-Am-I. Guy is an inventor whose ideas usually don't work out.

Sam's briefcase holds the Chickeraffe. So, Sam and Guy end up on a wild road trip adventure. They meet E.B., a girl who wants the Chickeraffe as a pet. E.B.'s mom, Michellee, is very protective. She also starts to like Guy.

But they are not alone! A rich and mean animal collector named Snerz wants the Chickeraffe for himself. Two mysterious agents, McWinkle and Gluntz, are also chasing them. Plus, Snerz hires a tough bounty hunter named Goat. Everyone wants the Chickeraffe, who E.B. names Mr. Jenkins.
