In "Game Hunt," Everette Sloane stars as a safari guide who teaches an inexperienced hunter a lesson about killing purely for sport.
As the episode opens, three men leave their base camp in Kenya and head into the savannah. They are led by Jeffrey Harcross, a professional white hunter who is hired to make tourists on safari believe they are invincible hunters. He is travelling with his client, Howard Babson, and their native Maasai tracker, Charlie.
They soon find what they are seeking, a male lion that would be a stunning addition to a trophy wall. Jeffrey tells Mr. Babson not to shoot until instructed, but he doesn't heed the warning. Mr. Babson shoots too soon and wounds the animal.
Now, the lion is hurt and dangerous. Moreover, it is against the law to leave an animal in that condition. So now, they must go into the tall grass after the lion...
Will they come out of it with their trophy?
