A male zebra was born with only half his stripes and was laughed at by his whole tribe. This zebra's name was Khumba. Tombi said he was funny looking and admit he's kind of cute. The tribe blamed the lack of rain. The other zebras didn't let Khumba join in their games. Tombi befriended him and played with him. Tombi doesn't like the other girlie cheerleader zebras. Tombi has a brother, Themba who the cheerleader zebras are all over and is the boyfriend of Fifi. Tombi's father is Thabo who is a rival of Khumba's father, Seko. Tombi regularly apologizes to Khumba about the clan's behavior towards him. After Khumba left the tribe to seek out his stripes, following the map the mantis had made for him, Tombi discovered the map while looking for him within the enclosure. She saw the lines in the earth and, recognizing that it must be what he was looking for, resolved to try and find him.
She wanted to go find Khumba but Seko insisted that he'd go. She kept believing that Khumba was still alive when Seko told the tribe he followed Khumba's tracks and Phango's covered them into a dry river bank. Tombi continued to believe he was still alive. When Tombi was correcting the tribe while sending them off to find Khumba, Thabo admit he's proud of her.
Outside the perimeter, Tombi and Seko were amazed to discover that Khumba is still alive and is heading towards Phango 's cave. During their epic underwater battle, Phango headlocked Khuma's body to a rock while a large chunk of rock splinters it and cracks the walls of the cave. A waterfall emerges and eventually a watering hole at the surface. The zebras, antelopes, and friends are gathered watching in suspense. Phango scratches his white butt. Khumba falls the the bottom of the ground and is presumed dead but awakens. He gains his actual full stripes and everybody is happy. Tombi bonded with her father.
Back at the herd, all of Khumba's new friends from the National Park are all playing games and the other zebras now accept him for who he is. Khumba and Tombi made friends again and Tombi played soccer with Thabo. Tombi is also sister to Nigel the zebra with bucked teeth.
