Plumford from the caravan and prepares to stab the doctor with a large dagger but Mowgli arrives and pushes him aside. Boone and Wilkins shoot Baloo, badly wounding him.Īs a backup plan, the bandits attack the carriage carrying Kitty, Colonel Brydon and Dr.

Buldeo tries to shoot the boy, but Baloo intervenes and rears up in front of Buldeo and roars, causing the hunter to faint. They try to capture him but fail as Mowgli throws several of his attackers off and flees. The large group searches for the jungle boy and eventually find him. When that plan fails and after Mowgli flees back to the jungle, Boone sets off into the Black Jungle, aided by numerous bandits, Wilkins, Buldeo, Tabaqui and another recruit Sergeant Harley. At the table, Buldeo and his partner-in-crime Tabaqui tell William and Wilkins the stories of the lost city and the four of them hatch a plan to convince Mowgli into leading them to the city. Several days later, while Mowgli's girlfriend Katherine "Kitty" Brydon is re-introducing him back to civilization, William and Lieutenant Wilkins visit Buldeo at an outdoor tavern to find out information about the dagger. Before leaving, Buldeo informs William that the dagger "is having very important family."

He takes the dagger and briefly marvels at the sight of it before Captain William Boone, his apparent hunting friend, approaches and takes the "queen's evidence" off him. Buldeo roughly knocks the boy out with his rifle, then notices that he has a bejeweled dagger from "The Lost City of Hanuman". Nathoo orders Buldeo to shoot Shere Khan at this opportunity, but the cowardly hunter ungratefully flees (probably also as an act of retaliation for being reprimanded earlier), therefore, leaving Nathoo to die despite Colonel Brydon and every other soldiers' effort to shoot the tiger, which fails.īuldeo isn't seen again until years later when he confronts an older Mowgli who is running from British troops after being caught in the palace. When he finally corners Buldeo, Nathoo jumps in and distracts Shere Khan, saving Buldeo's life. The tiger then finds Buldeo and briefly chases the hunter. Later, as the tour sets up camp, Shere Khan retaliates for the earlier hunting by attacking the camp - killing a sentry and Sergeant Claibourne, one of the soldiers who had been hunting before, thus, alerting everyone. Buldeo, however, brushes off Nathoo's accusations and insists it was merely "a few animals here or there." Nevertheless, Nathoo isn't happy and replies: "Would you allow someone to break into your house and steal your food?" and that "these three broke the jungle law. Nathoo (Mowgli's father who is also the guide) reprimands Buldeo for being so foolish and going against the Jungle Law. Buldeo partakes in the journey but tries to hunt a few animals with the help of two British officers under Brydon's command, but Shere Khan is nearby and is infuriated at the senseless killing. He first appears at the beginning of the film as a tour around the Black Jungle of India takes place with Colonel Geoffrey Brydon and his troops. Stefan Kalipha Buldeo is the secondary antagonist in Disney's Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book.
