 Wendy and her two small brothers hide in Cave of the Lost Boys after escaping Captain Hook. Lost Boys have no parents, are both comical and pathetic. Wendy sings them a song, "Your Mother and Mine"

In Never Land also live fierce Indian braves, whose encampment is on top of high precipice. At their war dance they name Peter Pan "Little Flying Eagle" because he saved chief's daughter from Captain Hook

Things look serious for Wendy, her brothers and the Lost Boys when they are seized by the Indians and threatened with death at the stake. Peter saves them, and "Squaw" Wendy is ordered to gather firewood

Captain Hook smiles as Tinker Bell, sitting on champagne cork, re- veals children's hiding place. In this film she's portrayed as a real character. In all earlier Peter Pans she's been just a beam of light
