The Wachootoo mistake Ace as the "White Devil", and have him go through many painful and humiliating challenges to gain their trust. He travels to the Wachootoo tribal village, with Ouda translating the chief's words rather poorly.
After being attacked with drugged blow-darts, Ace suspects the medicine-man of the Wachootoo of taking the bat, as he strongly disapproves of the wedding. Ace's investigation involves eliminating obvious suspects-animal traders, poachers, and a safari park owner among others-and enduring the growing escalations of threat between the Wachati and the Wachootoo. Ace also befriends the tribal prince, Ouda, who assists Ace. However, Ace admits his oath to clerical celibacy, but aggressively masturbates in a hut afterwards. He eventually befriends the tribe's princess, who tries to seduce Ace.
After arriving in Nibia and meeting with consul Vincent Cadby, Ace begins his investigation, but must overcome his fear of bats in order to succeed.Īccompanied by his capuchin monkey, Spike, Ace begins his search for the missing bat. Greenwall wants Ventura to find the Great White bat 'Shikaka', a sacred animal of the native Wachati tribe, which disappeared shortly after being offered as dowry of the Wachati Princess, who is set to wed the Wachootoo Prince in a marriage of state. Greenwall is subjected to Ventura's questionable behavior when he starts mimicking different mating calls, and his reckless driving when they head off to Africa, warning him about the hostility of eastern lowland gorillas as it is mating season. Because Ace is a liability for the monastery, the Grand Abbot gives Ace excuses to justify his departure, and sends him off with Greenwall.
Once he has recovered, he is approached by Fulton Greenwall, a British correspondent working for the consulate of Bonai Province in the fictional African country of Nibia. In the Himalayas, after a failed rescue mission results in a raccoon falling to its death (a parody of Cliffhanger), Ace Ventura succumbs to severe depression and joins a Tibetan monastery.
