Ted, known as the "man in the yellow hat" of the earlier book series (Will Ferrell) is a Bloomsberry Museum employee who accepts an expedition into Africe to fine the Lost Shrine of Zigawa. Upon arriving, Ted hikes to search for the missing Shrine. George sees Ted's bright yellow hat and mistakes it for a banana, so he chases after it, eventually sneaking onto the ship back to the United States. Ted is unaware George had followed him home until arriving in his apartment. George causes problems throughout the city by being curious and getting into things he should not.
