In Real Life Police Officers Do Arrest Everyone Not Firefighters.

George causes a false alarm again in Curious George at the Fire Station.

The Man finds him there, buys all the balloons from the street vendor, and finally takes George to his new home at the zoo, where each animal gets its own balloon. He is carried by the breeze until it stops, leaving George on top of a traffic signal, making the traffic mixed up. after escaping he spots a balloon vendor and tries to grab a balloon, but ends up grabbing the entire bunch and flying off into the air. This stalls him and buys George enough time to run out the open door.

The watchman however is heavy that the bed tips over and pins him against the wall. At that moment, a watchman comes in and climbs on a wooden bed to catch George. George wanted to get out so he climbed up to the window to try the bars. They tell George that since he fooled the fire department, they will have to shut him up in a prison where he cannot do any more harm.

The skinny firefighter caught one arm and the fat one caught the other. But when they rush to the house, all they find is no fire but a monkey (which is George). Then they get on their fire trucks quickly. They are unaware that it is George and think it is a real fire. Then they look at the map that shows them where the telephone call had come from. When the firefighters hear the call, they rush to the telephone and hear no answer. But then he inadvertently calls the fire station. The next day, after seeing the Man, the Man makes a telephone call to the zoo before leaving.

When they arrive in America, George is taken to the Man's house, has a meal, smokes a pipe, then goes to bed. They throw him a lifesaver and pull him aboard. Luckily, the crew notices that George is missing, and spot him in the Atlantic Ocean. On deck, George sees some seagulls, tries to fly with them, and falls overboard. He then gives George the run of the ship and tells him not to get into trouble. The Man takes George in a rowboat to his cruise ship where he gets him out of the bag and then tells George that he is taking him to a zoo in a big city and that he will like it there. George, ever curious, comes down from the tree ' to look at the large yellow hat.' He puts the hat on but it is so large that he could not see and this gives the man in the yellow hat the chance to capture him and put him in a bag. He puts his hat on the ground and hides behind a tree. An unnamed man in a large yellow straw hat observes him through his binoculars and decides to bring the monkey home with him. The story opens with George, a little orphaned brown monkey, in the jungle of Africa.
