Pipì, Pupù and Rosemary are erring through a desert, still searching for Mapà, when they meet a beaver, an elephant and a cactus which, instead of looking for Mapà, are looking for Pamà. Immediately a competition erupts between the two camps of "searchers" as to who is the strongest, Mapà or Pamà. But after running matches, high-jumping competitions, greco-roman wrestling and indeed coin throwing and stone tossing, nobody manages to win. Finally, exhausted, the two groups decide there is no winner and they each continue their personal search.
