is one of Alex the lion's favorite holidays back in the zoo, for he was practically showered with Valentines from numerous admirers, but now that he is in Africa, he is finding that Valentine's Day is not what he was used to. Soon after, a perfume, called "Love Potion no. 9", is tossed out of a delivery plane and is discovered by King Julien, who wants to sell it to the animals of the Savannah. Meanwhile, Marty the zebra, meets a female Okapi whom he, and the rest of the zebras, are infatuated with but she's not that interested. He tried to get some of the potion on himself but Julien ran out, so Marty creates an actual potion that genuinely makes him irresistible to the okapi. Unfortunately, so are 99% of the females on the savannah. At first he's enjoying it, but after a while, Marty finds that being irresistible isn't all it's cracked up to be so he eventually jumps in the watering hole to lose the crowd, removing his irresistible smell in the process. Meanwhile, it's Melman the giraffe's first Valentine's Day with Gloria the hippo, and as such, he's determined to make it a perfect one, even if it means going a bit overboard. It's Gloria's first Valentine's Day too with Melman and she's excited but Melman's been so caught up with working on Gloria's surprise gift that she assumes he's ignoring her and thinks he is dumping her on Valentine's Day. While the penguins find resources to make the love potion at a camp, Skipper's bobble-head doll wife, Dollface, has "run off" with another bobble-head doll. While out running the humans, Skipper apologizes to Dollface for being insensitive to her on Valentine's Day and she "forgives him". Back in the savannah, Alex and Julien attempt to make another potion, but Alex has the opposite effect and smells horrible to everyone. After Gloria realizes why Melman was so distant and reconciles with him, Marty comes in and reminds them that Alex hasn't got a single Valentine card from anyone. So they put cards on his "Valentine Tree" to make it up to him. Julien soon arrives with another potion labeled "Love Potion no. 15" and, once again, tries to sell the potion to everyone, but the container shatters spilling the potion on Julien causing his fur to fall off, leaving him naked. Suddenly, all the animals leave, completely disgusted. the film ends with Julien's advisor, Maurice, trying to cover him up, due to Julien saying "Where is the Love?"
