Scar manipulates the young Simba to enter a hyena hunting area in the hope that the young heir will be killed. When that fails he creates a situation where Simba is trapped in a stampede, summoning Mufasa to rescue his cub and ultimately killing him in the process. In the aftermath, Simba flees into exile while Scar, who says both are dead, becomes the new king, opening up the Pride Lands to the hyenas and removing any restrictions on hunting.
