Elizabeth Carling is the narrator in this episode of one of television's longest-running and most successful nature documentary series. The beautiful monarch butterfly of North America spends part of the year in a swarm and has become an emblem for the people of Pacific Grove in Monterey County, California. This creature starts life as a large and handsome caterpillar with very specialised feeding habits. For Professor Fred Urquhart of Toronto, the monarch butterfly has been the subject of a lifetime's study and it has taken 40 years of patient detective work to find the answer to the ultimate question. Where do the monarchs go in the winter?
