Park ranger Donald is pleased the tourist season is over, now he can send those bears he hate out of his sight to hibernate, but Humphrey not only needs a good kick in the backside to get him out of a hammock and into the cave, his shenanigans and snoring inside lead to his eviction by his better-behaved bear brethren. Being too weak and yellow to chase even a rabbit, he can find no natural dwelling, so he tries his luck at the ranger's station, but can't hide his huge self and Donald proves his worth at bear-chasing with a spiked bat to batter Humprey's butt trough the cat-trap. Finally a very human attribute inspires his roguish return to the bear cave...—KGF Vissers
