Hidden in the forest bordering a small village is a thatch cottage, home to a loving family of bears. Papa earns a living by selling honey to the people in the village through his only human contact, a hunter the cubs call Uncle Red. Red often told stories to the cubs during his visits and one of his tales exites the imagination of two of the youngsters. They visit the forbidden human village where one of them is captured and put on exhibition. The search for the missing cub enlists the aid of many forest animals and leads to the discovery of a monster living in a cave. Unraveling the mysterious history of the monster and rescuing the missing cub tests the imagination and tenacity of the Bear Family. The interaction of the bears, forest friends, and the monster forever changes the lives of all.
