A lighthearted, slapstick-driven animated short about a mischievous bear's refusal to hibernate, built entirely on physical comedy and gentle chaos.

Park ranger Donald sends his bears off to hibernate, but Humphrey would rather stay in his hammock, run out for a glass of water, etc., than sleep; when he does get to sleep, his snoring gets him thrown out. His search for a new bed leads him right into the ranger's house.
