A lighthearted mid-century cartoon short about a mischievous bear learning a lesson from a patient ranger, built entirely on slapstick humor and gentle moral instruction.

Humphrey the bear isn't having much luck with his fishing; every time he catches some nice fish, he gets distracted and drops them. So he goes after the catches of the local anglers instead. But ranger Woodlore frowns on this, insisting the bear fish like one.
