You don’t suppose that policemen will mind our borrowing his motorcycle without telling him?

Genre

anthropomorphic-funny animals; humor

Characters

Heckle; Jeckle; hibernating bear

Synopsis

When their “borrowed” motorcycle gets a flat in the middle of nowhere, Heckle and Jeckle seek shelter from the winter’s snow and plummeting temperatures by barging into the warm and food-stocked cave of a hibernating bear. When the inevitable clash comes, will the “feathers fly” (south) or will the bear be “fur-flung”?
