On the bustling streets, Oswald, the Lucky Rabbit and a streetwise newspaper seller, hears a distress call that pulls him toward a nearby house. He peeks through a window and discovers a large, turbulent bear interrogating a small girl about where the money is hidden. Oswald tries to step in and intervene, but he’s easily pushed aside as the bear looms over the scene.
