Young scout Gertie encounters a hungry brown bear in the woods and sees an opportunity: "If I help you, I'll earn my Wildlife Buddy Merit Badge, so let's find you some lunch." The bear is the perfect straight man for Gertie, who would win a bossiness competition against Lucy van Pelt. The comics-style art captures their humorous exchanges and eventual mutual appreciation.
