Eva invites her two admirers to a picnic in the woods. Cicero carries all the burdens and does all the hard work, while Percival lolls about and enjoys himself. At lunch, Percival sits next to Eva and monopolizes the conversation, leaving his rival out in the cold. While Cicero and Eva are washing up the dishes, a little bear cub runs up behind Percival, who promptly breaks all speed records in reaching a tree on the edge of a lake. With the little bear close at his heels, he swarms up the tree and out onto a branch hanging over the water, into which he is precipitated with the branch. After struggling ashore he tells the others an appalling tale of an encounter with a four-footed monster, topping off with a recital of his daring adventures as a war correspondent. Just then a huge mother bear noses up behind them. Eva sees the old bruin first and, with a shriek, jumps to her feet. Percival looks inquiringly around, then does another cross-country run, compared to which his first effort was slow. Little Cicero, however, calmly takes the ribbon off Eva's candy box, and to her amazement, ties it gently around the bear's neck, and after feeding it a piece of candy, bids Mother Bear run along home. The beast trots off and Eva, exclaiming, "My Preserver," throws her arms around Cicero's neck. When next they meet Percival, that young man receives the "cold shoulder" and Eva and Cicero turn their backs on him. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
