The zoo keeper sees him, thinks he is cowardly and fires him. He also warns Phil to keep away from his daughter Estelle. Phil ignores this command and takes a large bear skin to Estelle as a gift. He is describing his imaginary, daring exploit in bagging the bear, when his rival begins poking fun at his tale of courage. His rival gets a messenger boy to dress up in the bear skin and emulate a bear. Phil thinks it is the bear he has been feeding and makes a hurried exit. Then his rival says that proves Phil is a coward and unworthy of her love. In the meantime, the real bear has torn father's clothes into shreds and started on a rampage. He encounters the messenger boy dressed up in a bear skin and, of course, the real bear frightens the boy. The lad goes around the corner to take off his bear skin, and Phil sees him. That makes him think that the bear is all a fake. But he makes the mistake of kicking the real bear, and it starts after him. Phil has many narrow escapes and finally breaks away from the house, running down the street. A stuffed bear outside of a fur shop scares him out of his clothes. And the beautiful Estelle has triumphed where the three men have failed, and has the real bear eating candy from her hands. Written by Copyright Description from Library of Congress See less
