在这部Barney Bear's Polar Pest片中,故事发生在寒冷的山区，白雪早已覆盖群山。在一座闪烁着昏黄灯光的小木屋内，大笨熊巴尼正躺在床上睡大觉。他是一头怕冷的熊，身上盖了厚厚的被子和衣服。这时门外突然响起一连串的敲门声，巴尼睡眼惺忪，颇有些不高兴，因为他明明在门口挂了“冬眠中，禁止打扰”的牌子。虽然不情愿，大熊巴尼还是打开门，来者是一头小北极熊，对方自称是巴尼的外甥。巴尼颇感沮丧，而且小外甥偏偏喜欢寒冷，这让巴尼倍感痛苦，他不得不一次次置身于寒冷而危险的境地中。
看来今年的冬眠计划又要泡汤了……
Barney Bear has a sign on his cabin door that says, "Do not disturb - asleep for the winter." Unfortunately, the poor bruin's wish to hibernate in his bed under a pile of clothing is dashed by the arrival of his nephew, a polar bear from up north, who has come down to spend the winter with him. Right away, the boy makes a pest of himself by opening all the windows in the cabin in order to let in some cold air. Next, he drags his uncle outside to go ice fishing, an adventure that nearly ends in disaster when Barney gets frozen in a block of ice and almost goes over a waterfall. The unwelcome visit is cut short when the boy realizes that Barney's patience has just about snapped.
