Barney Bear goes to the national park to have a picnic. Once there, however, a local bear ,mooches everything from Barney's basket.
It's a funny series of gags that makes this look like a Tex Avery short, and the red-headed bear certainly adds to the sense. That's because Avery's usual writer, Heck Allen, is one of the two writers, and Avery himself voices the second bear.
MGM didn't really have many cartoon stars, There were Tom and Jerry of course, and Avery turned out the occasional Droopy cartoon, but he didn't like repeating characters. Barney was a holdover from Rudy Ising's tenure, directing with his producing partner High Harman.
