The Bogus Bears
Starring: The Hair Bear Bunch Summary: While living it up in town playing miniature golf and going to the soda fountain, a city bear asks the bunch for a favor. Just then, they're warned of a surprise inspection and hurry back to their cave just in time. Still suspicious, Peevly disguises Botch as "Rare Bear" to discover how they do it. They are suspicious too, but take "Rare" on their next outing to play mini golf and drink soda. The city bear asks "Rare" to wear his hat and hold his satchel, then dons a duplicate hat and satchel and robs a nearby bank. Botch is arrested for the crime. Bubi finds a bear suit in a garbage can, and Hair spots a man carrying a familiar satchel. The three capture the real crook. Peevly declines punishment since they freed Botch but demands they don't leave again. With their reward money, they install a mini golf course and soda fountain inside the zoo.

Hair uses his new skill to make the bears invisible to the keepers. To try and find them, Peevly uses a hot air balloon to get a bird's eye view of the zoo.
