The animals and birds are enjoying themselves in a sunny forest clearing. A wolf is hunting in the neighboring thicket. He tracks down a deer, which flees into the clearing. There it is protected by a bear. The predator has to leave without prey. The woodpecker, jay and squirrel are now constantly on the lookout. When the wolf appears near the clearing again, the woodpecker beckons the animals to come and together they await the attack. A surprising intervention by the bear ends the wolf's life. The animals thank their savior and peace returns to the clearing.
