Synopsis

Buddy, an enormous, black grizzly bear, escapes from the zoo and falls in love with a voluptuous nurse he finds sitting on a park bench. Discouraged by her cool reception, he swallows a bottle of male hormone pills to make himself into a human, so that women will no longer flee his embraces. Instead, the pills merely inflame his desire and provoke a series of misadventures. He crashes a poolside party while the men are indoors playing poker, and creates a panic among the nude sunbathers. At the Los Angeles Artists and Models Ball, attended by a variety of scantily-clothed guests, he is mistaken for a man dressed in a bear costume. He tries unsuccessfully to woo one woman away from her drunken boyfriend and dances with another, who nearly falls for him until she realizes that he is not in costume.
