A sentinel is surprised by some bears and climbs up onto his sentry box in order to hide himself. He takes off his uniform and throws it at the bear, but this does not affect the animals in the slightest and a gun shot has no better effect. One bear creeps into the box, when a brigand arrives who does not know that it is there, and seeing the soldier's garments wants to steal them, but no sooner is he going to take them away than the bear rushes on him. The soldier pushes the box over the fighters and calls for help. Some other soldiers are coming and they lift up the box, but to their great surprise they find only the bear's head and the brigand's cap. A drama must have happened inside.
