One quiet day when Lars, the little polar bear, is feeling lonely, he hears a noise coming from a deep hole. When he investigates he finds a little arctic hare named Hugo crying for help. Lars manages to get Hugo out of the hole, and the two start to play games. When Hugo is too frightened to slide down a steep hill, Lars says, "You aren't a scaredy-cat, you are a scaredy-hare!". But as they play together, it starts to snow and soon they are lost in a fierce snowstorm, far from home. In this fast-paced new adventure, Lars gets trapped inside a polar research station and Hugo has to find the courage to save him. By the time they get back home, Lars has made a life-long friend and he's learned what it's like to be a "scaredy-bear."
