Living in the forest is very strange and difficult for a young orphaned squirrel raised by a kindly mother cat. Owl is the first denizen of the forest who Banner encounters. Initially he intends to eat him, but Banner, thinking himself a cat, fights back rather than flee, earning owl's respect and eventually his friendship. Later he meets other squirrels living in forest, However he got little support from them. Hunger leads him to the lake, because the only food that he knows himself to provide is fish. His strange actions attracted attention of young and beautiful squirrel Flappy and she decides to help him.
