An animated seal balances a ball on its nose in the center ring of a circus. An animated bear walks into frame, grabs the ball from the seal, and hops atop it, balancing on top of the ball, to the dismay of the seal. The bear and the seal battle for the use of the ball, until suddenly the seal gets an idea, which it whispers inaudibly to the bear. The bear climbs back atop the ball, and then the seal lifts the bear atop the ball up and balances the ball on its nose again. The bear shouts "cooperation!" with glee.
